This team has a lot of potential to score points but the big concern is the defense and if the changes they made will improve enough to get this team to at least bowl eligible. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mwwire/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mwwire/support Learn more about your ad choices.

Jeremy and Matt are back to preview the Utah State Aggies who have the potential to be in the upper part of the Mountain Division. This team returns all of its offensive line, most of the receiving group and quarterback Jordan Love is the guy. Then on the defensive side of the ball, the Aggies do have a new coordinator but they return nine defensive starters. Expectations are high for the Aggies this year and they just MIGHT challenge for the division title if things fall just right.

In the first of our non-conference previews we chat with Jake Kocorowski of Buckys 5th Quarter to get an early look at Wisconsin as they host the New Mexico Lobos on Sept. 8. The Badgers offense is the star of the show as they return All-American running back Jonathan Taylor, most of an experienced offensive line, solid wide receivers and quarterback Austin Hornibrook. That offense should have an easy time against the Lobos but the defense for the Badgers while talented needs to replace quite a bit from last year.

The NBA Draft deadline has come and gone and Nevada is getting back both the Martin twins, and San Diego State gets Jalen McDaniels back on its roster.

Next up in our Mountain West football preview is the Colorado State Rams who are entering a year of uncertainty in Mike Bobo's fourth year. Bobo has only one win against rivals, Boise State and bowl games, so this year could be a turning point. The Rams have two new coordinators and starting quarterback Collin Hill is not likely to play next year as he tore his ACL in late February, his second in his career. The running game will lead the way and the defense needs to improve to give this Colorado State team to challenge for a division title.

Jeremy and Matt start off their trudge toward the 2018 football season by starting our preview series with the New Mexico Lobos. There are a lot of questions with this team and it starts with head coach Bob Davie who is in a little bit of trouble as he was suspended for 30 days. There is a new offensive coordinator in Calvin Magee from Arizona in a move to get the offense back on track. QB is not 100 percent certain and the running game needs some help, as does the defense.
