Five games into the season, some things start to become a little clearer about your team. This game highlighted exactly where Wyoming is at the moment.
First, the Cowboy defense can’t stop a good passing offense.
After struggling against Washington State and Missouri, Wyoming was beat through the air again. This time by Boise State. Brett Rypien went 28/42 for 342 yards and 2 TD’s. Meanwhile, Wyoming did a good job against the run, holding Alexander Mattison to 57 yards on 20 carries (2.8 yds/carry). However, if a team can throw for over 300 yards at a 67% completion percentage, stopping the running game isn’t enough.
