Can't Live Without

Pretty much any team across the nation always have that one player they can't live without. It is no different if one were to look across the teams from the MWC. One of those players for the Cougs would be Max Hall. Last year BYU got the Max out of Hall putting up among the best passing numbers across the nation of any sophomore QB (that includes Tim Tebow). Thus far into the season Heisman Candidate Hall has thrown for 17 TDs with only 4 INTs. Max is also already near 1600 passing yards on the season.

Last season's can't live without player for the Air Force Academy was Chad Hall. This year it would fall on the shoulders of senior QB Shea Smith (5.11/190) who has accounted for nearly forty percent of all Falcon points put on the board.

Colorado State's senior RB Gartrell Johnson III (6.0/227) scampered last year for nearly 1000 yards. The back from Miami Springs Florida is well on his way with 99 attempts for 491 yards with 5 TDs averaging 5 per carry.

From UNLV Frank "The Tank" Summers is another player that Rebels can't live without. Just ask the yewts last year (at 5.10/240 he rolled right over them for 190 yards). On the year Summers has 115 carries for 515 yards with 4 rushing TDs. In 2007 Frank steamrolled oppponents for 928 yards.

Senior Aztec linebacker Russ Allen (6.3/235) averaged 10.6 tackles per game last year. With only 3 returning defensive starting seniors Allen provides an immense value of team leadership. Last season he spotted 119 tackles for the season as well as 22 against the yewts.

In the last two seasons combined senior Rodney Ferguson (6.0/230) has rushed for nearly 2500 yards and 23 TDs for the lobos. The two time All MWC player from Albuquerque hasn't skipped a beat in 2008 busting for 523 yards and 6 TDs.

Cowboys back Devin Moore (5.10/190) is on pace to surpass last seasons total of 965 yards with 582 covered already. Moore is gaining 5.3 yards per carry and not showing any signs of slowing down. Wyoming will definately need all the mileage they can get from Devin this season.

Since finding the field as a redshirt freshman Jason Phillips (6.1/234) has started ever since. The TCU senior linebacker from Waller Texas had a team leading 87 tackles last year. Phillips has a motor that never stops.

Yewt all world kicker Louie Sakoda in 2007 placed in the top 5 in punting average and FG percentage. The senior from San Jose only missed from 45, 48 and 51. Louie was named the MWC Special Teams Player Of The Year last season. Against Michigan Sakoda drilled 4 FGs to help propel the yewts over the Wolverines.
