Is embarrassing. It’s brutal. Pokes are in trouble if this continues. Routes are predictable, QB inaccurate, receivers drop balls. Shiiit.

The title of the thread is a misnomer.

We don't have a passing game.

It’s especially hard to understand in this day and age when quarterbacks throw for 300 yards in their sleep.

Not really. Bohl is actually winning. And beat at least a decent team in Mizzou. Glenn scraped by an awful Tennessee team. We have a pretty successful stable of RBs that seem to have at least one explosive play per game for a TD, and several more decent runs throughout. And this year we actually seem to have a good (not necessarily great, but good) o-line.

It'd be interesting to see this team against 2008 MWC. TCU and UT were damn good. AF and byu were decent. CSU was ok.
Us, UNM, UNLV and SDSU were not that good.
I don't think this year's team would have a guaranteed win on that schedule....maybe suds. Even ooc with Ohio, TN, Bowling Green, and ndsu.

I like Bohl. Not bashing but since it was brought up, I'm not convinced (yet) that this year's team would be a lot better in that 08 season. The Mizzou win was a good win. Glad we aren't staring down 2 top 10 teams and 1 top 25 team in the next 5 games.

That 2008 Wyoming team was one of the worst we've ever had, including Vic's teams. We lost 5 games in a row, and by an average of 35 points! Tennessee was a 6-6 team that year and fired their coach after the game. We only scored more than 21 points ONE time the entire season. This team has some problems, but we are better at every position on offense compared to that 08 team.

I think we are gonna see some QB shuffling by the end of the year. Especially with Freshman getting to play in 4 games.

108 total o 2008 vs 122 last year against way harder sos in 08.

No. Just not that much worse if at all.

AFA caught Colorado off-guard by its passing attack, which was credited as a large part of its victory over CU. But the Pokes will have no surprises in that respect unless they can alternate a QB in for passing when necessary

You can't really believe that going back to TVW is a good idea. Pretty incredible that your throwing Chambers under the bus for the lack of passing. I didn't see any receivers running free yesterday. I also didn't see great pass protection either. Whatever Chambers weaknesses are, he hasn't turned the ball over 1 time this year.

I wouldn’t rule it out. A coach has to do what it takes to win.

Chambers is 6-0 as a starter.

True. And I dont put all this blame on Chambers, but there is no way pokes beat Boise, AF, SDSU or USU continuing like this.

How many passes did he throw a rocket into the receivers feet or to the very top of their catch radius. Chambers had plenty of open throws yesterday and all season. His problem is in his head because his accuracy has been dog poop all year. Then he compounds his problem by throwing as hard as he can trying to be Josh Allen Jr.

Edit: I'm not saying we need TVW. I'm just saying Chambers is the biggest problem with the Wyoming passing game. He is making Tim Tebow look like an all-time passing quarterback right now.

Chambers has attempted 46 passes in three games
