Brett Smith’s athletic prowess has been a boon for Wyoming’s spread offense, which could earn the QB all-freshman honors in the MWC.

Heading into bowl-bound Wyoming’s final game of the regular-season season at Colorado State, Smith is second in the Mountain West Conference with an average of 260 yards total offense per game. He has thrown for 2,304 yards and 16/6 with another 555 yards rushing with 10 TDs. Thanks in huge part to his efforts, the Cowboys have a shot at going 8-4 in the regular season after a 3-9 showing a year ago.

Last year Wyoming had a Harvin-esque weapon in Brandon Stewart who ran for 498 yards, caught 152 yards, and four total touchdowns.  This year the team has freshman running back Robert Herron who has already been the electric playmaker the Pokes have been looking for in their spread offense.

Having a hybrid type player is chic nowadays and it works.  Herron could be a name to watch next year as the offense continues to mature.

Wyoming running back Darius Terry left the team earlier this week. His loss coupled with the departure of Brandon Stewart earlier this year and knee injury to incoming freshman Nehemie Kankolongo has left the Cowboys' backfield awfully thin.

The Cowboys' still have Alvester Alexander, who led the team in rushing last season as a true freshman. But they will be in trouble if he goes down.

Versatile athlete Brandon Stewart has left the Wyoming football team.

The Cowboys definitely lose a real playmaker in Stewart who was dangerous out of the slot and the backfield.

Darius Terry ran for 99 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries in Saturday's debut of the Wyoming no-huddle offense under new head coach Dave Christensen.

Wyoming has been among the worst in offensive production in recent years but they managed to score 29 points in their opener - more than double their 2008 scoring average.  Don't be surprised to see Terry, wide receiver David Leonard and others reach the endzone for the Cowboys this season.

Wyoming tight ends Orlando Arnold and Jesson Salyards have cemented themselves as starters in new head coach Dave Christensen's Missouri-like offense.  

The pair of tight ends will often line up split out in the slot position.  Christensen had a history of producing top fantasy tight ends as offensive coordinator for Missouri, so Arnold and Salyards are interesting sleeper prospects.

Wyoming wide receivers Greg Bolling and Donate Morgan have been suspended for violatinmg unspecified team rules.

Bolling, who is projected to be the Cowboys' top receiver this season, will miss the first two games against Weber State and Texas. Morgan, a back-up, will miss the Weber State game.

Karsten Sween sits atop Wyoming's recently released depth chart at quarterback.

If he can hold onto the job, Sween is a definite dark horse sleeper candidate. He is not a draftable commodity, but in head coach Dave Christensen's offense he is one to keep an eye on once the season begins.

Wyoming quarterback Karsten Sween completed 16-of-34 passes for 154 yards with one touchdown and one interception Saturday in the Cowboys' final spring scrimmage.

Head coach Dave Christensen told reporters following the game that his staff will set a depth chart Monday afternoon, and indicated that Sween will be the top QB. Still, the Cowboys bring in two additional players under center in fall, adding to the three already in Laramie, which could make this a wide open race in the fall.

Wyoming's offense was held scoreless in drills on Tuesday and new head coach Dave Christensen was not happy about it. "I found the defense ready to go, and I found the offense pretty pathetic," Christensen said.

While Wyoming's new offense is intriguing, keep in mind they still have a long way to go in implementing their system. This is still a team that finished dead last in scoring in 2008.

Quarterback Karsten Sween led Wyoming's first team offense to three scores in Thursday's scrimmage. Sween completed 7-of-9 pass attempts for 72 yards and one TD.

Sween working with the first team is significant as former Missouri offensive coordinator Dave Christensen is now calling the shots for the Cowboys. Christensen's no-huddle attack makes Sween a sleeper candidate.

Wyoming coach Dave Christensen announced that sophomore quarterback Chris Stutzriem will transfer from the program.

Due to personal reasons Stutzriem, who saw pretty significant action (threw 98 passes) in 2008, will look to move closer to his Oklahoma home.

With former Missouri offensive coordinator Dave Christensen taking over as head coach at Wyoming, we'll be keeping tabs on the Cowboys quarterback battle this spring. Wyoming is set to kick off their spring practice on March 25.

Karsten Sween, Dax Crum and Chris Stutzriem rotated at quarterback last year. But redshirt freshman Adam Barry was the scout team hero. According to coaches he has a "cannon" for an arm, runs a 4.8 forty and played in a spread attack in high school. Incoming freshman Austyn Carta-Samuels and Robert Benjamin could also get in the mix this summer.

Sources say Wyoming will name Missouri offensive coordinator Dave Christensen as its new head coach.

The hire could have fantasy implications down the road as Christensen is sure to bring a similar style of offense to that run at Missouri.
Sun, Nov 30, 2008 08:30:00 PM

Wyoming athletic director Tom Burman announced Sunday that they have fired head coach Joe Glenn.

Glenn finished with a record of 30-41 in six seasons as the Cowboys' head coach.
