NCAA Football Conference Previews Part 3

-Mountain West Conference-

Predicted Finish
1.TCU
  Andy Dalton along with a solid defense, who will have to fill some holes,  should make the horned frogs conference champs. 
2.Utah
  Relying on the run game will be key for the Utes to finish in the top two. The backfield includes veteran RB Matt Asiata and RB Eddie Wide and the QB position should be solid with either Jordan Wynn or Terrance Cain running the show.
3.BYU
  Offense loses alot of weapons at key positions but i don't see them falling any lower than 3rd in this conference. The defense will have to carry this team early on.
4.San Diego St
  Should be interesting to see the progression of the Aztecs going into Brady Hoke's second year in San Diego. QB Ryan Lindley should put up big numbers as he throws to Vincent Brown. Having said that, the running game needs to step up to help this team take a step in the right direction, as does the defensive secondary.
5.Air Force
 The lack of any experience at offensive line really does not bode well for this team.
6.Wyoming
  I can easily see the Cowboys moving higher than the 6th position with a promising QB and Alvester Alexander leading the way at running back but for now until the defense can become better i will leave them here.
7. New Mexico
  Promising at the skill positions on offense that can produce depending on how the line performs. There are a few pieces on defense to work with but the secondary must get better.
8.Colorado St
9.Unlv


Player of the Year
Andy Dalton, QB, TCU
Really wanted to pick a Utah running back but Dalton should put up big numbers beating up on Mountain West opponents and his team will be a top 25 team all year.

Must see games
Oregon St vs. TCU, Sept 4th
San Diego St @ Wyoming, Oct 30th
TCU @ Utah, Nov 6th
