King Spartan Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Based on our schedule, I would say SJSU. I don't think we'll be toothless, but it's a tough schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT Record wise not so much as 8-4 (regular season record last year) is probably the floor for this year. Fresno has the second best odds to win the MW, they host the team with the #1 odds (Boise), don't play the #3 team (Air Force), probably get to avoid any very cold weather games as the last time they have to travel outside the state of California is 10/14 when they play at Utah State, and have a much easier OOC schedule than last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugtang Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Well we can’t get much worse so I’ll pick Nevada for taking a step forward. 3 Quote thelawlorfaithful, on 31 Dec 2012 - 04:01 AM, said:One of the rules I live by: never underestimate a man in a dandy looking sweater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

utgrizfan Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 I think Wyoming takes a step back, as mentioned in the article their OOC is pretty rough with Texas Tech, Texas and App State. In their MWC slate they could/should be able to get wins vs Nevada, New Mexico and Hawaii but will depend on how much those teams have improved.

Played the lesser talented QB because he was more of a team player. After the big departures to CSU he felt he owed the guys that stuck around & played them a lot so the youngsters didn't get much playing time. Questionable decision IMO if you're trying to rebuild a program. OTH, he brought in a lot of Pac 12 transfers to cover weak spots so almost every position is upgraded. The major problem will most likely be the OL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
