Fiesta Bowl preview: Is Titus Young Boise State's only chance of winning?

PrintIn the latest issue of ESPN the Magazine, the Fiesta Bowl gets some face time, and Titus Young is hailed as Boise State's only hope. Oh yeah, and Rick Reilly wrote something I didn't bother reading.
Do you think having an effective Titus Young is the only way Boise State wins the Fiesta Bowl? Is ESPN taking things too far? Find out exactly what the magazine said after the jump, and share your thoughts in the comments.
In an article titled "Eight Big-Game Stars" featured in the back of the magazine where all the real journalism is kept, ESPN's Alan Grant wrote the following:
To have any shot, the Broncos will have to get creative with WR Titus Young. Look for him to be on the outside, in the slot, in the backfield, and constantly in motion. And since the Horned Frogs play mostly man coverage, Young could get tons of chances to rack up the yards.
Grant's introductory phrase is what jumped out the most at me. "To have any shot"? So essentially, if Titus Young is not a big part of the offense, Boise State has no chance of winning. And even if he is a big part of the offense, then Boise State only has "a shot" at winning and still may very well lose.
Alan Grant, who has been slipping you the TCU Kool-Aid? And have you not watched Boise State football all season long?
Boise State can "have a shot" by doing any number of things: running effectively, getting Jeremy Avery in space, protecting Kellen Moore, converting third downs, starting with a short field. And those are just on offense. The Broncos will "have a shot" and then some if their good defense shows up to play.
What's worse is that Grant failed to mention the most important role that Young may play in the Fiesta Bowl: kickoff returns. He was an all-conference returner and provided some big special teams plays at some big moments. If given the chance, he could break a big one in the Fiesta.
Saying that Young is the Broncos only chance is a little short-sighted, in my opinion. At the same time, I think that Young's impact on the game is one of the most interesting storylines. If Austin Pettis cannot go, Young will be the Broncos' go-to receiver. He failed to impress with Pettis out against Nevada and New Mexico State, so will Bronco coaches have figured out a way to get him involved? And will TCU really single cover him if he is Kellen Moore's best passing option?
What are your thoughts? Is having an effective Titus Young the only way Boise State can win? How do you think Young will do against the Horned Frog defense? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Do We Have Any Shot?!!
There once was a team from Ft. Worth,
Who went undefeated and earned a BSC berth.
They played the Broncos,
And after many sorrows,
The team from the MWC came back to Earth.

Titus on Twitter
Titus tweeted: “Threw up my lungs last night my body feels very weak right now ! Pray for me”
So I tweeted him asking if he was ok and if he made it to AZ
His response was to me was: “I’ll be fine”
Ugh
While I know Titus Young is not Boise State’s only shot to win, the last thing we need is for him to be out for the game too. Get well soon, Titus.

All I know is, the actual team better not be buying into all this hype. If they are, they may end up being severely disappointed.
Belief in one’s ability is one thing, Overstating something to the point of delusion is another. I’d say Alan Grant has done the latter.
Boise State - The best in all the land (The "land" being Idaho, and large parts of California, Oregon, and Nevada.)
If TCU gets to caught up in trying to keep tabs on Titus, and they very well may, Kellen will pick them apart using the other weapons at his disposal. As for Titus coming up big in the kick return game…I would submit that him not having to work his magic in the kick return due to very few TCU kickoffs would be the better situation here. I also think that Doug Martin can and will play a big part in the offense by running the ball straight at the teeth of the defense and catching some some swing passes in open space,
Titus is certainly not the end all and be all of the Bronco offence for this game.
Well
To have “any” shot is a little hyperbolic, but that comes with the territory of writing shortish articles, so I wouldn’t think its too bad for Grant.
“Boise State can “have a shot” by doing any number of things: running effectively, getting Jeremy Avery in space, protecting Kellen Moore, converting third downs, starting with a short field. And those are just on offense. The Broncos will “have a shot” and then some if their good defense shows up to play."
The problem is, we haven’t been all that consistent at running effectively, protecting Kellen Moore is going to be pretty hard against TCU’s D-line, and converting third downs will be a lot tougher if Pettis isn’t in.
So that probably means we need a bunch of short fields and/or TY mega-completitions to get in a position to score. The first could happen, although with TCU being, you know, pretty good and with their massive yardage differential over us from last year, I would be pretty surprised if we win without at least a few major TY plays.

