Other Games....CFB and NFL

MW 2-0 in bowl games to this point.

Fresno ended as a pretty damn good team and reached ten wins by putting the boots to Washington State 29-6.

BSU also turned things around from a rough early season start and finished with ten wins after squeaking by North Texas 35-32.

BYU of course squeaked out a two point win over SMU in the New Mexico Bowl.

Oregon State crushes Florida 30-3. My completely uniformed opinion is that Talich ends up with the Beavs.

FCS championship will see NDSU and SDSU. SDSU pounded Montana State 39-18 and of course Sean Chambers injured his leg/foot in the first quarter and viewed the rest of the game from the sideline sporting a boot. Announcers said he intended to play a sixth year next year. Crazy.

Vikings with the biggest comeback in history by erasing a 33 point halftime deficit to beat the Colts.

And of course JA did a lot JA things with the Bills besting Miami and earning a fourth consecutive playoff berth. Josh did some great things...four passing touchdowns, two point conversion, and some clutch runs (led the team in rushing again).

Never so Proud of our Cowboys

Playing there in Chicago must really be a thrill for the Pokes. I love watching our team play. Overwhelmed but made it close at times. We all know who we miss with our team, C'est La Vie. I really think all of the games we have played are in the Pokes edge. Good Lord, the top Mtn West Teams are undefeated. I think it is time we changed that. We have the ability. Go Pokes. Looks like we have one Poke rolling tonight! Take the Dolphins back to the Aquarium! Always Positive!

Look for Dayton Flyers to be in the Big Jig.

Navy coach fired after 15 years

Amassed a 109-83 record over 15 seasons with two 11 win, one 10 win, three 9 win, three 8 win and a 7 win season for 10 bowl eligible seasons.

His downfall was the last 3 seasons which were sub .500.

I am guessing the transfer portal doesn’t benefit the service academies the same way it can benefit other programs making a tough job even more challenging.

Bohl only has to pick up 57 wins in the next 6 years to equal the total amassed at Navy by Ken Niumatalolo.

As a rush first team since Bohl became the Wyoming coach, Navy only finished nationally below Wyoming in rushing yards during the shortened 2020 season.

It proves you can win being a rush first program, but you have to be really, really good at rushing as Navy won a lot of games when over 300+ yards on average but had recently been in the upper 100’s to the lower 200’s while winning only 4 games a year.

Just an observation about teams that don’t use the pass much and Navy usually passes less than the AFA. No hiding that the next play up is a rush for those teams.

Howdy Doody has won 71 games the past 9 years using the rush only attack for a 7.89 win per year ratio further proving that the rush only attack wins a lot of games when it is over 300 yards per game with a reasonable defense.

Therefore we either better get so good at rushing we average well over 300 yards per game or learn how to be a really good balanced offense. Otherwise the win ratio will become more like our current 5.78 the past 9 years (6.57 the past 7) which got Navy into the new coach mode. The past 7 years Navy averaged 5.87 wins per year and the past 9 at 6.67 wins. Very similar overall except Navy has trended losing 1 more game per year while Wyoming has trended upward winning 1 additional game per year.
