Cowboys Must Turn Time of Possession Into Points

I'm more or less an old school football fan. I really don't mind grind it out, kick field goals and play defense teams. In fact, I love them. This is one of the reason's why I'm excited to see the Wyoming Cowboys take on the persona of a hard working, blue-collar Wyoming fan base.

The Wyoming football program is in the midst of a cultural and philosophical change, moving from pro-spread to power. The cheerful fiddle of Christensen finesse is being replaced by the bassoon and kick drum of coach Craig Bohl 's Nebraska power style offense.

Good bye yards after catch, say hello (hopefully) to 3rd and 1.

Last year, the Wyoming offense showed, well, that it was transitioning. The Pokes ranked first in the Mountain West in time of possession at over 32 minutes per game which was a nearly seven minute increase from the 2013 average, but also averaged only 21.5 points per game -- in the Mountain West, only Hawaii averaged less at 20.5 per. A major concern? Yes. The Pokes saw their 3rd down conversion rate drop from 2013s 44.44 percent to 39.43 percent in 2014. How could this be?
