Egriz will be full of opinions tonight, play calling, coaching, time out strategy etc. all contributed to the Griz loss but when you run for only 43 yards and a 2.2 rushing ave. you won't win many games. Plus the Griz D got gashed for over 200 yards on the ground. Even with a plus 2 turnover margin, the Griz could not hold off that running attack of Wyo. A classic Bohl victory?
The Wyo. run game hurt us, was hard to stop at times, and on several drives, but giving up 209 yards (4.5 per carry) in the run game and only 92 in the pass game to a Mountain West team is actually quite good. 6 sacks and 9 TFL is very good. 58 yards on 1 rush, so, without that one, a bit over 3 yards per carry.
To put in a bit of perspective. UM is 30th in the nation in total defense. Somewhere a bit below 50th in rushing defense. 1st in team sacks.
Yes, running for only 43 yards is not good.
