Commentary: This is the most exciting game on the Mountain West Conference schedule. This game is one of the most important games in the history of the Wyoming football team, which will have an opportunity to prove whether it belongs in the first tier of the Mountain West Conference and among the best teams in the nation. Although Boise State is accustomed to playing at an elevation of approximately 2,695 feet, such elevation is significantly different than Jonah Field at War Memorial Stadium’s sky high elevation of 7,220 feet. Symptoms from acute mountain sickness typically begin at an elevation of 8,000 feet. Such symptoms include dizziness, fatigue, and shortness of breath.
