New Coach Means New Era For Wyoming

The Wyoming Cowboys won the Arizona Bowl last season to cap off a solid 9-4 campaign. That win also capped off the coaching career of Craig Bohl, who retired after that victory over the Toledo Rockets. Former Wyoming defensive coordinator Jay Sawvel has taken over as the head coach of the Cowboys, who will look to pick up where they left off last season with a win in their season opener against the Sun Devils.

Wyoming does have recent experience winning against Big 12 competition going into this contest against Big 12 debutants Arizona State. The Cowboys beat the Texas Tech Red Raiders last season. And while Wyoming was the home team in that game, which they are not here, they should still take some confidence from that result into this season opening matchup in Tempe.

Arizona State Opens Time As Big 12 Team

Last season, the Arizona State Sun Devils finished with a record of 3-9, in another disappointing season in a string of them for the Sun Devils. But they will leave a lot in the past from that season, including the conference they were in, as Arizona State has moved from the Pac-12 to the Big 12 for the start of this year's college football action. Arizona State's first game as a Big 12 team will come here against Wyoming, as the Sun Devils look to start their year with a win on their home field.

The Arizona State offense was horrible last season, to put it gently. The Sun Devils averaged just 17.75 points per game last year despite playing games against bad teams like Cal and Colorado in their old conference. If the Sun Devils don't find an offensive spark in this game, they could be in for a disappointing loss to kick off their year.

Wyoming vs Arizona State Best Bet

There are a lot of question marks on both sides of this Wyoming vs Arizona State matchup. But we will look past the conference affiliations of these teams and go with the Wyoming Cowboys to cover the number as an underdog on the road. This is a game that could come down to the final play in either direction and we like Arizona State to win by closer to a field goal than a touchdown, if Wyoming doesn't end up taking this game outright.
