War Memorial Stadium 12PM MT TV:
Radio: KALL 700 Sports or 1240 KFBC
This is an intriguing matchup, because last year Wyoming coach Joe Glenn made a comment at a luncheon where he said the Cowboys would take it to the Utes. Then word made its way west on interstate 80 to coach Whittingham, who took that to hear and blew out Wyoming 50-0 and did an on side kick with the Utes up big. Then Coach Glenn gave the middle finger salute to the Utes sideline, and it was caught on television, classy.
The Wyoming fans who are only maybe ten feet away from the field most certainly will have a nice gesture for the Utes. Those expected gestures will just be more interesting, because the last time the Utes played in Wyoming they were embarrassed in 2006.
This is the perfect game for Utah to finally play a complete game and show their dominance. The Utes need to dominate Wyoming, because of national perception hurts the MWC because of the national guys say oh you just beat Wyoming or insert your MWC team here. A win similar to what BYU pulled against Wyoming is what Utah needs to do to move up in the polls.
Wyoming has issues at quarterback, and as of today the quarterback looks to be Karsteen Sween again. So far this year the Pokes quarterback play has been terrible and teams have been bringing pressure to the quarterback and force him to make plays.
The results on that have been poor for Wyoming when pressure is applied. The only way the Pokes can stay close is that they have a decent running game, and unless that breaks out and then force the Utes to be honest on defense.
The Ute defense is way too good to allow Wyoming to get off and score points, but the Pokes hate the Utes so do not discount Wyoming getting on the board early.
The Ute offense will be too much with their running game in Darrel Mack and Matt Asiata who shuold be able to break through the solid Cowboy defense.
Final Score: Utah 38 Wyoming 13

Interesting. Writing to you from Raleigh, NC, I'm not very familiar with the Mtn West, and none of their games are on TV here this week, but interesting. Looking at your articles, I see you write a lot about the MW. I'll look for more of your articles.

thanks for that mark. games are a little harder to find. Versus and CBS college sports are pretty easy to get, but The Mtn. channel is only on directv and if you live outside of the schools area you have to get the sports pack.
