Game Previews:
What to Watch For:
- Can Nevada’s high-flying offense continue it’s scoring outpour going from an FCS team to a SEC team?
- Likewise, New Mexico put up a ton of points last week, but gave up a ton too. Can they produce a good showing on both sides of the ball against Wisconsin?
- Who will take snaps at Quarterback for the Falcons? Will they use a two-QB system or will one eventually overtake the other?
- Which defense will show up for the Cowboys; the one that suffocated New Mexico State or the one that couldn’t get any penetration against Washington State?
- Will Colorado State show any signs of life? If they can’t get up for a home game against a SEC opponent, not win, but at least look like a football, then when will they?
- The Bulldogs looked great against Idaho, but are like many MWC teams, they are now facing a steep rise in competition. Many are saying this game vs Minnesota will prove what kind of team Fresno State actually is. Can they win?
- Utah State needs to avoid the post-almost-win-against-a-major-team hangover. Will they show they are a team to be reckoned with this season?
- Ditto for UNLV. After a good showing against USC, can they show this week that they are a bowl contender this year?
- Against lesser competition, can the Aztecs display that they can balance their offense with a good passing game or will they continue to run, run, and run some more?
- Boise State looked every bit of a ranked team. Can they keep their foot on the gas against lesser competition and not look ahead to Oklahoma State?
- Can San Jose State rebound from a disappointing loss? Going up against a PAC-12 team won’t be easy, but can they have a better showing?
- Will the Rainbow Warriors have a third impressive showing in a row? Some are saying Rice may actually be a tougher opponent than their first two, plus they have film on the run-and-shoot.
