Friday August 17, 2012 News

Chris Nwoke, the projected starting RB for CSU, was seen riding a stationary bike with a protective boot due to an injured ankle and the Rams are down to three healthy RBs with two weeks to go before the game against CU.  RamNation is speculating in this form that Nwoke's injury is worse than first thought and Nwoke would miss the CU game which would be a huge blow to CSU's offense.  That could make Jordan Webb's first game as the starting QB easier and the eventual backup QB for the Buffs could get to play due to a forecast of three and outs by the CSU offense.

An Arizona walk-on WR is making a serious case to get serious playing time.  Rich Rod, like his CU counterpart, will be counting on freshmen for depth.  Can anyone say those two schools will be battling it out for the 2015 South crown?  GoArizonaWildcats posters these days are speculating what the pass-run ratio will be on offense this year.  One poster said RicRod's past teams had a 60-40 rush ratio while one poster said that due to Matt Scott and talent at WR, it could be 55-45 in favor of the pass while one said 50-50.  One poster said that there is lack of depth at QB despite UA just naming what appears to be a capable back-up QB to Scott in Denker.

Like with the UA walk-on WR, a similiar story is happening with a freshman DT for the Sun Devils. Coach Graham claims he is sick or was that all the yelling he was doing at camp?  HouseOfSparky previewed the OL and claimed that the OL was out of shape last season and is in better shape this season.  If my suspicions are correct, Coach Graham's voice these days could be due to him screaming at his OL to get off their rears and get to running drills.  Or the OL getting beat by a freshman DT?

Utah's bowl destination could hinge on the kicking game this year. Coach Whittingham wasn't too happy with special teams last week as it was noted by this blog in a earlier post.  Those Utah kickers might want to call up that Boise State kicker who missed a FG at Nevada that cost BSU dearly a couple of years back.  On the CougarUte Forum, early talk on UNC-Utah focuses on five questions then BYU fans give their Ute counterparts a hard time about losing to CU last season.  The same Ute fans are thinking Hays will be the backup QB so Wilson can redshirt.  That will all hinge on Wynn's ability to stay healthy.
