NIU

[PorkerPoke]

I hope this isn't the kiss of death but I'm goin with WYO 21-NIU 7. I think Hughes uses his legs and does well. NIU is bad.

Wyoming can make bad teams look awesome even in Laramie…

I’m not convinced we cover the spread. I say that hoping I look really bad for not thinking the soon to be 4-3 pokes won this game with ease.

2nd down was good protection. Tackle kept his guy to the outside and middle was blocked well. Hughes hops around a few times and gets nothing. Can’t see the field at all. Not saying someone was open but this is the norm

Worth mentioning that ESPN's FPI only ranks 8 total FBS teams worse than NIU and 11 worse than Wyoming.

I can guess Burman and Sawful both got some kind of merit bonus for this ranking.

We should throw no more than 5 passes this game

Hughes does have some wheels……

Nice scramble for a td by Hughes and it’s nice to score points. I just don’t think qb scrambles is a consistent way to win but maybe it is in this conference. I like QBs to get first downs with their legs but it’s be nice to follow it up with some nice passes

First TD in qtr 1 since at Hawaii in 2025.

Play action for big gain to a wr, please!!

 

[Itsux2beaewe]

It’s nice their recover cant catch a perfectly thrown ball.

This stat sucks………

True, but this year I’ll take TDs any way we get em. Need to keep targeting TEs when we do pass; it’s a pretty good group.

That is the only performance incentive they left in TB’s contract

Punt returns. Can we talk? Are we happy the way things are going?

looked like he was caught by the long snapper. Maybe that’s why Charlie is never open. Great run back still, gave us 3 pts

 

[BigO4WYO]

I guess I just had to say something lol

 

[phxpoke]

Everyone happy?

 

[BigO4WYO]

Yep. I’m glad we’re getting the ball to Richardson. Let’s send some more pressure on D.

 

[WyomingAgJ]

A lot of missed tackles by the d on that drive. Still a lot of game left hopefully they fix that on next drive

 

[laxwyo]

How was that not holding by the WR on that TD?

 

[PorkerPoke]

Good thing NIU makes a lot of mistakes because the Bohl boy has a soft defense.