Well said, killtacular. My list of ways to “have a shot” did assume a lot. However, I think that the likelihood of Young going off is equal to running effectively, getting Avery in space, etc. It is hard to tell what Boise State will succeed at against TCU because no one knows what TCU will try to stop and how BSU will play things on offense. Grant could be right about Young’s impact in the end, but I hate to see him reduce the thing to generalities when the scale of the game is so large.
I appreciate you sharing the other side of the argument.
"Only film the ones that are standing, Kenneth." - Tony Perkis
I think that assuming that an entire game rests on the shoulders of one offensive player is at the very least, short-sighted. The level of depth for the Broncos on the offensive side is staggering compared to many other TOP 25 teams.
Perception is reality. And the current perception is TCU has blown out their last six opponents. The fact that most of them were doormats is largely ignored. As is custom to do with contradicting facts when making a subjective statement.
Perception also is that Boise State has appeared below par at times throughout the season. And that seems to be getting blown out of proportion. I’ve seen a couple different articles point the fact that Boise State won three of there games by less than eleven points. Which makes the Broncos look pedestrian. Let’s flip that statement;
Boise State has beaen ten of their thirteen opponents by eleven points or more.
ESPN is selling TCU, and as such gloating their numbers and accomplishments with rose colored glasses.
This all goes away with a Boise State win. Let’s pray it does.
Boise State - The best in all the land (The "land" being Idaho, and large parts of California, Oregon, and Nevada.)
How about another statement flipping exercise:
Boise St has had only one game all season that decided by less than double digits.
TCU has had 2 games decided by a TD or less.
You are exactly right, ESPN is really selling TCU HARD and I wouldn’t be surprised if many of the talking heads providing “expert analysis” haven’t watched a significant amount of TCU football all season long.

I must confess reading this post and comments is somewhat sobering.
Young w/o Pettis has not been particularly effective. Run game has been a challenge against teams that do not present as well as TCU. The general assumption appears to be that Kellen has to beat TCU for us to win. That is not unreasonable. I think it is useful to remember that our defense is stronger, partcularly the d-line, and especially the interior d-line. They racked up a lot of rushing yards against us last year. If we can shut them down on the run, keep Dalton in contain, force him to throw-perhaps the Bronco O versus the Frogs D will not be strictly the story line. I assume TCU’s mantra will be “get to Kellen” as they assume they will stop our rush relativley easily. The “samrt” money definitley sees this game as a lot of Bronco finesse necessary to overcome Horned Frogs brawn.

let's just give the frogs the trophy right now
obviously there’s no reason to play this game.
i do a slow burn every time i read one of these inane columns from some self-appointed demi-god of college football. i understand their incessant need to come up with something novel that hasn’t already been said by a handful of other pseudo-pundits half-a-dozen times during the past two weeks, but, crikey!, can’t they show us just a shred of respect? are they all too busy trying to look like nostradamus when the game’s over to honestly and critically assess both team’s talents?
doesn’t boise state have the nation’s highest rated quarterback and the #1 scoring offense in college football? i mean, this team isn’t the blind sisters of the poor. boise state is 13 and 0 and handled (yes, handled) the pac ten champion! oh, i forgot, that game doesn’t count because it was the first game of the season. give credit where credit is due. boise state is a darned good football team! every one of those thirteen wins came on the field and not in some whacked out sportswriter’s lame attempt at relevancy. they earned (as did tcu) a bcs berth, without the automatic qualifier safety net, by defeating all comers. and this isn’t their first fiesta bowl! c’mon folks, it ain’t rocket surgery — bsu belongs in this game and has more than “a shot” at victory.
admittedly, i’m a homer; i bleed blue and orange. but i’m pragmatic enough to understand that this is going to be, unquestionably, the most talented team boise state has played all year. that said, let’s allow the purple and white and the blue and orange to settle this on the field without all the media’s hysterical rhetoric. by the way, my money’s on the broncos!

I Agree, Kinda
I, too, am a homer. I bleed purple and white and can barely contain myself with my excitement over the TCU football team. I lived through one-win seasons and doormat status in the old Southwest Conference as a proud (and exceedingly naive) TCU student and alum. Then Arkansas went to the SEC; UT, A&M, Baylor and Tech went to the Big 12 and we doormats were left to fend for ourselves. (I think we did all right.)
This past decade has been great fun for me as we have gathered strength on a more level playing field. I can only imagine how the past few years must have been for Boise State fans as you have broken into national prominence just ahead of us.
While I like the media predictions concerning the Fiesta Bowl, I agree that the Broncos present the biggest challenge we have faced this year and should be afforded more respect than the media are giving them. Some of the predictions are over-stated. You folks played (and have for a few years now) one heck of a season. You should be proud of earning another spot in the BCS. You and Utah broke the ground for us. As our pairing in the Fiesta Bowl proves, though, there is more ground to be broken.
I had gone into a long tirade about how we’ve both improved since last year, how we should beware of your #1 offense and you should beware of our #1 defense and overall balance. But, ultimately, I agree with Joe Bob. “(L)et’s allow the purple-and-white and the blue-and-orange to settle this on the field without all the media’s hysterical rhetoric.”
It’s going to be a great game! (And my money’s on the Frogs!)

