Colorado State vs. Weber State
Colorado State is considered a mid to bottom team in the Mountain West. Their biggest play maker from 2008 becomes the biggest hole to fill in 2009. Running back Gartrell Johnson, No. ten nationally in rushing yards, is gone. Rushing defense will be the weak spot on the other side of the ball. Ranked 102 in the nation last year and replacing six starters out of the front seven doesn’t fill me with confidence.
Weber State finished last season at 10-4 and made a trip to the FCS playoffs. The offense got them there and will likely get them there again. Quarterback Higgins threw for 4460 yards and 36 touchdowns. WR Tim Toone caught 1,525 yards of that with seven touchdowns. Don’t forget receivers Nakamura and Phillips who pulled in a combined 1,425 yards and 16 touchdowns. While the passing game was strong, the running game was right up there too. Trevyn Smith ran for 1,585 yards and 21 touchdowns. Smith also caught 62 passes for 778 yards coming out of the back field.
Wyoming vs. Weber State
Yeah I am calling for Weber to have a possible 2-0 record against the Mountain West. As I just mentioned the offense for Weber is pretty ridiculous. Unfortunately, I cant say the same for the defense. Only five starters are returning so they will be looking to some young guys to step up. But again the offense is just sick.
Wyoming on the other hand is replacing the backfield and is doing so at the same time as having a new coach who will bring in a new offense. With a new look offense things cant get any worse as Wyoming was 108 in total offense last season. The defense will be looking to remain the teams strength and may only have some questions in the middle at linebacker. The line and secondary return well in tact only having to find one new starter at each level.
