PokesBlog: Live chat with Mike Vorel
Casper Star-Tribune and Pokes Authority reporter Mike Vorel discusses the Wyoming football team's home opener on Saturday against Montana.
-
In comparing wick to hill, do they bring the same style, is hill faster? of course you probably haven't had enough of a look yet to determine that -
Hill is definitely faster. I actually think Hill has comparable speed to May, but he's also pretty big. -
Give Hill a year to process things, and that guy is scary.
-
Wick is more of a power runner. We know the first hit won't bring him down. Love his style. But yeah, not winning foot races.
-
Wick prolly runs a 4.9 haha but he sure is tough... Jk
-
And with Hill, after a year in Duval's program, he'll be a beast.
-
Look at measurables, and Hill is already impressive. 6-foot and a strong 204, with a lot of speed. If he processes the mental side and can play instinctively, he may have a few nice runs down the line this year
-
But this week I'd expect May and Wick to take the vast majority, barring injuries.
-
-
Wick runs and is a tough nut. He might not be as fast as the other to but he has always produced.
-
Tim, agree. He's not a sprinter but he's very hard to bring down, and I think his vision is very underrated. Can't overstate how good of a year he had last year.
-
The RB corps are exciting, if this OL holds up. Time will tell.
-
I wonder how much they worked on ball security with the younger backs, teriyon Gipson anyone?
-
I know they did, but that honestly wasn't a huge issue with Wick and Co. last year. Hopefully it isn't again.
-
will we see a lot of fullback this Saturday, or are we still trying grow into that position?
-
We won't see many different ones, but I think we'll see plenty of Drew Van Maanen, the starter. He has come along nicely.
-
The OL line is the biggest question mark. We have good backs, like how Colby has processed and our receiver are really strong.
-
Tim, no doubt about it. Some good players on OL too, but it's a big adjustment with them to new system and a lot of them haven't played a ton.
-
27-17 Pokes win and a good start to the Bohl era in Wyoming.
-
73, my prediction is pretty much that. Can't see it being a blowout. We're in for a good game.
-
-
WR coach Kenni Burns told me 6 will probably play at some point this week -- Rufran, Maulhardt, Gentry, Claiborne, Montgomery, Simpson/Norman.
-
Not all of those guys will probably catch passes, though.
-
Kind of disappointed in Young, thought he would have at least gave a run for starter. but congrats to Kirk, those who stay...
-
Indeed. Colby's biggest asset has been his mental side. Absorbed this new system very quickly.
-
-
We're at our time limit. Any last minute questions? We had technical issues, so I can do a few more.
-
I like Maulhardt, think he'll be a force in the red zone. A few drops this fall but hopefully that doesn't recur.
-
-
Yes, definitely. That stat is crazy to me. Wyoming either scored a TD or shot itself in the foot last year.
-
Stu isn't the world's greatest kicker, but he also is more than serviceable.
-
-
This coaching staff will be much more conservative in those situations.
