WYO

Wyoming is coming off consecutive losses to Boise State and Utah State its last two outings. Prior to that, it had won two-straight over New Mexico and Nevada. Wyoming has got it done with its defense, holding its opponents to just 18.7 points per game while averaging a respectable 26.9 itself, good for a point differential of +8.2 points. The Cowboys have a top rushing attack that averages 219.6 yards per game, placing it in the top-20 of rush offense. Its pass game is weak, though, amassing just 134.4 yards per game and ranking in the bottom-10 of FBS teams.

Wyoming features a dual-threat QB, but he is not much of a threat with his arm. Sean Chambers has completed just 43 percent of his passes this season for 915 yards, but he has rushed 90 times for 567 yards and a team-high 10 touchdowns. Lead running back Xaz Valladay has 180 attempts at 4.7 yards-per-attempt for 869 yards and five touchdowns.

Three others have topped 100 yards on the season, and Wyoming averages 4.9 yards-per-carry as a team. The top receiver has been Raghib Ismail Jr, who has 14 catches for 240 yards and two touchdowns. The Cowboys have six players with 120 yards or more on the season, but it has scored just eight receiving touchdowns on the year while having racked up 23 via the rush.

COL ST

Colorado State is 4-6 on the season and 3-3 in conference play. It had a three-game win streak snapped last week as it fell 21-38 to Air Force. The Rams are -2.0 on point differential this season, as it is giving up 32.6 points per game and not doing well on the defensive end. Its pass offense helps make up for it some (No. 12 at 315.4 yards per game), but Colorado State will likely conclude the season with a losing record, as its finale comes against AP Ranked Boise State.

The Rams have ridden the arm of one Patrick O’Brien: He has thrown for 2,297 yards with 10 TDs and four interceptions while having incurred 21 sacks and posting a passer rating or 142.7. O’Brien is horrible as a rush threat, with his 51 attempts resulting in negative-38 yards, though he has managed two rushing touchdowns. His top two targets have been Warren Jackson and Dante Wright. The duo has combined for almost 1.7k yards and 10 of the team’s 18 receiving touchdowns.
