Wyoming vs Utah State Game Preview


Why Wyoming Will Win

Wyoming wants to get bowl eligible.

It has Hawaii coming into Laramie next week to make that happen if there’s a problem, but getting it done now would be nice to help pull up out of a flaming nosedive losing five of its last six games.

It starts with a defense that continues to keep things relatively close. There isn’t a big pass rush – or any – but the secondary is still great at keeping the big plays to a minimum with one of the best pass defenses in the Mountain West.

Utah State has to be patient.

Wyoming is beatable – again, scoring, especially on the road, isn’t a thing with this team – but it’s not going to be as easy as bang, bang, bang up 14-0 and coast.

The Utah State run defense will have a few tough moments, but it’ll get behind the line enough to make a difference. The offensive side will handle the rest.
