2026-2027 Season - Who's Excited?

Bohl ball for me was a love/hate type relationship and this is why:

Games under 300 yards total offense:

2014 - 0-3
2015 - 0-3
2016 - 0-0 Josh Allen
2017 - 5-3 Josh Allen
2018 - 0-5
2019 - 2-3
2020 - 0-1
2021 - 0-4
2022 - 2-5
2023 - 1-3

10-30 under 300 yds 6-21 mwc 4-9 OOC
(5-27 under 300 excluding Josh Allen)

51-30 over 300 yds 31-20 mwc 19-10 OOC (35-19 over 300 excluding Josh Allen)

61-60 all games 37-41 MWC
45-49 all games 26-36 MWC excluding Josh Allen

33% of all games were under 300 yards of offense

25% win rate (22.2% mwc) under 300 yards of offense

67.5% of under 300 yards of offense are conference games

Bohl struggled with teams that finished the season with winning records and mainly feasted on sub .500 teams. The #1 reason IMO why Wyoming didn’t compete for a MWC title was that the line up under center to avoid negative plays, ground and pound and avoid turnovers method lost a helluva lot more MWC games than the program should have with many of those games winnable simply because we struggled to get that needed 1st down to avoid the punt. Bohl asked a lot of his defense and had some good ones but I have to wonder if he complimented them with a more prolific offense what could have been.

His 9-4 final team in 2023:

2023 4-4 vs .500+
2023 5-0 vs sub .500

And now we are in 2026 (rejected by the traitors and left accepting the MWC standard pay with the remaining also rans) because we have not been a big MWC winner EVER. We are saying stuff like we might get to 6-6 with this schedule. In fairness to Bohl he was the best at winning MWC games and I am very grateful to have enjoyed the run. I am simply tired of being a MWC patsy that could never win the big conference games.

I think we tend to overlook Brian Hill and his contributions in 2016.

I think we tend to overlook Brian Hill and his contributions in 2016.

The RB position was a huge factor. When it was on the weaker side the offense struggled as in 2017 when even with Allen the offense was anemic due to a lack of a solid RB and very marginal receivers.

Overall the program had some very good RB production. For a primary rushing offense it was often 100 or more yards per game less than AFA while the passing game was almost the same as the AFA.

The biggest challenge was the inability to score needed points and when teams were strong enough to stack the box with extra defenders it was about a 75% loss rate. To me that was a red flag that should have been addressed. When Howdy Doody at AFA has his rushing game well tuned they tend to win a lot of games and during Bohl’s tenure AFA had 5 10+ win seasons and only 2 seasons under .500 in MWC play. That’s the level of success I desire to see at Wyoming.
