The oddsmaker has set this total too short. Wyoming is going to get its share of points behind Josh Allen, one of the best quarterbacks in the country. Allen lost some talent around him, but Wyoming’s offensive system is in place and Allen has the needed mobility and arm to put up points on a Hawkeyes defense that is tough up front, but inexperienced in the secondary and will be minus suspended cornerback Manny Rugamba.
C.J. Beathard has moved to the pros, but the Hawkeyes don’t need an ace triggerman against Wyoming with their tremendous rushing attack. Akrum Wadley and James Butler are both excellent runners and they have the advantage of rushing behing one of the top offensive lines in the country. Iowa’s offensive line easily will handle Wyoming’s rush defense, which is far worse than its secondary, at the point of attack. The Cowboys gave up an average of 42.5 points on the road last season.
I’m off to a 4-0 start in college football and am 24-11-1 going back to last season on my last 36 premium college football plays.
