Re: BENCH VANDER WAAL!

It was weird how Bohl protected Chambers, as if he's a liability throwing the ball. Could have fooled me, he looks no worse than Tyler throwing the ball.

Re: What do you think going forward?

I frankly don't even want to acknowledge the topic, but FWIW...dropping down is not going well for Idaho. They saw an exodus of players, fans, boosters after moving down and are getting thrashed in the Big Sky. Things got dark and negative real fast. Wyoming's a small state, Laramie is a small town,...

Re: What do you think going forward?

They should have lost to Boise, they did. They probably should lose to Hawaii, they did. They should definitely lose to Fresno and USU. They probably will. Then the should's end. The CSU, AFA, SJSU, UNM stretch begins. Likely to win all four? No, not at all...but those games are at least winnable. O...

Re: Fresno is 3 TD Favorites

Their game in Reno was really weird. Nevada was giving up yards and points in bunches all season, but largely kept the Bulldogs offense in check.

That said, no chance Wyoming wins this week unless some miracle happens on offense. Fresno has the best defense in the conference.

Re: Hawaii

Hawaii starts two true freshman on the OL. If the DL can't recapture its 2017 form this week, it won't in 2018.

Re: What has happened to the Cowboy Defense?

Schedule and freakish turnovers. Prolific offenses moved the ball on us last year, too. Last year's D vs BSU, Mizzou, and WSU likely wouldn't be that much different than this year. I think a step back for sure, but not a big leap back. There is something to be said for this too. https://www.ncaa.co...

I figured the turnover total would come back to Earth, but geez it has crash landed back to Earth.

Re: The path to bowl eligbility

The last time we had a lot of Freshman and Soph playing as much football that we do, we went 2-10. If we can go 6-6 or 7-5 with a Frosh Qb, several Frosh and Soph OLs. I think we will be okay, and would be able to say that a down year for Wyo is considered .500. A lot better that a down year being ...

The path to bowl eligbility

There is no doubt, last night was a humbling experience for a program on the upswing. The 34-14 final probably flattered Wyoming a bit. That said, the Pokes sit at 2-3. Homerism aside, a neutral observer would have realistically had them at 2-3 through five games. Truth is, Fresno State is the only ...

Re: Recruiting or Coaching or Both

BSU's 5th option WR was a consensus 4-star recruit. Broncos looked more talented and deeper because they are. Missing David Moa and Tyler Horton, it made no difference. That's recruiting. Wyoming will see an uptick in recruiting soon because of the brand new facility, but you won't see the results o...

Re: Pokes will show up tomorrow!

Me thinks a lot of people did not give Boise State their due.

It's a helluva uphill climb. This @Hawaii, @Fresno, Utah State stretch is brutal, but the season remains young.

Re: Pokes will show up tomorrow!

Vigen called the game of his life vs. BSU in 2016. So at least there is precedent.

Re: Prediction for weekend

Everything comes down to one matchup: the Boise State OL vs. the Wyoming DL. If Rypien has time, he will continue his immaculate form of late (70% completion rate, 10TD/0INTs, 1000+ yards) and the Pokes are in trouble. If the Pokes DL can overwhelm the Boise OL like Oklahoma State did, that might be...

Re: 5 Things I Think: Wyoming vs Boise State [Wyonation Blog]

Smart points. Win or lose, it's imperative to at the very least play well this weekend. poop happens, but we need to see some evidence that the bye week and shortening the injury report will be a big boost. @Hawaii, @Fresno State, Utah State is as brutal a stretch as anyone could conceive in Mountai...

Evans, Bigelow, and Fort definitely back. Arnold and Hall appear questionable, maybe even probable. Colden doubtful.

I get the feeling this spread won't even be close to on point. Just not sure in which direction.

Oh dear. This year's Bronze Boot might be a bit of a throwback, and not the good kind.

Again, Boise is on a bye too. They too have an extra week to prepare.

Bye week: Now what?

Cowboys are 2-2 at the break. Wins over 0-4 NMSU and FCS Wofford, losses to Wazzu and Mizzou. Injuries have been a real problem. The offense has been a problem. At times, the defense hasn't been the vaunted force we've expected. 8 games to left on the schedule, plenty of times to turn things around....
