Defense: <\/strong>Secondary<\/p>\nOffensively, I can\u2019t just give the award to one guy. It was a team effort in the backfield. The Cowboys have 4 legitimate running threats in Chambers, Valladay, Smith, and Swen. They combined for just under 300 yards and 3 touchdowns. What a statement.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Defensively, I don\u2019t want to just pick one guy either. Obviously, Halliburton\u2019s 17 tackles and long fumble return stand out but the whole secondary played a great game. I realize they gave up 423 yards passing, but that was on 48 attempts and they started playing everything in front of them toward the end of the game. I thought the corners absolutely flew around and made huge plays when they needed too and Rome Weber was solid in his first career game.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Who is your poke pick this week? Wyoming\u2019s coaching staff<\/strong><\/p>\nThe coaching staff needs to make sure this team is focused on this game. The Cowboys cannot afford any kind of let down after such an emotional win. I am Craig Bohl and Co. will do just that, but a loss on Saturday would be absolutely devastating after the Missouri win. Between Bohl and his Cowboy attitude and leaders in the locker room such as Logan Wilson, Austin Conway, Chamber, Halliburton, and Hall there will be plenty of voices to keep the younger Cowboys focused on the task at hand.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Wyoming wins if\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\nThey stick to Bohl\u2019s winning formula. Win third down, win the turnover margin, establish the ground game, be the more physical team, and control the ball. I think if they do 3\/5 they\u2019ll win, if they win more than 3 they will win handily and if they do less than 3 it\u2019ll be a dog fight.<\/p>\n

Game Prediction and one bold prediction\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\nMy bold prediction is that Austin Conway will score 2 touchdowns 2 different ways. He is so dynamic and had some great punt returns last week. He will catch a touchdown and add another either on a return, run, or yes maybe even throw one.
