It doesn’t sound like I missed much of a game though. The Broncos
predictable won but from what I saw from the highlights the Jags gave them some
trouble in the 1st half. I knew the crazy point spread was going to
motivate them. Even though the Jags have been down this season you had to
believe their pride if nothing else was on the line and that they would give
the Broncos a challenge.
I’m sure Peyton Manning and the whole team couldn’t help
thinking about the matchup against the Colts this weekend in Indianapolis, I
know I was. But after watching the Colts horrible performance against a lousy
Chargers team last night now I wonder if the Jags probably gave the Broncos a
better game than the Colts will.
I’m looking forward to seeing how Von Miller plays. Since now he knows he’ll be suspended for a year
if he screws up again, I think he’ll be more than highly motivated to redeem
himself to the team this week.
I’d say the same for Manning, if you take away the Cowboys
once in a franchise offensive performance against him he’s breezed through these
first 6 games. I still believe it’ll be a win but it will be a stressful game for
him. Andrew Luck will be feeling it too
but since the expectation is the Broncos will run them off the field he may
rise up and surprise them. I doubt it though; the Colts D has some injuries to
key players so it’ll be a football miracle if they hang with Manning and
company.
I have to give some kudos to Knowshon Moreno again this week. If he continues to play as well as
he has for the remainder of the season, he has to be considered for the NFL
Comeback Player of Year award. Whoever that player was that couldn’t break a
single tackle or get the tough yards up the middle is dead and in his place a
warrior has emerged. We all know he can catch a pass but this power running
surge he’s been on this season is unbelievable. My hat is off to you Knowshon.
The Cowboys have had the Bronze Boot in Laramie the last 4 years. |
It’ll be an exciting weekend of football; the Wyoming
Cowboys will be playing Colorado State in the Border War for the Bronze Boot in
Laramie Saturday. Currently the Cowboys are place in 1st place in
the Mountain Division of the Mountain West Conference and 1 game up on Boise
State. The Rams are the only rival left in the conference. They’ve been playing
against each other since 1899 with CSU holding the series lead with 55 wins to
the Cowboys 44 with 5 ties.
Starting with CSU each game from here to the end of the
season will be a considerable test to see if they’re worthy of getting a respectable
postseason bowl seeding. CSU, then San Jose State, then they play Fresno State
Nov. 9th. If they pull out wins against
CSU then SJSU then the match up against Fresno becomes a very significant game.
FSU is currently leading the West Division in the Mountain West Conference with
a 5-0 record. If they can get a win against them then the biggest game of the
season becomes the Boise State game the following week.
The Cowboys have one of best running and passing QB’s in the
nation in Brett Smith and he should
be a leading All-America candidate in 2013. Smith is a Junior this year and
through 6 games he has a total of 2,247 yards of total offense and 18 TD’s.
Since starting as a true freshman at UW he has a career total of 8,691 yards of
total offense, with a total of 81 TD’s, 62 through the air and 19 on the
ground. He’s an amazing athlete and one of the best QB’s I’ve ever seen play at
UW. He also runs the hurry up offense as well as any QB in college football today.
Unfortunately for Smith he doesn’t play on the Cowboys
Defense. They’ve given up a lot of points and yards this season, especially
late in the 4th quarter of games. My hope is they can play the bend
not break type opportunist Defense they’ll need to for the them to achieve a
successful record the rest of the way.
It’s so difficult for me take the Cowboys games one at a
time like I do with the Broncos. Their program has been in a painfully long
slum and they are so due for some success and meanful bowl game.
GO BRONCOS! GO
COWBOYS!!
