Mountain West Wire

Jeremy and Matt go extra long to discuss a full slate of six Mountain West games, including one non-conference game between San Diego State and BYU. They get into the tie breaking scenarios which are not super complicated and what it will take for San Jose State, Boise State, or Nevada to get to the title game.

San Jose State takes on Nevada in the Friday night game that is huge in deciding who gets one of the spots in the title game. The other game with title game interest is Boise State vs. Wyoming.

Then the rest are there for pride. Look for teams that are winless like UNLV or one-win teams like New Mexico or Utah State to try to be creative to get another win to end the season on a high note.

Jeremy and Matt are back to recap Week 14 of Mountain West play. There were some wild games that started on Thursday with Air Force getting some key players back in their win over Utah State.

Then a wild Saturday saw San Jose State's hot start help them hold off Hawaii's rally. San Diego State used special teams to get the win over Colorado State in which neither offense played all that great. Nevada beat Fresno State despite being behind in most statistics, but chalk this one up to the Bulldogs being down kickers, punters, and other key special team players.

New Mexico put up a big defensive effort to upset Wyoming and give Danny Gonzales his first ever FBS win and the Lobos first since Sept. of 2019.

Also, the two go over the tiebreaker scenarios within the Mountain West.

Jeremy and Matt are back to preview Week 14 of Mountain West football which includes one less game now that Boise State and UNLV has been canceled and under odd wording from the Mountain West and both schools. The first game is on Thursday with Utah State taking on Air Force and this will be the Falcons first game in a few weeks as they did not play last week.

The Saturday slate is full of four games and it starts with San Jose State now going to Hawaii to play its game due to restrictions in its own county, and this game should feature so many points and be an exciting matchup. San Diego State and Colorado State likely could be a low scoring game and be a defensive matchup.

Fresno State and Nevada could be the highest scoring game of the week and the Bulldogs are back in action for the first time in three weeks. The final game is Wyoming vs. New Mexico in Las Vegas and should be a fairly easy win for the Cowboys as they have the edge in nearly every position.

Jeremy and Matt are back to recap Week 13 of Mountain West football which featured a few cancellations, including the big game between San Jose State and Boise State. They go over Utah State's first win of the year which saw them have an offensive explosion over the Lobos. Speaking of New Mexico, head coach Danny Gonzales is not happy at all about his teams performance.

Wyoming coming off missing two games had an easy win behind the ground game which had no issues vs. UNLV in the win. San Diego State opted for a non-conference game vs. Colorado and came up short due to the offense not being able to move the ball on offense.

Hawaii vs. Nevada in the night cap saw the Warriors defensive coaches force the Wolf Pack away from what they like to do most in throwing the ball. The running game was there from the Wolf Pack but it was not enough as there were also penalty issues that really ended up hurting them as Hawaii knocked off an undefeated Nevada.

Jeremy and Matt are back to preview the Week 13 slate of games for the Mountain West. We recorded before it was announced that Air Force and Colorado State was canceled so you get a bonus preview this week.

The other game canceled is San Diego State vs. Fresno State.

The games we actually get to start with the winless New Mexico Lobos vs. the Utah State Aggies where someone has to win on Thanksgiving day. There will be a new starter under center for the Aggies which may or may not make the difference.

Wyoming and UNLV are back on the field in a game that might appear lopsided from the record but overall it may be fairly close.

The game of the weekend is San Jose State at Boise State with a fairly clear path for the title game by the winner, also this game is on regular old FOX.

The night cap could be an exciting one on the islands with Nevada bringing in its high-powered offense against Hawaii which if things go well could go point-for-point.

Jeremy and Matt are back to go over the three Mountain West football games from this past weekend as three games were canceled due to COVID-19. The first game of the week saw Air Force shut out New Mexico 28-0 in a game that the Lobos had so many chances to make this game a whole lot closer.

Nevada over San Diego State was the game of the weekend which saw the Wolf Pack top the Aztecs 26-21 in a classic game which came down to the final play of the weekend.

The final game was a 40-32 win by Boise State over Hawaii. This game was looking like a blowout until the Warriors defense made a fourth quarterback comeback that ultimately came up short.

Jeremy and Matt are back to look ahead to Week 12 of Mountain West football. There are two games that were canceled with Colorado State vs. UNLV and Wyoming vs. Utah State. They came due to COVID-19 issues from the Rebels and Aggies side.

As for the the games being played there will be some good ones. Air Force gets back on the field Friday night to take on New Mexico after two weeks off. The big question is if the Lobos can get their first win under new head coach Danny Gonzales.

Two of the three Saturday games could be really good. It starts with San Diego State taking on Nevada in a game that got moved to CBS and could determine one of the two spots for the Mountain West title game. An Aztecs loss likely takes them out of contention but a Wolf Pack loss will muddy the waters.

San Jose State vs. Fresno State has the same implication on the title game. The Spartans are looking to go 5-0 as they take on its rival Bulldogs with the Valley Trophy on the line.

The night cap is Boise State traveling to Hawaii and the Broncos are getting more healthy and a key for their path to victory is getting RB George Holani back. Without him it could make a win a little more difficult.

Jeremy and Matt are back to recap a Week 11 of Mountain West football which featured a massive blowout with Boise State using special teams for the 52-21 win. San Diego State had a huge game defensively and the running game seems to be on point as it topped Hawaii. Nevada won a closer than expected game over UNLV, 27-20. Utah State's defense showed life and also some big offensive plays but that was not enough to defeat Fresno State. San Jose State improved to 4-0 after defeating a pesky UNLV team.
