Greetings, Bronco fans. Settle in as Boise State wraps up its regular season road schedule against the Utah State Aggies tonight (7:30pm, ESPN2). Will the Broncos make a statement on national TV? Will the Aggies put up a good fight?

Does anyone know if this game is sold out?
Their ticket office’s phone line is closed for some dumb reason.
I really doubt it’s a sellout, just makin sure.

I heard last night
On the channel 7 news there was enough tickets left to walk up and buy them at the stadium. But that was last night.
"Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock this afternoon... with nail polish."
Yes, a statement will be made
First statement is we will pound the rock on the ground most of the game. I think we will not throw as much as we normally do. We will throw enough to keep them from stacking the box. With our QB and receiving core, they will not be able to cheat up. We should see some holes open up at the line.
Second statement is for Nevada’s benefit. There will be no large amount of running yards in this game. We will shut down their running QB and RBs. I hope Kapi and company are watching and flinch with anticipated pain that they can expect from the BSU D next week.
Signature Pending
Yes!!
Only an hour to go!!

They came on with late breaking news about this 10 minutes or so after the Intern posted it here.
He has his ear close to something for sure.

That's right guys, you're stuck with me
Kevan is off in McCall without internet access so I’ll be doing my best to get a recap up with analysis as quickly as possible which will most likely be much later than Kevan does it
I'm sorry
but college basketball does not officially begin for me until football is over in January.
Get on with football here!

have they done it
other than the times when they score first (meaning the weird field-goal kick thing)? I can’t remember
Man, I hope they don't match you up with TCU in a BCS game.
I’d love to see Boise in one, but I want to see you knock down a BCS team.
wouldn't that be a great rematch though

Oh, it would.
And for your sake, I’d rather you have that than go to a non-BCS game. But still, I most want both BSU and TCU to take out a couple of ‘biggies’.

Great start!
Interception.

The O Line
is dominating running and passing. Awesome.

Is it me or does Utah State already look dead? I think the difference between Florida and Boise State is less than that between these two teams tonight…

How does he get that open?
"Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock this afternoon... with nail polish."
that
is what is looked like from the replay, but I couldn’t tell if it was because Wilson passed him off to a safety who should have been there but wasn’t, of if Wilson just dropped him
crap. hope that word hasnt been taken away.
by pretendhuman on Nov 20, 2009 7:03 PM PST via mobile reply actions
burned by a couple of big plays again
we seem to play so steady and then it’s like the third or fourth string defense is in and they get a big play or two. that’s a disturbing trend i’ve noticed through the year. anybody else seen it?

I think third down was a disguised throwaway.
It looked more like keeping it from the defender than getting it to the receiver.
it was
like the Legadu Nannee TD reception last Sunday: mostly throw it away, but if the receiver catches it : awesome
you notice that "milling around before the snap" defense? We should be able to take advantage of that.

So basically, your team has more offensive firepower at subfreezing temperature than pretty much any Big 10 team. (Based more on previous games than this one so far.)

This is an awkward turnover.
With all the speculation about Boise jumping to the MWC, they have to be careful how they ask the questions.
um, did our defense forget to come out of the locker room?

BSU is playing a lot of zone defense.
I get that it keeps defenders turned toward the (running) quarterback, but is that normal for your defense? Or are they more comfortable playing man defense?
i hope the coaching staff will see the sense in pounding the rock and keeping the ball out of borel's hands
