I've got wins against Tulsa, unc, unm, and sjsu. Maybe we pick up utsu at home. Don't see us beating Hawaii on the road, but it's possible. I'm gonna say 5-7, and anything beyond that exceeds expectations this year.

4-8
Considering last year was one of our best teams in world history according to Bohl, what we lost on defense and the reality that Bohl's offensive philosophy is garbage - we will be lucky to get to 4 wins. And along the way, we get to lose to BYU (badly) and CSU. The trophy case will be empty, with the possible exception of the Paniolo, which is no sure thing considering the anal attack we all witnessed last season. The good news...we are saved the annual Bohl French Fry Golden Shower on the Blue in Boise in December.

No clue. Possibly 7-8. Possibly 2. SOOOOO MANY UNKNOWNS this year. Hopefully 6 so that we can play the 5th place school from the MAC in cold ass Boise again.
Can't argue with your breakdown, but I hope we can figure out how to beat NM and continue our recent success over CSU, as I'd like to qualify for any bowl game. Even the lesser bowl games give us more practice and helps with recruiting. But I'd settle for one win if it was vs BYU. There's a good chance they'll have a losing record when we play them. It'd be nice to be the ones that end their season so early. If we beat them there is a good chance they won't qualify for a bowl game.LawPoke said:

If I was voting, I would have picked Wyoming in the basement of the Mountain division unfortunately. But I do agree that Hawaii (a mess after last year) and UNLV (coached by Arroyo) are likely to be worse. I also believe that Wyoming will be better than Nevada. But then again - I'm picking CSU to win the Mountain Division so what do I know.

I'm personally sitting at 5 wins myself, however I also see the ceiling at 7 wins, and the floor at 3. Just my thoughts. Now best case scenario we see some crazy turnaround of sorts and see us potentially bust out like in '16, highly unlikely, but he'll at this point I will take what I can get. I'd like to have a surprise.

Pre-season All-Conference team...no Wyoming players.
Pre-season All-Conference team...no Wyoming players.
Love the POKES, but absolutely no confidence in Bohl.
My prediction: 3-9 (3 wins and 9 losses)
Illinois (Away) LOSS - Illinois has same personnel problems as WYO. Barry Lunney, Jr., UI's new offensive coordinator is the REAL deal. He will do more with less. Burman should note what a real offensive coordinator looks like.
Tulsa (Home) WIN - Sloppy game with plenty of errors, but WYO squeaks out a victory.
Northern Colorado (Home) WIN - A good showing by NO CO, but WYO notches a win.
Air Force (Home) LOSS - Pokes play tough, but AF ground game wears us down.
BYU (Away) LOSS - BYU dominates big time. WYO now stands at 2-3 after 5 games.
San Jose State (Home) WIN - 6th game into the season and WYO is nursing key injuries, but SJS can't keep up with us in War Memorial Stadium.
Now starts the skid!
New Mexico (Away) LOSS - WYO injuries still a problem. WYO drops a game we should have won.
Utah State (HOME) LOSS - Home cooking no help to WYO. Utah State wins easily.
Hawaii (AWAY) LOSS - After two consecutive losses questions beginning to creep into WYO locker room prior to game. Now 3 consecutive losses and WYO stands at 3-6.
CSU (AWAY) LOSS - Rams pour it on WYO. WYO players just want the season to end.
Boise State (Home) LOSS - Poor showing by WYO. Now fans just want the season to end.
Fresno State (Home) LOSS - WYO injuries, dejected players and dejected fans end the season.
A 3-9 season, with 6 consecutive losses continues Bohl's overall 10 year loosing record at WYO.

Correct. I believe the MWC has 4 players on the list
Swen is good but he isn’t even the only Wyoming running back from last year’s team on the list. Valladay also received the nod.

Why is everyone expecting “goat U” to do so well. Norvell may be a decent coach, maybe, but first year, new program……..I just don’t see that fast of a turn around.

He took basically all the best parts (sans QB) with him to Fort Fart from Nevada...and I guess QB is looking solid as it stands. He is also one of the best at recruiting the portal and being able to plug and play, something Bohl is far from understanding how it works.

Why would the defense be better? Here are some guys from the 2016 defense:
1) Eric Nzeocha
2) Logan Wilson
3) Lucas Wacha
4) Cassh Maluia
5) Rico Gafford
6) Marcus Epps
7) Tyler Hall
8) Andrew Wingard
The 2016 defense is similar in respect to a young team with a few veterans sprinkled in. Do you believe the current defensive roster matches the talent of the 2016 defense? I’m doubtful we have 8 guys on that side of the ball who can make it into an NFL training camp.
No this team doesn’t have the same defensive talent as the 2016 team. However neither did last years. The 2021 team held opponents to 23 points a game vs 34 points a game in 2016.
In a year 9 of Bohl’s defense I doubt his teams will start giving up 30 points per game. His defense is 3 deep at corner with 14 Sec and Big Ten starts between the transfers. I think pass rush could be good.
It comes down to offensive improvement and that starts with QB and running Running back. We have a running back, so this season hinges on how good Peasley can be.
