I think Bohl will hold it close to the chest. I am hearing conflicting reports from non-media people even.
I realize Smith lacks experience, but dang, we can't be one dimensional vs USU. If Smith starts, don't be surprised if USU has 8 guys in the box and forces Smith to pass.

If I had a guess I'd say Cam's going to be out a couple weeks.

Smith looked much better against Boise....he could always run, but had some zip and accuracy on a couple of his passes. He is a less polished version of Josh Allen. Let's see what the kid can do.djm19 said:

USU didn't look very good against SDSU. But, they did force 7 or so turnovers in their win against Boise. Seems like an opportunistic team. I think the Pokes play them tough, but will allow a big play or make a stupid play that will cost them in the end.djm19 said:

That is a ridiculous spread against USU. USU does not have a prolific offense. The way this keeps up, Wyoming may end up 9-3 vs. the spread this year.

The past four games I have taken a whole new approach on this team. Trying to see them for what they are, and imagine what they can be. I am trying to temper expectations, but on the same hand, I am not going to sugarcoat when I see crap I think is lacking. I have not personally attacked our Kicker, but plain and simple, our kicking has sucked and we cannot rely on kicking game. That is fact, not opinion. I have been little disappointed in our D line. Just not near as dominant as I was expecting.
For being down 17-0 vs Boise State, I saw a lot of 3rd down and longs by BSU. Sure, they ended up getting the first down, but I was pleased with the effort. Some bad bad plays cost us multiple times. However, I can't say "If we had a play go this way, the result is different," because we are making these same bone-headed plays game after game.
Granderson, Wingard, DJ May, Epps and many others, I am seeing improvement each week.
What I am trying to say is we can't really compare the Boise State game to the USU game. I have several buddies who work in the USU athletic dept. and I am telling you, Matt Wells is a hot-headed dude. He will not let USU look past UW like Polian's guys did. The USU friends and family I have are writing us off for sure. Bosie did not look like a team doing their usual Boise State running up the score on teams. Maybe we were playing better than I thought, I don't know. But USU will not let up. I have listened to Matt Wells in person, from his own mouth, say "We will play the entire game." And he went on to say that the second string guys practice just as hard and deserve to score, etc as well.
I can see this game turning quickly if we can't score. And that scares me. USU D got dumptrucked by SDSU O line. Although I am seeing improvement with our O line, I don't know if we will control the line of scrimmage like SDSU did. I hope I am wrong.
As mentioned before, USU is a very opportunistic team. If we don't control the ball, we could get rolled.
lastly, the fact that I consider "covering the spread" is a win, is pretty depressing.

I'm not sure why you think this way. It's not like they took their starters out. So they didn't throw a ton of homerun balls, but would you after the performance Rypien turned in the previous week? We did a decent job of stuffing the run for the most part.J-Rod said:
