That is my explanation for the bizarre losses this season.

I think with three weeks to prep and get rested and healthy the cowboys give a much better showing on defense.

Early in the season they had a very reasonable defense and against top opponents we played up to there level of competition.

The common factor of all the teams that gashed Wyoming on defense was a mobile quarterback. Hill was going to be a problem for Wyoming and I feel good knowing that he won't be under center for the cougars.

Against pro style teams we held our own. I see these games being similar to the San Diego state games Wyoming played recently and I anticipate a close game.
