Available to play Friday Scott (undisclosed) is available for Friday's game against Colorado State, Alex Taylor of Wyo Sports reports.
Deemed doubtful Scott (undisclosed) has been deemed doubtful for Wyoming's clash with Colorado State, Alex M. Taylor of WyoSports reports.
Impact Scott missed last week against New Mexico, and appears slated miss another game here in Week 12. The tailback has racked up 424 yards rushing and five scores this fall, but figures to be spelled by Harrison Waylee once again if he can't go.

Won't play Saturday Scott (undisclosed) did not travel with Wyoming ahead of Saturday's matchup with New Mexico, 7220Sports.com reports.
Impact The news comes as a surprise, as Scott hadn't had any reported injuries after rushing for 341 yards and three touchdowns in his last four contests. With Scott sidelined, Harrison Waylee is expected to start for the Cowboys in his season debut.
NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Leads backfield again Scott recorded 11 rushes for 115 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 27-25 loss to Utah State.
Impact Harrison Waylee (knee) was expected to return Saturday before ultimately sitting out an eighth straight game. Scott took advantage of the opportunity once again, topping 100 yards for the first time this season while adding his third rushing score. Even if Waylee does return next week as expected, Scott should continue to see work in a timeshare, at the least.
OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Sees 20 carries Scott tallied 20 rushes for 94 yards and a touchdown and reeled in 2 of 3 targets for two yards during Saturday's 27-24 loss to San Diego State.
Impact Scott continues to make the most of his chance to lead the Wyoming backfield -- the junior's now rushed for 191 yards with a pair of touchdowns in his last two games. Scott should serve as the Cowboys' go-to option again next week against San Jose State, though he'll likely fall into a committee with Harrison Waylee (knee) scheduled to return the following week against Utah State.
OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE
Leading rusher again Scott recorded 19 carries for 97 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 31-19 win over Air Force.
Impact Scott's now ran for 136 yards on 30 carries in his last two games after seeing just 10 rush attempts in his first three contests. With DJ Jones (personal) and Harrison Waylee (knee) both projected to return in the coming weeks, Scott's reign as Wyoming's lead back may be short-lived. However, the 230-pound junior has made a case to remain a part of a committee for the Cowboys moving forward.
OCTOBER 1 • ROTOWIRE
Leads backfield Saturday Scott compiled 11 carries for 39 yards and caught all three targets for 52 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 44-17 loss to North Texas.
Impact Scott had just 10 carries on the year coming into Saturday's matchup, though he wound up out-touching DJ Jones 14-to-11 against the Mean Green. The junior Scott would also add his first touchdown of the season, breaking off a 41-yard catch-and-run in the second quarter. It remains to be seen how Wyoming's backfield will shake out going forward, though it appears that Scott has worked his way into a timeshare with Jones with Harrison Waylee (knee) sidelined.
