No games have been played, no practices, but I'm predicting

OK -- No practices have been held yet (not that anyone is allowed to watch more than warm-ups anyway...),

but I am going out on a limb and make some predictions.

Sat., Sept. 3 Weber State at Wyoming 7:00 p.m. MT WIN
Sat., Sept. 10 Texas State at Wyoming 4:00 p.m. MT WIN
Sat., Sept. 17 Wyoming at Bowling Green TBD TBD LOSS
Sat., Sept. 24 Nebraska at Wyoming 5:30 p.m. MT HD LOSS
Sat., Oct. 8 Wyoming at Utah State 6:00 p.m. MT TBD WIN
Sat., Oct. 15 UNLV at Wyoming* 12:00 p.m. MT WIN
Sat., Oct. 29 Wyoming at San Diego State* 7:00 p.m. PT LOSS
Sat., Nov. 5 TCU at Wyoming* 12:00 p.m. MT LOSS
Sat., Nov. 12 Wyoming at Air Force* 12:00 p.m. MT LOSS
Sat., Nov. 19 New Mexico at Wyoming* 12:00 p.m. MT WIN
Sat., Nov. 26 Wyoming at Boise State* 12:00 p.m. MT LOSS
Sat., Dec. 3 Wyoming at Colorado State* 12:00 p.m. MT WIN

My Prediction is 6-6. We may Pick off BG to go 7-5, but I think the game is a bit of a trap.
I think Smith and Pittser will rotate for the first 5 games and then a starter will emerge for the conference opener with UNLV. I predict it will be Pittser. His arm and accuracy will beat out Smith's heart and dedication.

What say you, Poke Nation?
 
Losing to Bowling Green would be a setback, IMO. That's a really bad team, and a really bad history of football, plus they've been debating if they should even have football. I think the Pokes can probably win that.

They can definitely win that game. That first road game is always rough though. Crazy to think WYO lost to them 45-16 in Laramie a few years back.

That was when our new OC was their coach. H ecoached with Urban Meyer, so this guy knows how to run the spread and throw the ball. It was an awesome hire.

That loss at home to Bowling Green in 2008 was the first time and only time ever Wyoming has lost at home to a team east of the Mississippi river.

I think the Bowling Green game this year will be the game that decides if we go to a bowl game or not. That game and the CSU game. I think we could go anywhere from 4-8 to 8-4.
 
The FCS games we win (we're not Ole Miss, KU, or VT).
Bowling Green should be a win for us, as the last time we played them, our OC now was their HC then. But it all depends on the O-line.
Nebraska, I want to be a win, but it will most likely be a loss. Depends on how both offenses play.
Utah State should be a win as well. But once again, it comes down to the O-line. However, it seems that the O-line is really being looked at as more of a run blocking then pass. And it was being shown they were getting better at it as the year wore on last year (especially with AA at the helm).
UNLV I think will be a win for us. Starting QB should be chosen and should be fairly comfortable by now. And both have great arms and can run really well.
SDSU could go either way. Games have been really close, and their 3-3-5 defense didn't do much good against us last year. Plus with implementing the power run into the offense, that'll make it easier (plus Lindly losing his two WRs).
TCU. They lose a ton, and depends on how well they have come together by this point. We have a good chance of losing, but I think it could be a close game.
Air Force. Like the SDSU game, it's been really close. But, I think Air Force wins with all they have coming back.
UNM. We should have never lost this game lat year. It'll be revenge. Win, big time like 2009.
BSU. Loss. We don't have the 2006 or 2007 defenses. 2012 we should have a chance though.
CSU. Border War. Could go either way, but given how badly we beat them last year, I going with a win.

That's 7 wins I have with 2 that could go either way, with a chance to upset either one, but more likely SDSU.
 
I think it is much more likely that we beat Bowling Green on the road than it is that we beat Utah State on the road. However, even the Bowing Green game isn't a for sure win. I don't think we match up with Utah State well at all, and I have a bad feeling their offense is going to explode on our defense. Unfortunately, I think the Utah State game will be a blowout in their favor...much like the UNLV game was last year.

We play Utah state the game after they play BYU correct? That could mean they will have a tough time getting up for the game against us, and we have a bi week to get ober the NU game. I agree that we don't necessarly match up well but the bi week should help a ton.

Plus with the caliber team we were last year we beat Toledo who was a bowl team last year. I think we beat BGSU this year.

I think we beat WSU, TSU, BGSU, USU, either SDSU or AFA (leaning more toward SDS w/ their loss of WR's and the way we stuffed Hillman last year), UNM, UNLV and I still think we keep the boot. Yeah, that's 8 wins. I think we are more than capable. But I won't be surprised if we lose to SDS or CSU. So I can still see 6-6 or 7-5.
 
Honestly I don't know how to read this team. We were pretty bad last year. Im guessing about a 5 win season but I wouldn't be surprised with anywhere from 3-8 wins
