So, is it the 3-4 or 4-3 defense? Either way, Knapton is just to small to be a DT, but the right size for a DE, and Korey Jones is good for blitz packages by hitting off the edge.
Pokes will need some boss hogs up front to stop UNLVs back Cornett who had some success against the Pokes last year.
It will be the multiple D-sets we have running all year as I understand. Knapton played some at DT in the multiple sets (i.e. when K. Jones was in on blitz packages), but he still played DE alot. I like him way better at DE though, I think playing Korey at LB should help with size and by putting someone in who isn't afraid to hit (Kind of weird to have a LBs that won't like to hit). He can probably get off the block better when compared wtih our other backers as well.
Also, Hauck is benching his starting QB and starting the JC transfer Sean Reilly.

You know, I'm liking these changes, especially since I have a feeling UNLV will try and do what Utah State did. Now we're essentially preparing for them doing exactly that. Hopefully it actually works, though.

I consider my self an optimist most of the time, but I really can't see Wyo going to a bowl game this year. I honestly do not think we can finish 4-3. The three undecided games are ALL on the road. Cowboy nation, gear up for another disappointment year. Frick.

If UNLV was smart they would run, run (just like usu did) then throw the short pass to the flat (just like usu did) because our defense sits back and gives them a guaranteed 8 yard gain anytime they want.
That's all they need to know to score at will.

I can't see Wyoming losing this game. There will be an added revenge factor from last years trouncing in Vegas.
Expect more "Drop to the FCS" threads if they do lose though. One minute everyone believes Wyoming has the potential to be in the Fiesta Bowl by 2014, the next we should just shut down all operations and call it an era. :roll:

Maybe if the game were in Vegas....but they have to travel up to Laramie. It will likely be in the mid-50's to high 40's as the game goes on. I know you guys can handle it, that doesn't mean the boys from Vegas can.McPeachy said:
Besides, CDC may have its faults, but he's not stupid. He realizes that a loss in this game almost seals his fate with Wyoming. Everyone can complain about past coaches like Koenning all they like....I've never heard of a Wyoming coach that lost to UNLV in two consecutive seasons. UNLV!!!!!

After what I saw on Saturday, I could see us losing every game here on out (including New Mexico). In fact, I half-expect to.

Saturday's game was not the norm. USU has never played that well and the Pokes had a bye week hangover. There is no way CSU would have come within 50 of USU the way they played on Saturday.
That being said, the Pokes aren't as bad as they played and the Aggies aren't as good. I still see us getting close to being bowl eligible. If we do, I wouldn't mind seeing USU again. That's right!

Actually, CDC seems as if he is sort of stupid. It may be his biggest fault. He may not want to lose two in a row to UNLV, but he just might not have the capacity to make sure it doesn't happen. We need the players to step up, execute and play their asses off regardless of the leadership. We could lose out and he wouldn't get fired this year. There are too many built in excuses, from new QB to new OC to injuries. He's got at least one more year. It's not like he pulled a Locksley!
