MW Schedule - Week 8
Air Force -4.5 @ Wyoming .... Friday on The CW
Hawaii -4.5 @ Huskies
San Jose St @ Nevada -6.5
ND State @ New Mexico -4.5

We are home dawgs again. We have a shot, hoping Hawaii guys throw up upon landing in Dekalb due to culture shock galore. Great fall weather expected unfortunately.

San Jose St as a road favorite against Nevada. The line indicates Nevada is at a similar level as us and UTEP. Line change NEV is -6.5

Loser of the AF/WYO game is eliminated for MW title for all practical purposes. If ND State loses they are gone as well. Two (2) losses and you are gone.

All games can be seen this weekend on either CW or MW plus.

Wyoming leads AF 21-14 with 8 minutes to go. AF has not fumbled all year, but has dropped it 3 times tonight and just dropped a TD pass.

Looking forward to watching a Huskie win in Dekalb this afternoon & then settling into the NM vs NDSU game tonight at 9 PM. That should be a great game & showcase for the Mountain West.

Air Force was down to alternating their 3rd and 4th QBs…….needless to say, it didn’t go well for the Falcons.

It's telling that there's no NIU vs Hawaii game thread started. Fans have pretty well checked out for this season.

I was waiting to post in the game thread that Dickens is listed as questionable on the injury report. Telly, too. Full report here:

Murray, Chambers, Jones, Bellamy and King are also questionable. Murray, Jones and Chambers started last week with Bellamy and King get plenty of playing times.

I mean I’d say it sucks to see guys out, and it does, but it’s not like the starters are killing it out here.

I think after a half season of sitting and watching maybe I’m OK with seeing if Davidson has grown at all if he is forced in to action. I’m over Macon. Let’s move on.

The other positions it sucks to see guys hurt, but the backups can be that much worse. Can they?

The problem is that Harley is not over Macon. There’s something in that relationship we’re not seeing. If Dickens can’t start, Macon will.

Eh, if our starters are this bad, imagine the backups. Somehow our freshman quarterback who hasn’t played is hurt, too? Lol. I actually wouldn’t mind seeing him get some snaps just for grins. But nobody other than Dickens is starter-worthy at qb.

Results

AF 14 WY 28
Hawaii 56 Huskies 21
San Jose St 14 Nevada 28
ND State 16 NM 21

NM is in the drivers seat as the only undefeated team in conference play. WY and UNLV both only have 1 loss are still in the hunt. We look really bad at home especially compared to the other lower rated teams in conference. I watched part of the NM/ND State game, what stuck out to me was the physical strength and athletic ability of the line play. We are so far removed from what I saw it is stunning. Again I'm no expert , but the S&C conditioning coach has to be questioned. The **** I see is not acceptable, most of our guys look overweight and not fit compared to NM/ND State. BTW, put Telley in that group too.

The NM-ND St game was good. Kudos for NM on 30,000+ in attendance.

Yes, you don’t need to be a football expert, just the eye test, to see how we stack up. This roster is so far from where it needs to be. It’s amazing. Going to be a few years before we are even competitive again.

2026 Football Standings

New Mexico 3-0
Wyoming 4-1
UNLV 2-1 .
NDSU 3-2
Air Force 3-2
San José State 2-2
Nevada 2-2
Hawai‘i 1-4
UTEP 0-3
NIU 0-3

I thought this was going to be a passing conference, but 4 of the top 5 teams are running teams and have running QBs. The bottom 4 of 5 are more pass oriented.
