Fresno State at Boise State

[milohimself]

Fill in that mid-week football void with a good mid-major showdown. Based on this year, Boise should win this game easily.

Boise was the last win for Fresno State last year, who has since slipped into a 1-10 record starting with that barn-burner at USC.

The Broncos have also often been the foil to Fresno's WAC season over the last few years. Bulldogs are 1-4 against Boise in the WAC since they've been in the same conference.

Game starts on the smurf turf in about an hour, on ESPN2.

Is Pat Hill still at Fresno? How are they struggling so badly, and Boise cruising without Hawkins?!?! :sad:

This game is already over thanks to the fake punt by Boise State.

 

[hvwarrior58]

Well, that proved me wrong. BSU is held to a FG and FSU returns the onsuing kickoff for a TD.

 

[VolinArizona]

Ugh, I have a unit on Boise -13.5 in the first half.

 

[hvwarrior58]

It's still in the first quarter and I've seen this offense explode. They can easily have 31 by the end of the half.

 

[hvwarrior58]

See, 10-7 BSU at the end of the first(likely at least).

 

[milohimself]

That touchdown pass was sweet.

 

[rwemyss]

I rather enjoyed the kickoff return.

 

[VolinArizona]

I've actually watched 3 or 4 Boise games this season, and I'm pretty impressed with their defense.

 

[milohimself]

I rather enjoyed the kickoff return.

I'm guessing you're rooting for Fresno State?

 

[VolinArizona]

OH COME ON! Intercept that and take it to the house and COVER MY THIRTEEN AND A HALF

 

[hvwarrior58]

Dang, how do you drop that? That is an easy pick 6.

I'm absolutely praying for Boise State to get a BCS bid. That way, they can get destroyed and we'll never have to hear from those frauds again. I had hoped UGA sodomizing them last year would have proven the point about those stooges, but apparently someone is going to have to kill them on a bigger stage to put them in their place.

 

[hvwarrior58]

I don't know if that will happen sadly. I think they may end up playing the winner of the ACC and handling them, ala Utah vs Pitt a few years ago.

Any of the ACC contenders would beat Boise by two touchdowns on a neutral field.

 

[hvwarrior58]

Right now, I think the ACC winner will be BC/GT. GT is one dimensional(CJ) and Ball is a schizo. And I just don't like BC.

 

[hvwarrior58]

I thought the same about Pitt vs Utah.

Either of those teams would dismantle Boise.

 

[hvwarrior58]

I'm with you, I wanna see BSU get pounded(though they'll still be overrated next year). I just don't think it will happen. They won't pair them against one of the big dogs.

 

[milohimself]

Either of those teams would dismantle Boise.

BC only won by 6 when they faced last season.

 

[VolinArizona]

Boise State is the one mid major I actually like.

 

[hatvol96]

I thought the same about Pitt vs Utah.

I didn't. That Utah team had routed multiple major conference teams that season. Boise State's only claim to fame this year is beating Oregon State at home. Carson Newman would probably beat Oregon State at home. The Beavers are a wretched road team.

 

[hvwarrior58]

I don't see it. BC has nothing special and, as I stated before, GT has Calvin Johnson(see GT vs Clemson) and Ball(horrible).

 

[hatvol96]

BC only won by 6 when they faced last season.

BC is much improved. Boise, on the other hand, is still a fraud the magnitude of Enron.
