2009 Wyoming Cowboys NCAA Football Predictions - July 28, 2009

The Wyoming Cowboys are heading into the 2009 season off their second straight losing campaign, as the Cowboys went won went 4-8 last year, and finished up tied for last in the Mountain West Conference at 1-7. This year the Cowboys have a 16 starters back, but will have to get use to new head coach Dave Christensen. The offense for the Cowboys was pretty bad in 2008, as this unit managed to score just 10.8 points per game in conference play. The Cowboys seemed set on letting Chris Stutzriem be the...

2009 New Mexico Lobos NCAA Football Predictions - July 28, 2009

The New Mexico Lobos finished up the 2008 season at just 4-8 overall and were only 2-6 in Mountain West Conference play. It was the first time the Lobos finished with a losing record in conference play since they went 3-4 back in 2000. Heading into the 2009 season the Lobos will have a much different look to them, as long time head coach Rocky Long is no longer with the team. In comes new head coach Mike Locksley who will try and lead the Lobos to a winning year with just 9 starters back from last...

2009 Air Force Falcons NCAA Football Predictions - July 28, 2009

The Air Force Falcons struggled down the stretch in 2008, as they dropped their final three games of the season, including a 28-34 loss to Houston in the Air Forces Bowl. Thanks to a strong start the Falcons still finished up the season at 8-5 overall and 5-3 in Mountain West Conference play. This year the Falcons return 12 starters and head coach Troy Calhoun is hoping to once again take this team to another postseason appearance. On offense the Falcons will rely heavily on the arm and legs of quarterback...

2009 San Diego State Aztecs NCAA Football Predictions - July 28, 2009

The San Diego State Aztecs really struggled to get it going in 2008, as they finished the regular season up at 2-8 and were able to win just one game in Mountain West Conference play. There is hope that the Aztecs will have a much better season in 2009. The lone conference win for the Aztecs in 2008 came in the final game of the year against UNLV, and with 15 starters back and new head coach Brady Hoke running the show, the Aztecs figure to be much more competitive this season. On offense the Aztecs...

2009 Colorado State Rams NCAA Football Predictions - July 28, 2009

Last year the Colorado State Rams surprised some teams after finishing up the season at 4-4 in the Mountain West Conference, and then topped of their season with a win over Fresno State in the New Mexico Bowl to push their final record to 7-6. This year the Rams bring back just 12 starters, but there are plenty that think second year coach Steve Fairchild can lead this team to another postseason appearance. The Rams will have to find a way to replace their top quarterback and the 2008 MWC leading...

2009 UNLV Rebels NCAA Football Predictions - July 24, 2009

The UNLV Rebels just missed out on their first postseason appearance since 2000 last year, as they finished up the regular season at 5-7. While the Rebels played well in non-conference action going 3-1 with a win over No.15 Arizona State early in the season, they were pretty bad in MWC play posting a weak 2-6 record in conference play. This year the Rebels bring back 14 starters under head coach Mike Sanford, and while they might not be able to jump to the top of the MWC this could be the year the...

2009 TCU Horned Frogs NCAA Football Predictions - July 24, 2009

The TCU Horned Frogs put together another solid season in 2008, as they finished 2nd in MWC play at 7-1, and were equally impressive in non-conference play, as they finished the regular season 10-2. The Cougars added yet another win to the books, as they squeaked by Boise State 17-16 in the Poinsettia Bowl. This year the Horned Frogs will have to find a way to win with just 11 starters back from last season, but for a team that not had a losing season since 2004, I think its safe to say that head...

2009 BYU Cougars NCAA Football Predictions - July 24, 2009

While the 2008 season wasn’t exactly what BYU Cougar fans had in mind heading into the season, it was still a very successful season, as the Cougars finished up the regular season 10-2 and finished third in the MWC at 6-2. The Cougars were awarded a trip to the Las Vegas Bowl for the fourth straight season, but failed to come away with a win against the Arizona Wildcats. This year the Cougars have 12 returning starters back, but once again this team figures to be right there for the MWC title...

2009 Utah Utes NCAA Football Predictions - July 24, 2009

It was a season to remember for the Utah Utes in 2008, as the Utes surprised a lot of people with their amazing run last season. The Utes not only finished the MWC play undefeated at 8-0, they capped off a perfect season with an impressive win in the Sugar Bowl against Alabama, and wound up finishing the season ranked 2nd in the nation. This year the Utes figure to once again be headed for another bowl game, but there is a bit of a drop off expected with just 11 starters back for the 2009 season. On...