I like your perspective and appreciate the recognition you give the Broncos. I still hope my team beats yours handily, but hey at least some of recognize both teams are great.

I'm not really all that worried about the offense
Kellen will find a way to score points. What I really think needs to happen is for the defense to come out and hit TCU in the mouth the first few series and show they aren’t going to be manhandled like they were last year.
I'd like to see..
the defense come out and dominate like they’re capable of (especially with ample preparation time – See: Sept 3rd). Surely our defensive players can read and have seen every article touting how great TCU’s defense is. You think these guys will have a small chip on their shoulder? (I do) Also, wasnt the team’s motto all off-season “one point?” Surely they haven’t forgotten about this now.
I am a little apprehensive about this game, probably from reading and listening to so much media.. but I think we (myself for sure anyway) could be pleasantly surprised when this game finally kicks off. My apprehension is turning into cautious-optimism.

Chips for All
Boise may have a small, 1-point chip on their shoulders. TCU has a large, National Championship chip on theirs.
But chips are pointy
The 1-point chip, insignifigant as you might find it, is pointed squarely at TCU…the Broncos used this loss in offseason workouts, and are actually happy to be seeing the Frogs again.
If they’re wise, the Frogs will focus on Boise as an exclamation mark on those National Championship dreams, but the chip could be pointed at the system, or Texas who doesn’t deserve to be in the big game or Cincinatti who really didn’t deserve to jump TCU, and then the chip is more of a weight.
But to the point at hand…if Pettis can’t go, then a big game from TY isn’t necessarily the ONLY way the Broncos can win, but it will make things much better. Like 25% better….the three other major factors, the way I see it are:
1. O-Line Performance-Kellen Moore has only been sacked 5 times all year, but between fumbled snaps, difficulty making room for non-Martin rushers, and the back-up tackle protecting Jerry Fricking Hughes, Kellen’s clean jersey isn’t the only story here.
2. Doug “The Hammer” Martin-It’s been clear all year that Doug Martin is BSU’s best running back….if they don’t start him, or Avery doesn’t have the game of his life, BSU could be in trouble. It’s not the yards…we need a back to establish play-action early, and then it won’t really matter what recievers we have.
3. Defense-They don’t need to play their best, but a few less 70-60 yard touchdowns.
I could elaborate, but I find myself ignoring guests to talk football….
Anyway, Go Broncos!

Last year I think Boise State was playing with a "no BCS birth chip on the shoulder"
and we lost. so dont think this game will be any tougher,
*Perfection is our goal, excellence will be tolerated*
Good "Point"
Last year, our only disappointment was being in the Poinsettia Bowl for the second time in three years.
This year, both teams are considerably better. The game may not be any tougher from a mental standpoint, chips on the various shoulders, etc. But, from a physical stanpoint, this game will be much more of a challenge than last year, for both teams.
Fear the Frog!
Emotional defensive play
Could keep this a low scoring affair, a slug it to death match.
Be cool to see, a real slugfest. put the notice ot those other guys about how Ball is played out west, it isn’t all trick plays and passing games with no Ds out here.
It's Just ESPN Bloviation
If the games were only relevant in the dialogues, they wouldn’t play them.
I’m picking TCU, but no, I won’t bet against Boise State. I don’t care how good the MWC has looked in bowls to this point, TCU is not a great bowl team historically; though to be fair, they have never had a team this good.
Boise State loves the underdog role, I am sure Petersen love sit, and Patterson is hating it being played up, he’s smart enough to know how that can eat at his kids thinking they are going to win by showing, and as motivation for BSU.
TCU Is Not A Great Bowl Team...Historically
That is true if you look at prior generations. Before Coach Patterson’s arrival on campus, TCU was 4-10-1 in bowl games dating back to it’s first bowl game, a 1936 Sugar Bowl victory over LSU.
TCU’s overall bowl record of 11-13-1 is not impressive. But, there is no liar like a statistician. (OK…“liar” is a bit strong.) Since Coach Patterson came to TCU in 1998, TCU is 7-3 in bowl games, 5-3 with him as head coach. We haven’t lost a bowl game since we lost to you folks in the 2003 Fort Worth Bowl, 6 seasons and 5 bowl games ago. (I can still hear the long, game-tying field goal attempt clanging off the upright as time expired.)
But, Bob’s thought is right on…if the games were only relevant in the dialogs, they wouldn’t play them.
Fear the Frog!
Where's the love
I’m disappointed to see that the nation has decided the Broncos (despite two undefeated seasons, a second BCS bowl game, and a victory against a higher ranked opponent than TCU has defeated) are looked at as outcast and undeserving of the right to play in the Fiesta Bowl, yet again. Even more disappointing seems to be the hype by TCU fans blasting BS as undeserving of evening stepping on the same field as them. The underdog label is fine, but it’s reaching a level of unfounded disrespect. Here’s what I know. TCU has not been to, nor won, a BCS bowl. Boise State has. Before they start hailing TCU as the National Champs maybe MWC fans and sports analysts alike would like to wait for the game. No doubt if/when Boise wins TCU will be blasted as a mere top 20 team that had everyone fooled, but if TCU were to win they’d be #2 in the nation. D bags. Play how you play and do what you do Boise and you have more than enough talent to win. Silence the critics, win, and let’s start next season #2 and hunting for the first non-AQ title bid.

