That’s the $1.5 million dollar question that Sawful can’t answer.

This staff recruited Sims as the backup and never really intended to use him unless necessary. In desperation they decided that maybe he was an option. He looked promising in minimal opportunity. It’s over for this year and only time will tell. Maybe these coaches will make a serious assessment if they have on the roster the next man up that is a playmaker. Could it be Drube?

For the past 10 years all we can brag about in a QB that was more than severely one dimensional is Peasley who was benched by his coach at USU who went on to win the MWC with his replacement. At least we had a best Bohl 9 win season in Peasley year 2, but there wasn’t a serious challenge for the conference title.

I guarantee you that if Wyoming would have hired a Jason Eck instead of Sawful, the entire offense would have been reviewed. I just hope that Jovon is allowed to identify and recruit the offense playing the best players. We will then find out if he is the real deal as an OC or not.

Sticking with the same old same old new year same old story is not producing results and that is why I concur with “who wants to come to Wyoming with above average skills” when being surrounded with mediocrity would be an enjoyable experience buzz kill.

Can anybody answer that question?

Otherwise...got it...Wyoming is in the category of teams that are, in general, hindered by thier QB. Our coaches are not alone in this. It's not unusual for college coaches (even good ones) to struggle to find difference makers at that position. I could throw a dart into 20 random college football message boads and hit this same topic every year. Every fan base thinks they alone are missing out on the low hanging fruit in each recruiting class. Wyoming is not snakebit here...it's normal.

I think the the QB position and offensive system at Wyoming since Bohl got here has been largely stuck in neutral. Now, Bohl specifically was very good at a lot of other things that meant we were an ok team but that ability appears to be absent in Sawful.

We need to be honest about who we are. All of our wins are against teams with 2 or fewer wins (including Northern Iowa). We get zero pressure on the QB. Our OL often looks like they are practicing their Matador skills. The QB stares down his primary receiver and then throws it there whether he's open or not. Our run game is non existent against any team with a decent front 7.
Sadly, I suspect the coaching is not as bad as it appears. The talent on the field is just not very good. Having said that, I suspect if we had a competent head coach who could evaluate talent and get rid of the sloppy penalties and bone head mistakes, we'd have at least 1, if not 2 more wins this year.
Look at Fresno St - totally embarrassed against csewe and SDS. They come out and win today. New Mexico goes on the road and beats UNLV. We never go on the road and win against a team with a winning record. Hell, we hardly ever did it during Bohl's 10 years. This is very close to rock bottom. We have very little (I would argue nothing) to lose by getting rid of this entire staff and looking for new blood. Sadly, Burman won't do it. But this current team is nearly unwatchable.
To top it off, we have a field goal kicker who can't kick it 40 yards. There are probably female soccer players who can kick it further. How this guy got a spot on the roster is beyond my comprehension. I saw Sawvel yelling at him after his 50 yarder landed at the goal line. Sawvel better take a long look in the mirror because special teams have been a disaster all year and he seem completely surprised by every break down in execution.

If we lose out the rest of the season, finish 4-8, Burman had better shitcan Sawful.
