Game Previews:

What to Watch For:

  • UNLV: Can the Rebels learn how to be effective on offense despite their injuries? Can they withstand Notre Dame?
  • Hawaii: Can Hawaii keep the good times rolling and can their offense keep taking steps forward?
  • Colorado State: Have the Rams made strides on offense and will players returning from injures give them a boost?
  • San Jose State: Will the Spartans be able to bounce back after their upset loss and fix their flaws?
  • Fresno State: Was last week’s win the start of something sustainable for the Bulldogs or will they continue their uneven ways?
  • New Mexico: Can the Lobos make any improvements on offense? And if not, can their defense figure out how to do it all and win a game for them?
  • Boise State: Can the Bronco's new-look offense overcome the Falcon's defense that has always given them trouble?
  • Air Force: The top rushing offense is going up against one of the best defenses in the country, how will they fare?
  • Utah State: Can the Aggies keep up their winning ways against a stout defense? Is their resurgence sustainable or a mirage?
  • Wyoming: Can the Cowboys keep winning and avoid the pitfall losses that have plagued them in recent years?
  • San Diego State: Will the Aztecs get back on track against an inferior opponent?
  • Nevada: Can the Wolf Pack make adjustments necessary to find another win or will they continue their downside?
