If you can't predict Dimel at a bar, then you'd have a hard time picking a whole number between 1 and 3.djm19 said:Wind, snow and cold on the docket for Friday. Partly cloudy, but cold and windy on Saturday.
Doesn't bode well for the Poke's offense. Advantage NM if it is a running type game due to weather. Places where we have speed (i.e. WR postion) is greatly affected by the elements.
I really wish we could establish a better running game. If I were NM, I would game plan exactly like Texas State. If so, NM will beat us guys. I am trying to be optimistic here, but I havent learned a dam thing about this team yet. More unpredictable than Dimel at a bar.

Cue ball in the hot pocket?
Partly cloudy, 50 degrees and 13 mph winds is shorts weather in Laramie. Should be a beautiful day for some Cowboy football.djm19 said:Wind, snow and cold on the docket for Friday. Partly cloudy, but cold and windy on Saturday.

AFA rushed for 346 yards against us. TSU, 256. Nebraska, 375. The only two teams we defended well, as far as their rushing games, were Idaho and Northern Colorado. Let me repeat that- Idaho. And Northern Colorado.djm19 said:Same observation I had with Air Force and Texas State goes for NM-
We are quick to blame the defense, but, IMO, the offense was the story of both AF and TSU games. Run heavy teams, when forced to pass or do something they are not accustomed to, have to change their game plan greatly.
Example: Air Force. Our offense scored in bunches and AF was screwed. They didnt have it in them to pass their way back into it.
Example: TSU. Our offense sucked. Allowing Texas State to dictate the tempo of the game and play their game.
So, I am not completely pissed at the D. The AF game and TSU game are opposites on what happens when our O plays at the caliber where they should. We took AF out of their element by being up scores...we didnt with TSU.
Which brings us to NM. NM isn't a passing team...at all. IF, we can get up by 14-21 points, I think our D is fine. However, if our offense sputters and plays like they did in the fist quarter vs Idaho, UNC and TSU, this could be a loss fellas.
basically, instead of strictly pinging the D... I feel the O is reponsible for the situation our D may or may not be in.
How is NM D by the way? I see stats but havent watched them at all.

Our rush defense sucks. We beat AFA by outscoring them, not by outplaying them.[/quote]
I'm sure most people would come to that conclusion after a 32 point victory. :roll:

I don't think that UNM does the chop/cut blocks that Air Force does (can never remember which, but you know what I mean), and so long as they play like they did against Idaho, Northern Colorado, and even Nebraska where they swarm the ball carrier and wrap them up to bring them down, they should do alright. UNM will get yards, but so long as the wrap-up defense shows up, they should bend but certainly not break.kansasCowboy said:WYCowboy said:Wyoming's rushing defense is rated 114 out of 124 nationally.

Do you realize our rush D was as bad, if not worse when we played at UNM last year? We've got more playmakers this year. The numbers may not show it, but our D front is way more athletic this year. And yes Carrier has pro potential, but we played him last year as well. You don't think our guys remember him?
