That kind of change in scheme results in lots of turnovers in its first year-- ask SMU.<br /><br />UNLV is my most intriguing team of the MWC this year, maybe joined by New Mexico. The Rebels are deeper than they've been in a long time, and have some stars in the making at WR, OL, QB, DL, and the new kid at corner is outstanding. Their schedule is tougher this year than last, but I think we'll see UNLV in a bowl this season. They're going to surprise.T.

Doubling or even tripling last season's conference win total is very possible. Plus, the problem with Wyoming the past 4 or 5 seasons has been QB play. The running game has been average to above average in that span, but the passing has been terrible. I think Christensen can change that, even in his first season.<br /><br />I would sell CSU too, but I'm not seeing UNLV as a team to buy. They were clearly only a hair better than San Diego State last season, and they haven't won a road conference game in 5 years.matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07863019168368782406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14955809.post-34073869720790081382009-05-26T07:48:39.218-07:002009-05-26T07:48:39.218-07:00turnover margin and non-offensive TDs for Wyoming ...turnover margin and non-offensive TDs for Wyoming may swing back towards OK, but the Cowboys are installing a no-huddle pass-happy offense with a crew that's used to power running. And they weren't good at that, either.<br /><br />I think Wyoming is going to spend a year in the wilderness before becoming competitive.<br /><br />I'd sell CSU stock, too, as fast as possible this offseason, but buy UNLV.T.
