Mountain West Wire

Jeremy and Matt are back to go over the first full week of Mountain West play and go over all of the games with the good and the bad. There were a few FCS upsets and none more shocking than Colorado State losing to South Dakota State. Despite UNLV's loss, there is potential and the same goes with Fresno State that couldn't overcome its early deficit to Oregon.

The rest of the weekend was up for some teams like Nevada who beat Cal or down like Boise State who gave up a three touchdown lead and lose their game.

Jeremy and Matt are back to recap Week 0 which featured three games in the Mountain West, plus we get into the early Week 1 games that are Thursday and Friday.

In the openers, we go over what we liked in Fresno State's 45-0 victory over UConn as it showed the defense and offensive line are doing well, even if against a bad team. Hawaii looked lackluster and had the same problems as last year in its 44-10 loss to UCLA, then San Jose State seemingly found every receiver open in its easy win over Southern Utah.

Week 1 of the early game is mostly FCS matchups but the big one is Boise State traveling to UCF in a much anticipated matchup of Group of 5 powers. Expect the game to feature a lot of points and really good quarterback play, but it might come down to what defense can make a stop.

Jeremy and Matt are back to preview their final Mountain West team in UNLV. The Rebels are coming off a tough 0-6 year under Marcus Arroyo's first season. This second year allowed him to have a standard spring and fall camp heading into 2021. There is some talent on this team with Charles Williams at running back, WR Kyle Williams, and LB Jacoby Windmon to name a few.

The defense brings nearly everyone back so that unit must get better, then there is the quarterback position that is still up in the air between Justin Rogers and Doug Brumfield.

Jeremy and Matt are back to preview the upcoming Hawaii football season. The Warriors have a slew of new coaches on the offensive side with some moving on to different jobs. The players on offense are led by QB Chevan Cordeiro, do-everything Calvin Turner and wide receiver Jared Smart. The running game needs improvement as does the deep-ball threats in this offense.e

The defense is going to be a strong unit as it brings back nearly every starter last year from a unit that could scheme with the best in the conference, so look for them to take a step forward.

Matt and Jeremy are back to take a look at the second year of the Danny Gonzales era which got off to a better than expected start during the pandemic-filled 2020 season. The Lobos were close in nearly every game and ended the season on a two-game winning streak. A lot of the 2021 season could be determined on if Kentucky transfer Terry Wilson is the answer at quarterback. Also, the defense is a concern but with Gonzales and Rocky Long being really good defensive coaches should see a better output this year.

Jeremy and Matt are back to preview the upcoming San Jose State season and the biggest question is can the Spartans be as good as last year or live up to the hype. Going undefeated again is hard but will SJSU take a fall?

A few positions that San Jose State needs to be sorted out are wide receiver since a few key players moved on, plus the running game needs to be more consistent. The defense should be as good if not better with players like Cade Hall, Tre Jenkins and others.
