Wyoming coach Dave Christensen says his team is trying to maintain its normal routine to help players cope with the death of a teammate.

Nineteen-year-old linebacker Ruben Narcisse (nar-CEESE') of Miami died in a wreck Monday after he and several other UW teammates visited friends in Fort Collins, Colo.

One player remained hospitalized Tuesday, while two others were treated and released.

Christensen says 18-year-old Christian Morgan of Aurora, Colo., had surgery on his elbow and may be released Wednesday.

The Colorado Highway Patrol says the accident occurred about 5:30 a.m. Monday when the players' pickup drifted off U.S. 287 south of the Wyoming state line and crashed.

Christensen says the team plans to wear a decal with Narcisse's initials.
