Wyoming (3-1) at Texas State (2-1) Sept. 28, 7:00, Longhorn Network
Why You Should Give A Hoot: People have forgotten about Wyoming since it almost took out Nebraska in Lincoln. The Cowboys have won three straight games, averaging 44 points per game and ranking eighth in the nation in total offense. Wyoming quarterback Brett Smith has been remarkable, throwing for 1,315 yards, 13 touchdowns and just three interceptions this year.
Why Wyoming Might Win: The Cowboys offense is one of the best in the nation in almost all statistics. They are 21st in points, eighth in yards, 13th in passing yards and 29th in rushing yards. The defense has given up yards, but has kept teams off the scoreboard during the three-game streak, holding teams to 13 points per game.
Why Texas State Might Win: The Bobcats forced three interceptions last week against Texas Tech, which is good sign when facing a prolific passing attacks like Wyoming. Texas State also has the fourth-best rushing defense in the country which should make Wyoming much more one-dimensional on offense.
Who To Watch Out For: Wyoming quarterback Brett Smith is second in the nation, averaging 403.5 yards per game. His 13 passing touchdowns are the fourth most in the country and he is responsible for the fifth-most points. He will put up gaudy numbers again this week against the worst passing defense in FBS.
What Will Happen: Wyoming comes out throwing the football and jumps out to a big lead. Texas State will struggle to move the football and will be forced to go to the air, the weakest part of the offense. Brett Smith will add another rushing touchdown in this game in addition to his video-game-like passing numbers.
Prediction: Wyoming 40 … Texas State 23
Sounds right to me.
