Wyoming Cowboys 2009 College Football Predictions, College Football Picks & College Football Odds: Coach Dave Christensen spent eight seasons running the Missouri offense and now he has his own team to work with. Implementing the new spread offense will not be easy, but Coach Christensen has a few pieces to work with. It will not happen overnight, but Wyoming’s awful offense that ranked last in the nation in points per game, could be a dynamic unit sooner or later. Odds makers at Sportsbook.com have college football predictions on the Wyoming Cowboys 50-1 odds to win the BSC 2010 National Championship.
The most pressing need was at quarterback and junior college transfer Robert Benjamin was a decent pickup. However, Karsten Sween won the job in the spring and should be the quarterback. Sween started in 2007, but struggled with his decision making. Time and experience should help in that regard and it has already begun to show during the spring. However, Sween needs some help from the rest of the offense. Receivers Greg Bolling, Brandon Stewart and David Leonard are back, as is tight end Jesson Salyards, so Sween should have plenty of options down field.
While the offense adjusts to the new system, the defense will have to carry this team. With eight starters returning, the prospects sound promising, but the Cowboys defense needs to replace a few key contributors. Linebackers Ward Dobbs and Mike Juergens will be difficult to replace and that will put a lot of pressure on players like Weston Johnson and Gabe Knapton to step up and be leaders.
Wyoming’s special teams certainly left something to be desired last year, but Christensen had bigger issues to deal with on offense, meaning a quick fix here isn’t likely. Kicker Jake Scott returns, but he’s just 7-of-12 in his career and has four misses from 31 yards or closer. Austin McCoy averaged just 37.9 yards per punt. Brandon Stewart should take over the return duties.
