Keys to success:
Smith to continue to play like a senior.
Defense to stop the run.
Avoid Big Plays.
+2 turnover
What are your keys to the game for the pokes?

I'm struggling with this game. I look at our schedule and I hate to say this is a "Must Win," but to me it is.
If we want a bowl game, we have to have this one.
Bowling Green and USU on paper look like higher probability of W's. This season watching the highlights of these teams are bringing it down to 50/50 to me. These games could easily go the opponents' way.
I personally think every game (other than TCU, Boise State and Nebraska) are "winnable" if we play better each week.
PS- Robert Turbin, the RB for USU is a beast. Probably one of the best overall backs we will see this year. Our run D better start refining over the next month.

Agreed, both of those teams (especially USU) have outperformed UW to this point by a significant margin. We are 8.5 point dogs to BGSU and if we were playing USU right now the spread would likely be more than 2 TD's. I liked the improvement from Week 1 to Week 2 (opponent was weaker though), but it's going to take another major step to come away with the victory this week.
DC has been pretty good in these types of games in his tenure so far (@FAU and @TOL are similar games in my mind) so hopefully that continues.
We need to reach 7 wins for bowl eligibility and looking at the schedule it will be tough. Although we lost to both UNM and UNLV last year, to me those are our best opportunities for a W (both at home, both are struggling, and in UNM's case the coach will be dead man walking by that point). Then there is CSU, so that's a W (
). That puts us at 5. Where do we get two others? A lot of the other games are on the road (BGSU, USU, AFA, SDSU, BSU) and the other home games (TCU, Neb.) would seem to be a reach.Anyway, all that just to say that you are right, we need the BGSU and USU games if we want to go bowling.

This past decade Wyoming has faired pretty well on the road OOC, especially against lower conference opponents (wins @Ohio, @FAU, @Toledo, @USU, @UT, @Ole Miss, of course the should have wons in 2006 @UVA and @Syracuse. I may have forgotten one or two more.) I would argue on the road OOC has been the one semi-bright spot in an otherwise miserable decade.
Hopefully that trend continues, but BGSU is going to be a major test.

This has to be the most exciting game Wyoming fans have prepared for in awhile. I'm expecting a shoot out between two solid teams. Not a pillow fight between two barely FBS caliber teams, but a game worth watching! Not sure who wins, but I like both teams to score over 30 points.

Like I said, defense needs to make big stops.

We open as underdogs to a team that was 2-10 last year, that should fire up the 'Boys.
When I went to preregister for a BCSN.tv account and this is what I found:

This is quite disappointing to me since I can't access ESPN3. I thought I'd post this info in case there is anyone with further info available or an alternative to this service.
