We can all agree it was a disappointing loss. So close yet so far. Lots of ups and downs. I'm waiting until next week before I can comment. SDpoke needs a hobby.
Bohl is good enough. We almost were conference champs in 2016. We were right there! I just don't understand why Bohl won't at least try to change things up on offense. If we can build a top flight MWC defense why can't we build a top flight offense? We can! We are capable of winning MWC championships at Wyoming, but things (coaches) need to change on offense.seattlecowboy wrote: ↑Sat Sep 21, 2019 6:29 pm Doesn’t matter what anyone says the offense sucks and has for how many seasons with Bohl at the helm now? If it hasn’t changed by now it isn’t going to.
Wyoming will be lucky to win 6 games this year and most years with this offense. Which is sad since the defense seems to be good again. It is basically Joe Glenn 2.0 as far as offense goes. The other sad part is Wyoming can’t get anyone better than Bohl so we are what we are.

I recorded the game watched the replay and it looks like Logan Harris was literally knocked out. I hope he is ok and loved to see the thumbs up, but with that type of possible concussion he might be out for the season at a minimum. Just a guess.
News from Facebook is that Logan Harris walked onto the team plane.LanderPoke wrote: ↑Sat Sep 21, 2019 9:26 pmI just hope he has the use of his legs for the rest of his lifeOrediggerPoke wrote: ↑Sat Sep 21, 2019 6:12 pmNo update from Reece other than Trey Smith, Titus Swen, Logan Harris, Alonzo Velazquez and Tyler Hall were all the players that did not return.

Most had our loss coming against Mizzou though. And yeah, I agree some pretty iffy calling by the refs at bad times, but those alone didn't really doom us to the loss. Stacks of injuries, bad execution on play calls, etc.Brown and Gold wrote: ↑Sat Sep 21, 2019 11:28 pm There wasn't a Wyoming fan alive that thought we'd be 4-0. The most opportunistic ones were 3-1 at best. Yeah....we should have won this game but we are just not that good of a team at least on offense. I have no issue with Chambers trying to win the game there. Tulsa got lucky today. Two major no calls that cost us points plus every little break was there's. We could not get our team in sync....our offense showed up late and our defense broke when it mattered. As bad as we played, we were a yard away from winning and that's not too bad. It hurts but it's a meaningless game when considering that we have conference now. Our coaches deserve to feel the sting of that loss with our poor scheme.
I totally agree. We're 7-1 in our last 8 games with wins against our over the border rivals, Howdy Dowdy and Missouri. We'll probably win our next 3 games and be 6-1 and bowl eligible. I'd like to see some excitement with the O, but overall I'm fairy pleased with the state of things. If you're down on this team, you need to take Marcus' advice.
Sadly I think we are seeing peak or near peak Chambers throwing ability. The key word here is ability...not mechanics...ability. Every athlete is limited in some way...Throwing passes seems kind of like free-throws. You can coach up to a certain level and beyond that it is more individual ability that is the limiting factor. Some guys just have some innate something that lets them get beyond where everybody else is at. Chambers and Vanderwall also have the dubious distinction of following one of the all time greats at QB at Wyoming. There was almost zero percent chance that the QB following Allen was going to be anywhere close to his level.fromolwyoming wrote: ↑Sat Sep 21, 2019 11:43 pmMost had our loss coming against Mizzou though.

When Chambers finally settled down in the 4th quarter, his passing was decent. But he really needs someone that can actually coach QBs to help him with his throwing, like what Josh finally got when he went to Buffalo.
And we were only 2 lousy yards and dumb assed bad timing of a fumble away from being 4-0.ItSucksToBeACSURam wrote: ↑Sun Sep 22, 2019 4:08 pm Damn. Lots of sky falling on here.

Are you a qb coach in a different life? You've determined that a freshman qb has reached his limits? In what way? He can throw it a long way. The throw to Okwalli on 4th down was like threading the needle. He needs to be more consistent - but he's a freshman in an offense that emphasizes running!307bball wrote: ↑Sun Sep 22, 2019 4:28 pmSadly I think we are seeing peak or near peak Chambers throwing ability.

Now, Chambers brings some other things to the table, so it's not like he is a bust back there...but it is frustrating to watch sometimes, and having Chambers behind center has also coincided with a group of WR that are not doing him any favors.
if Chambers doesn't fumble, we kick a field goal and go to overtime with a depleted team. I give us a 25% chance of winning in that scenario.Wyokie wrote: ↑Sun Sep 22, 2019 4:29 pmAnd we were only 2 lousy yards and dumb assed bad timing of a fumble away from being 4-0.ItSucksToBeACSURam wrote: ↑Sun Sep 22, 2019 4:08 pm Damn.
