Wyoming plays TCU and Utah next making this game against an over achieving Toledo team a MUST WIN! Now that does not mean they will win, but Toledo can over look this game as they are off to a 3-1 start and that will be a mistake. Wyoming is playing good football I mean they have had to face an average ranked #12 defense. Toledo is weak in the secondary and I think QB Samuels can have a good day. He's got 68.2% pass efficiency despite throwing just 4TD and 4INT he has faced some of the best secondaries in the nation including Air Force, Texas and Boise State.
On defense Wyoming held Airforce team averaging 41.3 ppg to only 20 points and they led 14-7 through 3 quarters. Toledo will have their home opener spoiled. Despite getting by with victories on the road against PUrdue and two MAC teams Toledo has turned the ball over 8 times luckily they have taken the ball 12 times, but not in this game. Wyoming is a tough bunch and I feel they get this game after facing a tough schedule to start the year.
Memphis beat a solid Middle Tenn team and took UTEP to the wire on the road looking like a much better team the past two weeks. LB Jarmon Huges and the front defensive line have looked really good. This team is hard hitting and a very physical team that is going to give Tulsa some issues playing at home. They are coached by Larry Porter and several other coaches with SEC background giving them a physical and passionate team full of energy. The last two games has seen their defense hold two top 40 offensive teams to under 30 points. They held UTEP who had been averaging 496 yards to 288 yards and that counts their 95 yard drive late. Memphis is also top 25 in interceptions and Kinne is prone to that kind of mistake with 5 interceptions in the two losses. I just think Memphis will have a good game on offense facing a defense that ranked last in pass defense and their offense is ranked #5 but Tulsa has only faced a 104th ranked defense on average. Memphis may be the best defense they face.
