Does it feel like we have hit bottom? Being at the bottom sux but it is at least nice knowing that It can't get worse. Now, before I get accused of "sunshine pumping", please hear me when I say...this season has turned into a dumpster fire of epic proportions and I don't believe it's salvageable.
With that out of the way, I feel like there are not very many more ways to delude ourselves that we may be good...we are not. The task before us is to fix what is not working. After the first four games the red flags were all there but it was hard to feel too terrible with a zero in the loss column. Losses to a good AFA and Fresno where the defense played well definitely stung but you could say "if we get something from the QB position...maybe we can salvage this thing".
Which brings us to now. Back to back losses against middling conference foes that did not even feel very close. What is left to feel good about? I think, not very much. Here is what I'm hanging my hat on....
Is the offense turning this thing around??? In the loss to SJSU, Wyoming has its highest production by yardage of the season...with a new full-time starter under center. Now, it's obviously not setting the world on fire but maybe the new OC is getting somewhere...pitifully late ... but still.
No more illusions of who we are....I look at this as a chance to shake the etch-a-sketch. Throw the kitchen sink at the Rams. Pull out all the stops. Nothing has worked doing the traditional stuff so lets go out there and let it all hang out. Who knows if this is a message that Bohl will send to his staff and players but I hope it is.
Anyways...not much there to feel good about but the muscle I have developed over many disappointing Wyoming sports seasons is trying to find something to hang on to.
