Here is a write up Wyoming. something to chew on.

I read that earlier today. They will run the ball a lot on UND. I'm curious to see if they air it out more if they get a good lead. Their qb seemed to play better later in the season. Passing game is a bit suspect st best. Also...their receivers coach was apparently let go. It seems to go beyond players not progressing...don't think he was exactly supportive of Bohl.

Last year their secondary was slow, slow, slow. Be interesting to see if UND can throw on them. Yarborough is one bad ass D end...and they're better across the line this year too.

I look forward to it. Cheering UND against my other school. Go Sioux!

Then the next week I'll cheer the Pokes.

I have booked my room and just waiting to get tickets when they go on sale.

 

I wonder we will get pressure on their QB?

If their receivers aren't better than last year, they might. That QB was more accurate later in the year, but I'm not very confident in his arm strength.

That's just my perspective, and I don't get a great amount of info in Fort Collins. Plus, I'm no expert at all. I'd like to hear from WyoBisonman on this.

Careful what you wish for, looks like their backs all had good YPC. Anywhere from 4.5 to 6.

Not too bad for a team switching from spread to a West coast.

 

The brag at Wyoming is that they are two of the best backs in the Mountain West Conference.  We'll see if that's true.  I know their O-Line and RBs are improved over last  year...how much is the question.

Devil's advocate here: A lot of UND fans found it amusing that Craig Bohl left NDSU for FBS doormat Wyoming. Where then, would a Roughriders/Sundogs/Fighting Hawks win over the Cowboys be ranked in terms of North Dakota football lore?

Any win over a FBS is a great win for a FCS program.

It would be a great accomplishment for Bubba taking over a team from the bottom and rebuilding it. Beating Wyoming would be the first in a line of great wins by Bubba.

UND is 18.5 underdog to the Cowboys. No surprise there.....now to prove them wrong.

Heck, Massey has us as a 21 point dog to WY.    I'm calling this a loss, but no way should we lose by more than 14 and I'm really leaning towards 10 or less.   Massey does give us an 8% chance of winning this game.

This early they most likely are going by last year's stats. This game could be another San Diego St or Fresno St....down to the wire.

I just bought my tickets from stubhub. Decent seats for $46 / ticket.

 

I am really looking forward to seeing this one in person! Any other fans in Colorado plan on attending?

 

Unless the game is at 8 pm, I won't be able to make it.  Really hoping for a late start but that's unlikely since it's not a TV game.

Interesting I thought their single game ticket go on sale in August.  I called the ticket office a couple of weeks ago.  I plan on 6 or 7 coming from Williston.

 

They appear to be season tickets. I printed them and they show the name of the group and the account number that owns them. I first looked on the Wyoming website but found better deals on the secondary market.

Thanks, that is good to know.  Since it is Labor Day weekend some people probably have other plans and want to sell their tickets.
