In the latest episode of the Bet the Board podcast, Brad Powers steps in for Todd Fuhrman and Payne Insider to provide an in-depth preview of the Mountain West Conference. The discussion begins with New Mexico, where Powers notes the challenges the team faces with a lack of depth and a rebuilding year ahead. Moving to Nevada, he highlights their potential defensive strengths but expresses concern about their offensive capabilities.
For Hawaii, Powers discusses their unique home-field advantage and offensive scheme but also points out their defensive vulnerabilities. Utah State's outlook seems mixed, with potential on both sides of the ball, but consistency remains a question mark. San Jose State gets praise for their experienced roster and solid coaching, while San Diego State is expected to be strong defensively but might struggle offensively.
Colorado State is another team in transition, with a focus on rebuilding and improving their overall competitiveness. Air Force, known for their disciplined and effective play, is highlighted as a potential dark horse in the conference. Wyoming's rugged defense and strong running game are discussed, but their passing game could hold them back.
UNLV's improvement is noted, especially with new coaching and an influx of talent, but they still face an uphill battle. Fresno State's solid foundation and balanced team make them a contender, while Boise State is pegged as the conference favorite due to their consistent performance and depth.
Powers concludes the episode with his BEST BET for the season, highlighting a team with a favorable schedule and strong potential to outperform expectations. This comprehensive preview offers listeners valuable insights and analysis for the upcoming Mountain West Conference season.
