If I had to be vegas, I'd put Wyoming as about 7 to 8 point underdogs. As with any week for Wyo, and really any college football team for that matter, its all about which teams show up. Wyoming is MORE then capable of playing with Boise, and more then capable of losing to Utah State at home. It looks like this team could be a play to the level of the comp. team, which would indicate promise for week 3 I guess. I really dont know too much about the 2007 Boise St Broncos, so I'll limit my observations and predictions to Wyoming.
The one thing I see being the biggest key is QB pressure, both ways, but particularly Wyoming on Boise. Last year I think pressure on Sween = loss, while this year I think he is light years more capable of standing in the pocket and delivering accuarate throws, and converting on 3rd downs. Still, pressure on him greatly decreases our chances of winning, as he will likely need to contribute much more then the past two weeks come Saturday. Luckily I think our O-line is much better then last year, atleast so far. Playing in a hostel enviornment for the first time might be the factor that ends that, as they are quite young. Still pressure on Boise will be the biggest x factor. Something we really shined at last season, has been absent this year to date. Boise is simply to explosive to allow time to stand and dissect.
It should be a great game, and Im stoked. Ill just be finishing up my intermural softball tournament, and just be coming down from that drunk in time to crack the beer for game time! Prediction...........
Boise St. 21 Wyoming 20
BAC at kickoff...... 0.11
BAC after Wyoming's last minute drive ends in a missed 43 yard field goal.......... 0.38
