Today's Topic = Devils Haboob Cowboys

That was some Devils dust storm that hit Wyoming last night in SDS...;)

Complete dominance against a Cowboy's team that was only rated a TD below the Devils entering the game...

And, the Pokes did more than their fair share of helping the Devils along the way with lots of self-destructive behavior...

But, we'll take it just like any predator would do with any pretty helpless prey they just caught and played with before the end came for the prey...

Now comes the Mississippi St Bulldogs who demolished E Kentucky yesterday 56-7 under a pass happy new coach in Jeff Lebby...

Lebby has been mentored along the coaching pathways by Art Briles at Baylor, Josh Heupel at UCF and Lane Kiffin at Ole Miss...

He is not only the Bulldogs HC but also their OC and he has a QB who won't remind anyone of the Cowboys Evan Svoboda in Baylor transfer Blake Shapen...

Shapen was 15-20 for 247 passing yards and three TDs and also rushed for another TD so had four TDs with no INTs in the game...

The Bulldogs also rushed for over 200 yards that gave them 450 total yards of offense against E Kentucky...

So, it should be a very competitive game that might come down to a made or missed FG along the way...

I believe the Devils have been established as a 2.5 pt favorite so it's basically a toss-up game for the odds-makers...

The only drawbacks last night for the Devils were the two missed FGs and the major screw-up inside the Cowboys 10 yard line, right before the half, where they came out of a TO only to be penalized for a delay of game penalty and then subsequently missed a short FG...

In the Big-12 only Houston and W Virginia lost yesterday, and from what I could tell watching various games, it looks like the Devils can be competitive against just about any team in the conference, if they play like they did against Wyoming last night...

Also glad that we don't have to face either Texas or Oklahoma who are now in the SEC and have a lot more talent than we do it appears...

So, let's enjoy the big win today and start worrying about Miss St and their new HC starting tomorrow...

Have a safe and pleasant Labor Day tomorrow...:)

G'day Mates and Go Devils!!!
