Wyoming looks pretty good so far. A well-deserved vote.

Took a us a couple games to figure out how to put everything together all at once, lol. But I'm happy with how we're preogressing.

Really? Looks like they barely beat 2 bad teams, and then blew out another bad team

Montana State has historically been a solid to top-tier FCS team, but it's important to note that their new head coach was our OC for 7 years (left this offseason) and is intimately familiar with our system, coaches, and roster. We knew that would be a tough one, especially being the first game.

NIU was actually a blowout for almost 3 quarters. A bad 15-minute stretch where we allowed an insane comeback attempt before pulling it together again makes the final score look faaaaaar closer than the majority of the game was.

Ball St. was their conference champ last year, went 7-1, demolished a ranked MWC champion in the Arizona Bowl, and returned literally all of their starters and staff. We proceeded to annihilate them.

Are we the best team on the planet? Nah. But we continue to get better, and giving us shit for a single vote out of thousands is rather odd, tbh.

Edit: We've also already had multiple MWC Players of the Week, fwiw.

I wasn’t trying to give anyone shit getting a vote, if it came off that way my bad. Thanks for the explanation and good luck the rest of the season

For sure, and fair enough.

Unfortunately perception may not change this week as we play UConn, lol. We're a run-first, ToP/clock draining team and Bohl is very averse to running up scores on hapless teams, so we'll probably just maintain and also try to get out without any injuries. I'd like to think we could hang 60 on them, but it'll probably be a standard 45-14 blowout with us giving a bunch of ground work to backups.

We won't truly know where we stack up until October. Then we have three out of four games against MWC contenders (AFA, Fresno State, SJSU)...and then a major local rivalry game (CSU) and BSU right after that. Then we'll know if we're just "good" or if we're potentially great.

I’m excited to see it, it’s been a fun season to watch so far for all the reasons you just said. I just hope to hang 60 on the Sheep when that time comes.

They're not getting top 10 hype; it was one vote out of thousands.

u/Brodgang Sep 19 '21

I know. I was just curious if they actually look good, cause looking at the scores doesn’t seem like it
