If it felt like quarterback Josh Allen was carrying the entire program on his shoulders last season, that is because he was. Allen persevered despite having mediocre talent around him. Now, Allen is the starting quarterback for the Buffalo Bills and the talent on this roster is now an issue without Allen to cover up the issues.

IThe offense largely looks to be a major problem for a program that will certainly struggle this season. If the team could barely move the ball with the rocket-armed Allen, bigger problems are in store this season. The strengths that the team has are a veteran offensive line and a solid receiver corps. However, there is a dearth of talent to run behind the line and no proven quarterback to throw the ball to the receivers.

IThe 2017 Cowboys were opportunistic on defense, forcing 38 turnovers on the season. The good news is that the Cowboys return most of their defense from last season so it looks to be more of the same. Look for the team to be in plenty of low scoring battles. The Cowboys will be tough to run on this season as the defensive line return to all-Mountain West Conference players. The Cowboys will have to hold their opponents close because they simply do not have the offensive firepower to come from behind. Wyoming has played in two consecutive bowl games. The Cowboys will have to push it this season to make a third due to deficiencies on the offensive side of the ball.