Are You Reading the Same Stuff I'm Reading?
Phlipin…maybe I’m not reading the right material, but I haven’t seen anyone say that BSU is “…outcast and undeserving of the right to play in the Fiesta Bowl” except for you.
Exactly the opposite. The only complaints I’ve read have to do with the matchup. We both deserve to be playing teams from the pompous and overrated BCS conferences because we both would win. And the part about TCU fans "…blasting BS as undeserving of evening (I think you meant “even”) stepping on the same field as them…" is, 100%, your opinion. That is the first time I’ve ever seen that idea. Are you that concerned about Boise’s chances?
The only real concern I have about TCU has to do with our players believing their own propaganda about being the favorites and, thereby, overlooking a really good BSU team. But, I don’t think that will actually happen. Coach Patterson has trained them better than that. Your post is the first time I have seen anyone suggest that Boise didn’t deserve to be in the Fiesta Bowl.
Man, you must really be worried!
Do you know how to read?
Let me just start with this, I’m a Boise State fan stationed in South Carolina. So maybe my perspective is a little different than yours, but I doubt it. My guess is that you just pull information from this site and choose to be ignorant. Try expanding your horizons and reading the opinions of fans and analysts alike on other sites. I wouldn’t just write the above without being prompted to by the overwhelming nauseau I’ve suffered at the hands of some of the remarks I’ve seen in various blogs, articles, and commentaries. There’s nothing like having the seasons work of your team called into question by experts and fans of the team they’re playing against, calling Boise State suspect and stating that they merely had to dominate a weak confernce to get the bid. Anyone who has a problem with the matchup is oblivious to the fact that the body of work by these two teams over the last TWO seasons negates the need for them to play AQ teams. This is a matchup of the best two teams available during the selection process. If you disagree with what I write, or consider it to be some blown up opinion to breed discontent than just don’t read it. But don’t discount it as untrue until you’ve actually explored areas of opinion outside your own d bag. Quit trying to downplay the arrogance of some of your fans. You’re one voice, among many. I respect TCU (which is more than I can say about the way most MWC fans regard Boise) but I’m not concerned about them. I’m excited to see this game. I can only hope that individuals like you that feel the need to come on to a BOISE STATE site and try to debase the opinions of Boise fans would learn how to keep your mouth vomit to yourself unless a egregious err of fact is stated. I feel a great deal of disgust with regards to the apparent lack of respect for a fellow non-AQ program exhibited by SEVERAL comments regarding the dominance of TCU over Boise and the overall weakness of the WAC. Both the WAC and the MWC have placed 3 teams in BCS bowls, yet I still see biased comments posted saying that the WAC brings no competition to the table while your conference uses every WAC pifall to enhance its own image. Congratulations chief, several of the MWC fans are no better than the SEC fans that regard the MWC accomplishments as a joke. Thanks for the grammatical corrections, once again, tear down whatever you can to move focus from the actual concern. Saying that no one has stated the above written opinions is as narrow-minded as if I said EVERY MWC fan felt that way. Maybe if MWC fans acted as our equals and not our superiors I wouldn’t feel such disrespect from the opinions I’ve read (once again,not my opinions, but those of YOUR fans…expand your search).

