Seriously?

Upsets happen, especially in college football, where travel is more difficult. On paper, though, Boise State should win this easily.

i would love to see wyoming return to the glory days of lloyd eaton coached teams but it’s gonna be a tough season for the cowboy gridders. although dave christensen had success as a rookie coach, the cowboys are on everyone’s radar now and he’ll have a tough-row-to-hoe to match last year’s record. plus they have to plug the holes on defense left by fletcher, johnson and unrein and offensive tackle ryan otterson’s graduations. those guys were studs! if carta-samuels shows up as a sophomore, that would sure help.

after a scrimmage-like opener against southern utah, they play texas and boise state on back-to-back weekends. result: 1 win and 2 losses. victories over air force and toledo the next two games would make the ’pokes 3-2 (or 2-3 with a loss to either of those teams) going into the tcu-utah-byu three-game juggernaut. hopefully they are 3-5 after that stretch and only have to win three-of-four against san diego st/new mexico/unlv/colorado state (and only one-of-two on the road) to finish the season at 6-6.

same as last year, i see wyoming 0-5 against the teams that likely will wind up in bowl games (texas/boise st/tcu/utah/byu). that said, with a 6-6 record, it’s possible the cowboys get an invitation to the armed forces bowl or the new mexico bowl as the fourth best mountain west team. although personally i hope they play in the humanitarian bowl in boise and have another chance to beat up on a wac team. i loved last years victory over fresno st. anytime pat hill gets his nose rubbed in it is alright by me.
