Turpin Preview




WYOMING COWBOYS (1-0) 


TURPIN SPARTANS (0-1)

      








                                         


After a big win last week against Aiken, the Wyoming Cowboys look to carry the momentum into Week 2's game against the Turpin Spartans (0-1). This will be the fourth straight year that the Cowboys have met with Turpin.  The Cowboys have gone winless in the last three meetings against Turpin , including a 34-14 loss last season.

This isn't the same Spartan team Wyoming faced last year however.  Turpin Head Coach Rob Stoll graduated 16 seniors last season, including QB Conner Jansen, who scarred the Cowboys for 2 passing TDs and 2 rushing TDs in last year's contest. Jansen will be replaced by Junior Patrick Fetch.

The D2 Spartans opened off their season in the Skyline Crosstown Showdown, where they were beaten 33-14 by the formidable Withrow Tigers. Following a loss to one of the best teams in the city, Turpin will come out hungry at home, looking to earn their first win of the season against a familiar face.

Coming off a 49-0 victory against Aiken, the Cowboys hope to earn a win against a team they've come up short against every year. Senior Will Marty needs 1,800 passing yards to break the school record, and he'll look to classmate Dominic Vamosi at the Wide Receiver position for a good number of those yards. The pair hooked up for 571 yards and 5 TDs last year.  Vamosi will have to be a big target this year to fill the shoes of the CHL's leader in receiving yards Ben Kurtz, who graduated last year.


To win, the Cowboy's Defense will have to control the game against the Spartans, and play as well against them as they did against Aiken. Last week, the Cowboys defense shut out Aiken, and recovered 3 fumbles. This week, the defensive unit will have to slow down Turpin to turn the game in the Cowboy's favor.
