BOL to ya Thor, really like the Louey and Wyoming plays. I've been on BYU all season long but that Pokes D is pretty damned good and I've been leaning toward them so I decided on a no play!

Something for ya to consider though:
Wyoming injuries.....

John Fletcher LB Questionable Week 11 (infection)
no stats on this guy, unless they mean John Flora who has 43 tackles in 11 games, 9.5 for loss of -40yards.

Michael Ray S Questionable Week 11 (hamstring)
11 games - 2 tackles
Aaron Robbins DE Questionable Week 11 (knee)
3 games - 5 tackles

Mike Groover DE Probable Week 11 (abdomen)
11 games 24 tackles


Hammer 'em big time bro:thumbs:

Ought to be one helluva game Thor.....here's the preview from the Pokes web site, there's lots to play for on both sides......:

The two teams at the top of the Mountain West Conference standings will face one another this Thursday when the Wyoming Cowboys (4-2 in the MWC) travel to Provo, Utah, to face the Brigham Young Cougars (5-0 in the MWC). The game is scheduled to kick off at 6:00 p.m., Mountain Time.
Wyoming's four conference wins have come over Utah (31-15), New Mexico (14-10), Colorado State (24-0) and San Diego State (27-24), while its two losses have been to Air Force (24-31) and TCU (3-26). BYU has defeated five MWC opponents Air Force (33-14), Colorado State (24-3), UNLV (52-7), San Diego State (47-17) and TCU (31-17).
Thursday's matchup between the Cowboys and Cougars will also pit the league's No. 1 defensive team, the Wyoming Cowboys, versus the MWC's No. 1 offense, the BYU Cougars.
Here is a comparison of Wyoming's and BYU's defensive and offensive prowess thus far this season.

Wyoming's Defensive Rankings - Season Averages, MWC Rank, NCAA Rank

Total Defense - 248.0 yards allowed per game, No. 1, No. 8
Passing Defense - 140.1 yards allowed per game, No. 1, No. 4
Pass Defense Efficiency - 95.5 rating, No. 1, No. 6
Sacks By - 26 total sacks, No. 1, No. 26
Rushing Defense - 107.9 yards allowed per game, No. 3, No. 32
Scoring Defense - 18.3 points per game, No. 3, No. 34

Brigham Young's Offensive Rankings - Season Averages, MWC Rank, NCAA Rank

Total Offense - 440.8 yards per game, No. 1, No. 7
Passing Offense - 297.7 yards per game, No. 1, No. 4
Pass Efficiency - 167.7 rating, No. 1, No. 5
Sacks Allowed - 61 total sacks, No. 3, No. 24
Rushing Offense - 143.1 yards per game, No. 3, No. 52
Scoring Offense - 34.4 points per game, No. 1, No. 11

Not only do the Wyoming Cowboys and BYU Cougars currently sit atop the Mountain West Conference standings, but they have been the hottest two teams in the past month of the season. The Wyoming Cowboys have won four out their last five games. BYU has won its last six games in a row.

Thor, I saw in your thread last week you were going through with your good friend how you decide what games to play and how you cap them. If you have it typed out in any sort of word document I'd love to look over it and see what you use. Always looking to get more info and better myself, and you're one of my favorite posters to read here so I figured I'd give er a shot and ask.


Thanks in advance for anything you can do:gulp:

[Thor24]

Thanks..NittanyLions..Hope ya had a Good Saturday...

Here is What I Do..1st of All My Friend was In Over Last Weekend Before He Starts to Travel and I Showed Him How Long it takes to Go Over the Games..I Printout the Sagarin Rating of College Football Teams and Use That..Take Home Team Rating and Add Points of Home Field Advantage then Subtract Vistors Team..Get Point Difference from That..(On Paper that is One Way Shows the Points a Team should Win By..Stat Wise)..Also Go the USAToday at College Football Matchups or Covers Matchups and Look at Teams Compared..Their Matchup...Past Results..Games Played this Year..Stats..Injuries..Ect...Also use Phil Steele Book as a Reference..More on Looking at Past Stats Since it is Based on One Person Thoughts on how a Team will Play Before Season Starts..So Just more as a Reference..Also Look at Preview of Game on Yahoo Sports to Find any Info about Team or Players and then also on USAToady under College Football Team Pages and Looks at Each Team..Inside Slant to get Some Info..Mainly Just Break that Down and Look at Trends..Playing Well at Home vs Road..Have a Sire that Shows the ATS Records of Teams..Total..Home and Away..ATS Home vs Road and Come Up with Plays from That..See Team that are on a Roll and Teams Playing Bad Last Few Weeks..Matchups of Running Team Playing Team Poor vs Run or Visa Versa..Print Out Page Showing Ranking of Teams Total O..Rush O..Pass O...Same on the D Side of Ball and How They Match Up (Love a Good Passing Team vs Team Ranked Low vs Pass..Ect..)Also Look at Other Things But that is What I Do...Most of Time Just Flipping a Coin will do Just as Good..Anyway Hope that Helped..GL to Ya..!!

[NittanyLions94]

Thanks a bunch Thor, appriciate the time you take for all of us :thumbs:

[Thor24]

NittanyLions..Thanks..Hope it was Some Help if Any..That is Why I Take Time..I'm Not the Best Guy Here..Nor even Close to Top in College or Pro Football..I Do Better in Hoops..At Least Most of the Time..But I Forgot One other Thing..I Like Looking at the Games and Breaking it Down as a Coach Would Break a Game Down...(Alot Here All Really Know I'm Old Coaches Son and have Rode More Buses than I can Count)..Those were Great Times..There is Not ONE Thing Better Than Watching a Football Game from Sideline Beside your Dad Listening to His Play Calling...I Remember Once Back in Early 70's Dad and I Saw Johnny U from Colts hit a Flea-Flicker Pass for TD on a Sunday Game and I made Him Put it Into the High School Teams Offense the Next Day and Call/Name the Play He Named After My Name..That was Great for a 9 Year Old....LOL..Really Wish ya the Best...BOL..:cool:
