MW Schedule - Week 7

NIU @ Wyoming -7.5
UNLV @ Air Force -1.5
Nevada @ ND State -14.5
San Jose St -7.5 @ UTEP
New Mexico -14.5 @ Hawaii

First full week of a full week of conference games. Surprised UNLV is only a small road favorite. They have very good D, a running QB who is not that good. Air Force could surprise at home with a win. ..... Look for Hawaii to have a good game at home against NM. Wyoming? 7.5 point favorite, it's always nice coming home after a road win. Wyoming does not have a good offense, we have a better QB. Should be a low scoring game and we will have a chance to win in the 4th. Have to make plays late!

Update - Air Force is now the favorite vs UNLV -1.5.

Air Force has back-to-back games of over 420 yards rushing.

Apparently their backup QB can run their offense just fine.

It's crazy the option run still works. I think they had 3 passes today yet UNLV couldn't stop them.

What's crazier is that AF may be the top team in the MWC. And even crazier yet...AF and NDSU are below NIU in team recruit talent. I know we scoff at that sometimes but still. All 2 star kids running roughshod over this conference.

I dont know about you guys , but Im already sick of the Mountain West, seeing the same 6 teams all the time gets old

Results:

WYO 41 HUSKIES 23
AF 41 UNLV 31
ND ST 31 NEV 17
SJ St 23 UTEP11
NM 21 HAW 10

Biggest surprised to me is AF putting 41 on the board against a good UNLV defense. Nevada competed on the road against a better ND St team and ran out of gas. The coaching staffs in this league are experienced and pretty good.

Nevada attempted a long FG and had the N. Dakota kick returner take it to the house. Very reminiscent of the Alabama-Auburn game.
