We rank 128th in offense. Only 2 teams are worse. In arguably the worst year in WYO history, we averaged nearly 100 more yards/game than this year. We have MAJOR issues on offense that won't be cured in off-season workouts. Our QB situation will be more inexperienced than this year.

If we don't add some immediate help, I think the offense will struggle again. Maybe even worse. Throwing true Freshman in the current offense will be a disaster.

We have 2 options: keep plugging Freshman and Sophomores in and hoping it works out. Remember 4 years ago when everyone chastised those of us who dared utter the word JUCO? We were the youngest team and you don't do JUCO because of foundations, short-term fixes, and all that crap? 4 years ago was going to pay dividends this year.

Not advocating trying to put square peg in round hole. Just that I think we need to use a little more of our recruiting budget on the JUCO ranks in the next few years.

Either your ass is full of logic, or this wasn't actually derived by your ass. I might not completely agree with these numbers, but certainly with the order of probability.

Had our D-Line remained healthy, I don't think that drive to start the third would've happened. Our defense more or less controlled them despite the injuries, until more injuries and inexperience took over.

I really think he is the fastest RB that we have. It looked like to me he had it nailed into his head to follow his blockers at all costs and it didn't allow him to show what he can do in space.
I think with the defenses that we have played in the past few weeks (except boise) and the defenses that we are going to face and with the Oline getting better each game (a little) that he would do pretty good. On the one kickoff he had against Boise he looked pretty good in space.
Trey looks so slow and top heavy. He runs straight up and down and goes down easily. They said he looks like Brian Hill but I always think of Hill's first run against Montana and how he punished the guy. I haven't seen Trey Woods do that once.

Scott Hazelton deserves a raise.
