Wyoming Football Preview & Prediction: Week 3

Wyoming Cowboys will play the Air Force Falcons on Friday, September 16, 2022 at 6 p.m. MT at War Memorial Stadium in Laramie. The Falcons are undefeated with 2-0 record, but they are 0 for 3 against the Cowboys in the last 3 games.

The Falcons beat Colorado Buffalos 41-10 in their last game. The Pokes beat Northern Colorado Bears 33- 10 in the previous game and are looking to build on that. Wyoming has had some problems with turnovers recently. They have turned the ball over five times in two games. This game will show where each team is going to be headed moving forward.

Air Force has a triple option attack and has multiple weapons that can deliver the ball in different ways. Brad Roberts is the leading rusher in the Mountain West with 288 rushing yards and 4 touchdowns in two games. John Lee Eldridge and Haaziq Daniels are the other main threats. The Falcons have yet to score less than 40 points in a game. Their defense hasn't allowed more than 10 points a week.

Wyoming Cowboys play the Falcons in the season opener on Friday night. The Cowboys have won their first three games. Andrew Peasley has faced the Air Force twice before. Last season, Peasella passed for 190 yards and 3 touchdowns through the air for Utah State. He also completed 53% of his passes for 123 yards, 1 TD, and 2 INTs in a blowout loss. The Poke defense had trouble defending the Atlanta triple option last year. They allowed 211 yards on the ground, including 140 yards to returning RB Brad Roberts.

The Falcons and Cowboys are Mountain division rivals. This is the first game between them. The Falcons have won their first two games. Wyoming is a team that is having a down year. They are playing in their home stadium. It's always been a tough place for Air Force to play. I think the Falcons will be too much for the Pokes to handle.

This Friday night at 8 pm on CBSSN, I will discuss the latest episode of "This is Life with Lisa Ling".
