CSU v WYO POKES

Break out the Pokey helmet!

Bronze Boot time!

These two teams seem to be mirroring each other this season and this contest looks to be a tight match up. Here are some things I want to be carried over from our Aggie win against the Warriors.

Create turnovers: One stat that jumps out and worries me about the Cowboys is their passing yards. They average 236 yards per game (which isn't much but...)  judging how horrific our dbs have played this season, Brett Smith can easily reach the 300 yard mark. We need to contain Chris McNeill. The dude has over 500 yards receiving so far this season and needs to be doubled up. We also need create some turnovers like we did against Hawaii to tally a win. Those pick 6's are fun to watch.

Run all over: The Wyo defense is nothing to be worried about. They flat out suck. If we can limit our butterfingers and have a dominant running game, we should be able to blow up War Memorial stadium. I'm enjoying the Nwoke/Morris combo. Both power backs with a little speed. Maybe throw Skelton in on the goal line again.

No on-side kicks when we have a 14 point lead: I get the nail in the coffin thing but I don't think we're quite there yet. Hawaii was right back into the game after this mistake took place but we pulled it out in the end.

Smith is the man: There is something about Conner Smith. He looks like he's supposed to be the directing this offense. Besides, he's got a cannon. Start him and we will make swiss cheese out of the Cowboy d.

Technically we are still in the race for a bowl birth. Realistically we have to win out to do so and I don't see us pulling off the upset of the century against Boise State. Let's stack up some wins. Let's get the Boot back to Fort Collins.

Go Rams.
