While Wyoming is one of the tougher teams in the Mountain West Conference, this should be another easy win for the Boise State Broncos. They need more than an easy win, though.
With their loss to TCU two weeks ago, the Broncos need to win big against the Wyoming Cowboys to try and secure the best chance at an at-large BCS bid.

BCS/Top 25 Implications
While Wyoming isn’t fighting for much other than pride, this game has serious implications for Boise State. If the Broncos can beat up on a Wyoming team who has a solid record in a fashion that shows their dominance, they can still qualify for serious BCS consideration.
What They’re Saying
Boise State coach Chris Petersen told the Idaho Statesman about Wyoming Cowboys true freshman quarterback Brett Smith:
"He’s in a perfect system. Their coaching staff has done a great job with him. He’s extremely impressive. He runs their offense to a T. He’s smart with the football. He’s a really good athlete. It’s extremely rare and very impressive (as a true freshman).
"
Key Matchup: Brett Smith vs. Broncos’ Secondary
We all know that Kellen Moore and the Boise State offense is going to destroy Wyoming’s defense, but the problem for the Broncos is that their defense is susceptible to big plays. If true freshman can prove all the hype surrounding his true and pick apart the terrible Boise State secondary, Wyoming could win this game.
Prediction: Boise State 49, Wyoming 35
