byu game

I am a BYU fan... and I'm not trying to troll at all, just a quick comment to this post.

I would feel very bad if you quit supporting Wyoming because of a blow out to BYU. Your team is not that bad... they played well against Air Force and I think they're generally on the rise as a program.

Yes, BYU has had a bad start. The game against USU was particularly ugly... but they were totally gunning for us. Other than that, we've only lost to ranked opponents. Our team is really young right now, we've improved a lot and are continually improving every week.

Our record doesn't show the talent we have, and I think we'll continue to improve every week. The win against SDSU and the way our defense played against TCU proved that. Our offense looked bad against TCU, but they're the number 1 defense in the country.

Bottom line, I hope you keep supporting your team no matter what. BYU is a better team than their record shows, and they are very capable of having a breakout game. We're playing at home this week, having more confidence than before. If our breakout game comes against you this Saturday, don't worry, you've still got a team on the rise.

Here's to hoping that you guys have a great season, and... since we're leaving the conference, good luck with everything.

My point has much less to do with the quality of BYU than it does to the heart of this WYO team. BYU is the better and more talented team, that part is certain. However this is also the worst BYU team arguably of the past decade at least. There is no excuse for Wyoming to come out and roll over, like they have so often against BYU this decade, where it appears to the casual WYO fan that we are not even trying to win the game.

If WYO comes out with heart (and they should considering this is our last and best chance for a win in Provo), this is a winnable game. No excuse to not show up and compete.

The only things that worry me are that we don't seem to have any offense or defense, being as we are 120th in total offense and 117th in total defense. Out of 120...those seem like telling stats to me...

Bingo.... the problem I have with predicting a WYO victory is that I have a hard time finding anything we do well. We don't run the ball well, pass the ball well, block well, stop the run well, stop the pass well, tackle well...

Punting has been lights out - just not the coverage :brick:

Good luck with this Saturday and the rest of the season. I really do wish you the best... I was in no way trying to throw a hate post on your board.

Our waterboy is better than your waterboy, even though yours is older.

I just picked Wyoming to win on Poke Pride. Like I said on Poke Pride it may not be high scoring but a win is a win 18-10.


GO POKES!!!

I like that number...18.

Field Goal, TD, Extra Point, TD, Missed Extra Point, Safety.

The final score will be 6-5. Ian Watts will get the PAT blocked and it will be run back. Their kicker will make a FG. We escape with a W.

I like your prediction Nellie. How about a 6-4 scenario? Wyoming scores a touchdown and goes for the extra point. The attempt is blocked/intercepted, and BYU runs it back ALMOST all the way to the other goal line. BYU fumbles the ball around the 3 yard line. Alexander picks the ball up, but decides to try his usual juke and backtracks into the end zone in an attempt to find a running lane. He gets tackled in the end zone. BYU scores 1 point.
