Jeremy and Matt are back to recap the unexpected result of the 2021 Mountain West football title game which saw Utah State win 46-13 over San Diego State. There is a lot that went on in that game including San Diego State having 20 players -- majority reserves -- out due to COVID-19 and/or contact tracing. The Aggies played arguably their best game and the Aztecs did not which led to the blowout result.

Everything basically went right for Utah State and their gameplan and specifically on offense going downfield in the passing game. The Aztecs uncharacteristically had special teams issues.

They also give a first look at the eight Mountain West bowl games.

Jeremy and Matt are back to talk about the craziness that is the first few days of the "offseason" in college football. Fresno State's Kalen DeBoer is off to Washington as very well could be QB Jake Haener. The portal in general is on fire with a lot of movement already happening. One of the biggest news items was that Hawaii players hosted a Twitter Spaces and basically called out the program and specifically head coach Todd Graham. We only listened to snippets so there is a lot we missed but safe to say, players aren't happy.

We also discussed Colorado State's Steve Addazio but he has since been reportedly let go hours after this recording.

Jeremy goes solo to recap the Week 13 of Mountain West play that had a lot of blowouts and the end result for the championship game is San Diego State hosting Utah State on Saturday afternoon.

The biggest story of the weekend was Colorado State's Steve Addazio getting ejected in the first half of a blowout loss against Nevada. This brings up a lot more questions about if Addazio should remain as the Rams head coach.

Jeremy and Matt are back to preview the final full week of Mountain Wet football as we approach Week 13.

Games are spread out with Fresno State and San Jose State and Thanksgiving Day for the battle for the Valley Trophy. Friday has a triple header with Boise State traveling to San Diego State for a 9 a.m. local kick time in Carson, California, in what is the featured matchup of the day.

The Saturday games include Hawaii and Wyoming battling for the Paniolo Trophy, and the night game is Nevada at Colorado State.

Nearly every game is important and has a hand to play in the Mountain West championship game for who will represent each division.

Jeremy and Matt are back to recap the 12th week of Mountain West football which had quite a few interesting games. UNLV had ample opportunities to upset a ranked San Diego State team but could not get over the hump, but safe to say about the Rebels is that they are. on the up and up.

Air Force and Nevada had an epic comeback that went the Falcons way in overtime and eliminated the Wolf Plack from winning the West division.

Boise State just demolished a young New Mexico team with no quarterback. Then there was the shootout in Hawaii with the Warriors holding off Colorado State, 50-45.

Jeremy and Matt are back to preview the five conference games this week in Mountain West play and it all gets started on Friday night with an interesting Air Force vs. Nevada game. The loser is all but out of their respective division race as each have two losses. This is a game where the Wolf Pack must figure out how to stop the Falcons ground attack if they are going to win.

UNLV hosts San Diego State in a rare 8:30 p.m. PT kick off and this one likely will not be close. The same can be said for Boise State vs. New Mexico. The Lobos are still without quarterback Terry Wilson and that will cause some issues. Hawaii hosts Colorado State in an interesting game on the islands that could get weird.

Wyoming vs. Utah State has the potential to get out of hand if the Aggies offense continues to play like it has the past few weeks. The Cowboys defense is good but it will need to be really good to keep pace with the Aggies.

Jeremy and Matt are back to preview Week 11 of Mountain West football play. There are a few teams that are trying to become bowl eligible such as the winner between Boise State and Wyoming will get to six wins.

San Jose State is also looking to become bowl eligible and it might help that they have Nick Starkel back under center. He returned to action last week and he might be the reason the Spartans get to bowl eligibility when they face Utah State this weekend. Expect a lot of points in that game and for it to blow past the over that is at 57.5.

One of the other big games is Nevada going on the road to face San Diego State in a game that could shape the West Division. The Aztecs will be in the drivers seat if they get the win but if the Wolf Pack win it would create some chaos and for us to take a look at the tiebreaker situations.
