MWC 2018 football predictions

MWC West

Fresno State-  HC Tedford may have found a home . QB Marcus McMaryion leads an exciting offense. The D is solid
Nevada QB Gangi turned the corner late last season. Solid receiving corps!
San Diego State- Solid D , solid rushing attack
UNLV Rebels' promises running thin? Is rushing tandem, Charles Williams and Lexington Thomas, going to get them a bowl ticket?
San Jose State 14 returning starters
Hawaii Nine returning starters

MWC Mountain

Utah State rides the love (QB Justin Love) train to the MWC title game
Boise State : Broncos are talented, but I'm not sold on Coach Harsin
Colorado State Coach Bobo has tuned up the O but can the Rams D step up?
New Mexico Lobo slide continues
Wyoming Replacing QB Josh Allen will be tough
Air Force  Limited passing game catches up with the Falcons.

Aug 6: Will the #sdst still be able to play at  SDCCU Stadium, the former home of the Chargers, after 2019? San Diego is trying to get more than the $1.1 million rent hike from the Aztecs for the 2020 season.
Aug 14- Meanwhile San Jose State moves Oct 13 home game in aging CEFCU stadium  vs. Army to Levi’s Stadium, home of the 49ers.
Aug 25 - Just rolling my eyes that this intrastate rivalry #coloradost  / #colorado is taking a brief hiatus in 2021-22. Rocky Mountain Showdown will continue in 2023-24.
aug 26: Big opening night win for #Hawaii:  C.McDonald  threw for 418 yards and 3 TDs in a 43-34 a surprise Rainbows  win over Colorado St., led  Samuels who  threw for 537  yards and 5 Tds .  Nico Evans ran for 206 yards and two touchdown in a #wyoming win in a non -conference game at N Mexico St.
sept 1: #Love and the #utahst hurry up/don't sub Offense had Sparty on it's heels for the first 25 minutes, but couldn't prevail as MSU scored a late TDfor the 38-31 victory.  Nevada crushed Portland St. Rough night for SDST who lost 31-10 to Stanford, and Colorado St who lost 45-13 to Colorado.
sept 2: Hawaii Rainbows' offense is the big news in the #MWC.  #cole mcdonald threw for 428 yards and 6 TDs in a 59-41 win over Navy. He has nine TD passes in two weeks. #Boise rolled Troy 56-20.  New Mexico beat Incarnate, Fresno crushed Idaho, and Wyoming was thrashed by Wash St
oct 2
Hawaii remains the biggest surprise #MWC  team (5--1) and 2-0 in conference play. Cole McDonald has toss 24 TD passes and should lead the Rainbows to a home win over the Wyoming . Colorado St has been a disappointment and their season could get worse if they don't beat SJ ST. Utah St has big intrastate game against BYU (Independent). Boise St/SDST is getting all the ink, but Fresno St has an improing offense and will beat an erratic Nevada squad
oct 7
AFA crushed Navy, Hawaii edged Wyoming, Aztecs over the Blue Turfers. Fresno held Nevada to 3 points. Jones (New Mexico) and Samuels (Col St) each threw four tds in wins over respectively ,UNLV and SJST.

    1. Robert: Lack of D isthe major question for most conference teams so the jury is out and I suspect Ags win a lot of 35-31 games.
