Players focus

[BeachPoke]

I’ve played in my far share of sports, now that I’m over 60 I was think Saturday why is it so hard for the players to get jacked up in a game like Utah. My coaches use to prep us by saying if you can get emotional about playing a high caliber team you don’t belong on the field. These guys should have their hair on fire and defend the WAR, it is your home turf. I guess I’m just old school. Come with some energy and make a statement. If Kaden does not have the focus to prove he is better than every QB on the field each game he needs to get his head right. Maybe im looking at it from the wrong perspective.

You are not wrong but something that has plagued Wyoming Football over the years is only one side of the ball will come out and play well while the other seems flat or out of sync.

If the OL cannot figure it out then it will be a long season. People are calling on Johnson but I am calling out Tripodi for his OL play that has not been very good outside of Barnett.

Said every generation ever

It is different now. How many players do we have who played somewhere else first? How many are getting NIL? We are a long way past when a player came here as a freshman and knew he would be here for 4 years. Defending the War means absolutely nothing to a lot of these guys.
There is a reason why NIck Saban quit coaching. He has stated that he can't coach players in the era of the portal and NIL. UW and every other school is having to deal with these issues. Players are now for sale to the highest bidder. How many are playing hard to get a bigger check somewhere else is anyone's guess.
