Morning Coffee: A Wyld review in a WAC
Morning Coffee: A Wyld review in a WAC
Posted by ESPN.com's Graham Watson
Did Fresno State wide receiver Devon Wylie fumble the ball or was the pass incomplete? That's what WAC officials are determining this week, according to commissioner Karl Benson, who said the officials review calls in every game every week.
The controversial call that came during Fresno State's 13-10 loss to No. 10 Wisconsin could of sent the Big Ten into an uproar had the called affected the outcome of the game. Prior to the game, Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema argued about the officials being from the WAC and asked (and was denied) a more diverse group.
Benson said the officials would have a conference call Wednesday to discuss the finding from the review.
• The Columbus Dispatch profiles Troy and its propensity for taking lumps against some of the major players in college football.
• The Colorado Springs Gazette writes that what made Air Force successful against Utah last season was a rash of injuries the Utes endured prior to the game.
• Thought this year's Fresno State schedule was difficult? The Bulldogs are just getting warmed up.
• Idaho Press-Tribune writes that Oregon's speed is what most concerns Boise State as they head into their tilt with the No. 17 Ducks this weekend.
• Should the Mountain West get an automatic bid to the BCS? The Mountain West Conference Connection thinks so.
• I usually don't link to message board posts, but rarely are any posts this grounded. Yes, the MWC had a great weekend against the Pac-10, but it's just one weekend.
• Louisiana Tech has played with heavy hearts this season after offensive line coach Pete Perot underwent open heart surgery before the start of the season and is on an indefinite leave.
• MAC coaches are debating whether to play four nonconference games or expand the MAC schedule in place of the nonconference foes. Interesting stuff here.
• The Bleacher Report is on the Notre Dame bandwagon, but thinks the Irish might still lose to Michigan State this weekend in East Lansing.
• The Big Ten is 6-0 against the MAC this season, but that hasn't stopped the bulk of those coaches from praising the schools that have played the Big Ten well this season.
