David Augusto versus Todd Harris: not all that close

Someone just raised the bar on David Augusto.

ESPN will be sending its B-minus team to Boise on Friday for the Hawaii-Boise State game, and this time they're bringing sideline reporter Todd Harris along. He's heard so much about this Boondocks place.

Harris will have a chance to lay down the hammer on KTVB's sideline maven David Augusto, who has been less than informative so far this season. Harris, a regular on ABC and ESPN broadcasts and, from the looks of things, the complete opposite of Augusto, could rewrite the sideline standards for all Bronco broadcasts in the future.

Just how far apart are Augusto and Harris? Well, the only way to find out is to break things down scientifically. Here's how the two stack up at the tale of the tape.
