Weber vs WYO

Why was Snoy kicking off and FG's?...

Snoy was fantastic on kickoffs. I think he just won the job.

Williams has a shoulder injury. Not sure how it is affecting his kicking.

How does a kicker get a shoulder injury? And why would that prevent him from kicking? Got to love kickers. Wish football didn't need em, and that they could stick to soccer.

The refs did not run into the Wyoming punter, taunt a player on the ground, jump offsides, or throw FIVE interceptions.

We lost a winnable game defined by our own mistakes.

Whining is for losers and is unworthy of a championship pprogram.

you are correct, we lost a winnable game; however, you would hope that after EVERY big offensive play you would not be rewarded with a penalty flag, just my observation and my opinion. back to the drawing board, make the adjustments and prepare for CSU.

regarding the 5 interceptions, do you know if there is any credence to the statement that '...when WSU was on offense, ball boys were feeding new balls...' Higgins passes were not as crisp as they were on the walk throughs on friday, and looked like he could not grip the ball....just an observation.
 
Even though Weber's offense had some major issues in the second and the 3rd qrt, the defense shined, with 5 turnovers wyoming should have scored more than 29 points, our defense looks fast, and tough. I am satisfied with the Wildcats defense.

Look, I know half the folks who post to this board, and I love my fellow Wildcat fans!!!

Sorry, I just hate whining. It makes us look like weak losers. I prefer to think of myself, the program, our team and my fellow fans as a tough and strong winners, able to take on all comers in any circumstances, and worthy of a national championship.

With regard to Higgins, I noticed at the game, with a couple of other sideline quarterbacks, that Wyoming's defensive front seemed to be the tallest we have faced, and wondered along with my fellow football geniuses why we didn't let Cameron out of the pocket once in a while so he could see better. He certainly got plenty of time from the hogs up front, who are no longer a question mark for the season.
 
The O line looks really good for the rest of the season. It sounded like they were opening a few holes in the 4th for the run game. This bodes well for the rest of the season. If we could have played the whole game like we played the 4th qtr there would be NO whining. :oops:

The shoulder injury occurred in the gym lifting weights over the summer. Williams is a gym rat who benches more than 225 and leg presses more than 435.

The shoulder is necessary on punts and kickoffs, and perhaps occasionally on placekicks, for making tackles.

The shoulder opposite the kicking foot is important for balance on all kicks, especially kickoffs and placekicks.

Both Snoy and Williams are athletes first, kickers second. As a HS linebacker, Williams made more than 100 tackles. As a backup fullback, he scored in the ground and in the air, averaging more than 16 yards per carry on a team that went to the divisional finals and sent seven kids to college programs including five DI scholarships.

I loved the speed and heart demonstrated by our defense, forcing several punts and three FG attempts, and keeping us in the game until the end, despite the offensive turnovers. The D-line and secondary looked great! However, the confusion and inexperience of our linebacking corps was glaring through most of the game, as Mac acknowledged in the Big Sky weekly phone conference when he talked about our inability to "fill the gaps."

Yes! Thank goodness that any questions about the O-Line for 2009 appear to have been answered. Against one of the best defenses in the Mountain West, the Wildcat hogs provided ample protection for Cameron in the pocket, and seemed to have figured out run blocking over the course of the game. The Cowboy secondary did a pretty good job of hanging with our outstanding receivers, though.

Except for Colorado State this week and perhaps late in the FCS playoffs, I don't think we will face any defenses as good as Wyoming's. So as long as we reduce turnovers and mistakes, I think our offense will be dominant in the 'Sky.

thats what i love about these FBS games, all competition after wyo n csu is all down hill even if you lose them. but there's also a diff between having a chance to beat a FBS and getting beat 50-3 and having 37 total yds. we just need our team to build confidence. you wont face another defense that good. how can you be intimidated by montana when you already played 2 FBS games.

not to take anything away from montana...but still FBS compared to FCS.

Where has Baker been anyway?
 
I've got to agree with Native on this one... Weber's O-line was playing well, even the reserves looked good. What really killed the Cats were the interceptions, and the inability to run the ball for three and a half quarters. Weber had to get outside the tackles and stop trying to push the ball up the gut. Once the run game got going the passing game improved drastically. I have to admit that Cam tried to push it a couple of times, but no matter, he is still the man. If this was a bad game for him, I think, our opposition would hate to see him at his best: HINT, HINT, Cal Poly. I'd love to see Weber play error free on Sat.

Wyoming fans keep trying to say that this game was a blowout or was dominated from the kickoff, but we all know that Weber should have won this game, and that the game was never over. Wyoming did stop our running game for a time, but that was all they did well. No matter the refs, errors, or their defense Weber should have beaten them. This game is going to sting for a long time. The best way to get over a loss like this is to win the next one decisively.

I agree with you, our question mark is going to be the LB's; the line and secondary are getting better and stronger with each rep, the LB's need to get it together. Some of them look like 'deer in the headlights' and are not attacking the holes quick enough. there is no reason why a DT can outrun a linebacker side to side to make the play after busting a double team block at the line of scrimmage...no reason.

i hope and pray that CSU takes us lightly so that we can come in and put them behind the 8 ball early.

in the wyoming game, was it me or did it look like we couldn't stretch the secondary with any long passes? it seemed we were only going for screens and short passes, with nothing going long and enabling the secondary to 'cheat' up on us, just my observations.

GO WILDCATS!!!

It wasn't just you, but I think the reason is the quality of the defense we faced.

...and perhaps inexperienced play calling from youthful coaches?
