Both offenses will need to overcome their challenges, particularly in the red zone, where Wyoming ranks 114th and Colorado State sits at 122nd in time of possession.
As both teams head into the game, they are coming off tough losses. Wyoming narrowly fell to Air Force on October 18, losing 24-21, despite Anderson’s impressive 79.3% completion rate. Colorado State, meanwhile, faced a tough defeat against Hawaii, losing 31-19, with Brousseau struggling to find rhythm.
Looking ahead, Wyoming will face a tough road game against San Diego State on November 1, while Colorado State will return home to host UNLV on November 8.