I Know How To Read, I Just Don't Do A Whole Lot of It
Phlipin, you’re right. You’re reading a much broader selection of sources on the Fiesta Bowl than I am. I have not read much beyond my own limited area and this Boise State site. (I am on this site, by the way, because I found more quality discussion of the Fiesta Bowl matchup here than in the MWC blogs and because I want to be exposed to more than TCU homerism; I can produce more of that than I need.) In other discussions on this site, I have stated the respect I have for Boise State and its football program and how TCU needs to beware of the overblown predictions that are out there. And, as for the grammatical corrections, I’m a professional writer. I cannot read without unconsiously proofreading. My standard position is that I might know what I think you meant, but I might not know what you meant. Thus, when I wrote “I think you meant…” I was not tearing you down; I was giving you room to know what you meant and giving myself room to not know what you meant.
My post, while direct, meant no disrespect to you or the Boise State program, and not much disrespect to the WAC. Every conference, from the Pac-10, the Big 10, the Big 12, the SEC and on down the line, has its doormats. The MWC and WAC aren’t that far apart when it comes to competition or lack thereof. Air Force and BYU ain’t what they used to be, but they still scare me. Even Utah really fell off this year from the promise they showed last year. In the discussion “Is the Moutain West Conference Tougher Than We All Thought?” I have voiced my opinion that if Boise State were to join the MWC, we all would be improved. You and I, if I read your post(s) right, are in basic agreement in that discussion.
Boise State has an excellent program and I am aware that there are MWC fans and TCU fans that prefer to think of themselves as superior. Just as you, we are tired of the bogus BCS, holier-than-thou conferences and their illegal monopoly on bowl money. I try not to be one of those “superior” fans, with varying results. I do think that this year’s TCU football team is more talented than this year’s BSU team, but that may be because I don’t know enough about BSU. I was not aware until I read about them on this site, for instance, of Kellen Moore and Boise State’s #1 scoring offense.
So, again, I apologize for my ignorance. The first line in my previous post was “…maybe I’m not reading the right material..” That is exactly the case. You have, obviously, read more widely on the BSU/TCU matchup than I. Excuse me while I go off to educate myself.

No, No, No...
You can apologize when you’ve done something stupid. You’re just being a Bronco fan, in the same way I’m being a Frog fan. We are both proud alumni supporting our schools. I hadn’t looked and didn’t realize that you were a BSU alum until after your response to my initial post.
I’m the d bag; my initial post was a reaction to your “Where’s the Love” post without really examining what I had read. That’s what professionals do; it’s called research (that is directed at no one other than myself.) Other people call it looking before you leap. At least your post was a well-founded reaction to multiple inputs. My post was a knee-jerk (emphasis on the word jerk) reaction to something that I hadn’t experienced – not because it didn’t exist, but because I hadn’t left my cozy, little hole in the Internet.
As I said, I haven’t done any reading to speak of on the Fiesta Bowl aside from OBNUG and a little on the Mountain West Connection. I have seen some less-than-fair opinions expressed on ESPN and places like that, though. I’ve also seen/heard/read some pretty over-zealous TCU alumni, so I had a vague idea of what was bothering you.
I really haven’t even looked for other Fiesa Bowl discussions; OBNUG was the first one I found. After selection Sunday, I wanted to see if the Boise State crowd was as fed up with the BCS morons as I was. I found good, balanced discussion here laced with an appropriate amount of homerism. I was enjoying offering a dissenting opinion from time to time and not being rejected out-of-hand. You folks wanted to discuss the game, not just justify your own version of reality. I guess I should look more closely to find a Horned Frog site with a similar objective.
Anyhow, thank you for the acceptance on your very well done site. We’ll “talk” more and see how we might be able to get another BCS conference organized or get rid of the BCS system altogether. But, you know, it has been fun beating them using their own rules.
Fear the Frog!
I Found One That Might Be More To Your Liking
Happy New Year, Phlipin (and everyone).
I don’t agree with her conclusions, but I wanted to share with you the Web address of one Fiesta Bowl projection that I ran into this morning. Not everyone is predicting doom and gloom for the Broncos.

Thank you
And a little long-winded, as demonstrated by Loque’s response, which follows.
Fear the Frog!
I did read.
To stay on point and condense that amount of information is noteworthy. I note that this exchange would have been impossible a few short years ago.A lot had to be obtained and absorbed before it could be used in the bantering style you two adopted.

Akey is a d bag
Wow! I just read the Statesman article about U of I not using Boise State’s locker room (off topic). What a classic pile of scum. I was pulling for U of I (hello d bag, we’re from the same state/conference) but now I’m just disgusted at the small-mindedness of one man. I hope Idaho wins for the players and fans, but I also hope the Mr. A d Bag get’s smashed in the mouth for his anti-home state sentiments, it’s like poison to what may one day be a decent program. Dress in a porta-crapper for all I care, it’s where you belong.
