Casper Star-Tribune: TCU batters Smith, Pokes

By ERIC SCHMOLDT Star-Tribune staff writer

LARAMIE -- Mazi Ogbonna started to leave the field when he couldn't make a catch on third down.

Wyoming's senior wide receiver quickly ran back on as he looked back and saw quarterback Brett Smith lying motionless on his back.

"Everybody was really worried," Ogbonna said. "I know exactly what he means to this team and especially to this offense.

"To see someone that's contributing that much to your team down like that is never a good sight."

Smith, the Pokes' standout true freshman quarterback, was under duress plenty during the day, but Tank Carder's hit on the first play of the fourth quarter spelled doom for a UW team trailing TCU by just four points.

It also spelled the end of the day for Smith. ...

Anyone have a pic of the Carder hit?

Yet another homer newspaper writer, talking about not losing as badly as in the last few years.

:happy:

1. I really don't think that Smith staying in would have made a difference. Their offence was much less even before Smith got hurt. Plus less high-school level calls by the officials.
2. The only reason they were close at all was the 5 turnovers! Ok, Wyoming, you can have Smith for the entire game, let us have the 5 turnovers back.
3. Over 600 yards despite 5 turnovers shows total domination.

The score easily could've been 52-13.
