Are the Wyoming Cowboys finishing their season "strong"?

MackDonald · Nov 22, 2008

After a very "shakey" mid-season the Cowboys traveled to Knoxville, two weeks ago, and "knocked-off" Tennessee and then traveled to Las Vegas the following week and played UNLV "tough" for three quarters.

Colorado State has played well most of the season, especially against the spread; they are laying (2) points in Laramie today. Any thoughts on this late autumn football game?

Thanks for any input and best of luck to [all] this week-end.

TENNESSEE CAN'T SCORE ..COLORADO ST CAN

GETTING 2 AT HOME TELLS YOUR THE EXPECTED BETTER TEAM IS COLOST

THIGS DON'T ALWAYS WORK OUT HTE EXPECTED WAY..I'M NOT PLAYING THAT GAME..IF I DID I'D TAKE COLO ST SMALL:toast:

Wyoming has the better defense and will be able to move the ball against a beat up Col St defense.......Col St is also just 1-3 on the road this year while Wyoming is 3-3 at home.......

Col St cant stop the pass or the run.........its either Wyoming or nothing in this one

I am playing them for 10 units.......

GL Lewis. Wyoming problem this year is they were turnover machines. Could not keep the ball and killed drives, besides the fact they have an awful kicking game. Had to go for a lot of easy FG situations and came up empty.
SCOUTING THE DEFENSE
The biggest criticism of the Wyoming defense has been its inability to create turnovers. While the offense has given the ball away 33 times, the Cowboys defense has forced only 11 turnovers. If Wyoming can somehow turn the tables on an opponent in turnover margin, the emotion of a rivalry game could give the entire team enough of a boost to pull off the upset. It cannot allow CSU WRs Rashaun Greer or Dion Morton to go deep and get some easy scores because such a play might be enough to siphon the momentum from a program in turm

nice analysis.........and I agree.........I think today they will move the ball on the ground and control the tempo of the game......Col St should have alot of 3rd and longs which should lead to some int's......GL

Wyoming's biggest problem is they can't score..... even in their last two games where they supposedly looked good they just couldn't score... averaging 12pts a game for the season.

I like ColoSt -1.5
