Led by fourth-year head coach Dave Christensen, the Cowboys compiled an overall record of 4–8 record with mark 3–5 in conference play, tying for sixth place in the MW. The team played home games at War Memorial Stadium in Laramie, Wyoming. On October 13, Christensen confronted Air Force coach Troy Calhoun after the Cowboys' 28–27 loss to the Falcons. Believing Calhoun had told Air Force quarterback Connor Dietz to fake an injury in order to buy more time before the game-winning touchdown, Christensen launched a profanity-laced tirade at Calhoun, calling him a "fly boy." Christensen apologized the next night and was reprimanded by the Mountain West Conference for his actions. On October 22, Wyoming athletic director Tom Burman suspended Christensen for the Cowboys' game against Boise State and fined him $50,000. Assistant head coach Pete Kaligis coached the team in that game.http://trib.com/sports/college/wyoming/wyoming-ad-tom-burman-suspends-dave-christensen-fines-him-k/article_abdf5507-27bd-50db-95ca-674fef651696.html?comment_form=true Wyoming AD Tom Burman suspends Dave Christensen, fines him $50k for Air Force comments October 22, 2012 However, Wyoming credits the entire season to Christensen.
