I’ll start.
AFA 5-1 (3-1)
Only loss was in game 2 hosting NDSU 32-38
#1 in total offense 408.0 YPG
#3 in total defense 295.7 YPG
#2 in scoring offense 30.8 ppg
Wyoming 4-3 (3-1)
#8 in total offense 331.6 YPG
#5 in total defense 366.4 YPG
#7 in scoring offense 18.3
I predict that AFA will come into the game with a defensive game plan to keep a spy or two on Hughes and a variety of blitz packages designed to stuff the run and force Hughes to make quick accurate passes. The offense for AFA will be exactly what it always is with a few twists put in to force the Wyoming DC to not be certain exactly how to line up.
Wyoming will have to play nearly perfect assignment football on defense and find ways to exploit the AFA secondary to counter blitzes.
The weather may favor rushing over passing if showers and the wind hang around until the evening. The forecast calls for that earlier in the day but it’s another 4 days to game day and a few hours can make a difference. It will be chilly but not bad for a late October night game in Laramie if the elements are as forecasted.
While I would like to think the Wyoming program is coming together and is on a solid track I am not convinced our point scoring will keep up with the AFA attack. It could come down to turnovers being the big margin factor in the final score. The stats favor AFA in the TO category..
I predict Wyoming keeps AFA below average but struggles with scoring points. AFA 24-13.
I truly hope I am wrong due to my Sawfully tainted perspective because a victory to get to 5-3 (4-1) will help extinguish the flames of skepticism and induce a renewed excitement that once what was called Cowboy Fever!
