The heaviest defensive lineman for Wyoming is 279. We should be able to impose our will. On the other hand they have a very big offensive line.
I still think we win easily.
That's what I saw too. Both Davis twins are on the Kick return team, so they show up in the participation report, but I don't believe either actually played at DT until late.Nebraska did not play reserves at DT until the second half. And reserve DT's only played 3 snaps for us before the 5 minute mark in the 4th. (At least that is what I saw from my rewatch, please correct me if I am wrong)
So 8 of 44. Nebraska covers the 24 or 24 1/2
Does it though? Wyoming has shot themselves in the foot an infinite number of times today as well.
The Wyoming QB is solid but has a tendency to hold on to the ball too long and doesn't throw the receiver open. Because he throws the ball late, he will get picked. Northern Illinois dropped a sure pick last week and also had one called back because of a penalty. If Nebraska is able to shut down the run, which I believe they will, Wyoming won't be able to run the ball 50+ times like they did last week. When you make a team one dimensional you win.
