Reading Material
Questions that need answering
Will the Broncos take their foot off the pedal once the outcome is decided?
Boise State has developed somewhat of a reputation lately for not putting teams away when they have the chance. BSU wins, but they don't make it as convincing as it should be. With a soft opponent like the RedHawks and a national media skeptical of BSU's strength of schedule, winning on Saturday might be less a matter of being ahead when time runs out and more a matter of being ahead by how much.
How will Kyle Brotzman do from the left hash?
The left hash is Brotzman's kryptonite, much like defense and Nevada. If Brotzman gets the chance to make amends for last week's wide rights, will he pull through? Will changing holders from Michael Choate to Austin Pettis make that much of a difference?
Kellen Moore.
Sorry, that wasn't a question. I just couldn't help myself.
What will Boise State's red zone production be?
Last week, it was iffy at best. Against a much worse opponent on Saturday, expectations are that Boise State will score pretty much at will against the RedHawks. Will it be considered a disappointment if Boise State gets field goals instead of touchdowns when it nears the goalline? I say yes. The Broncos need to be hitting on all cylinders for next week's showdown at Fresno State, and settling for three when seven is well within reach simply won't do. I demand humiliating blowouts!
Can the defense pitch the shutout?
Admit it. A shutout has been on your mind ever since you saw the score of last week's Miami (OH) game. For that matter, can Boise State put a bigger hurting on the RedHawks than Kentucky's 42-0 whupping last Saturday? The defense will certainly be up to task, but there are so many fluky, funky ways to score in a football game that the odds of pitching a shutout are small. Still, you have to like Boise State's chances, especially if you watched any of that Oregon game.
What other questions are you wanting to have answered? Anything special you'll be watching on Saturday? Let's talk about it in the comments.

Boise State 49, Miami (OH) 14
I have looked at this game from every angle imaginable, and I simply cannot see a way that Miami comes away with a win, much less keeps it close. The Broncos are noticeably better in every phase of the game.
RedHawks might score one legitimate touchdown and one garbage time TD. Boise State could win by 60, but I don’t think they will.

O ye of little faith...
The Broncos defense wants the shutout and I believe are gunning for one. I have more faith right now in the defense than the offense so I’m not going to pick some astronomical beatdown. I honestly believe that the Broncos will score in the neighborhood of 35 and 45 points and the Redhawks will score in the neighborhood of 0 and 10 points. I also see lots of interceptions…lots.
Boise State 41, Redhawks 0
Broncos 45 Redhawks 3
One of the biggest changes in the program is depth and I don’t seeing much of a letdown from the D in the 4th quarter. Even the garbage time defense will have guys like Jason Robinson, Cedric Febis, Garcia Day.
Coach Pete does let up from the gas pedal much earlier than Hawk, but I expect at least 35 of those points to come in the first half.

52-0
New Mexico State Style! Utah State Style! Or even Sacramento State Style!
Boise State - The best in all the land (The "land" being Idaho, and large parts of California, Oregon, and Nevada.)
Domination
Broncos 45 – Redhawks 6
Broncos will dominate in every facet of the game. I’m predicting a shutout through three quarters. When all the second and third stringers are in during the fourth quarter, the Redhawks might get lucky with a couple field goals.
Watch out BCS...one day Boise State will be National Champs.
BSU 49 - M(OH) 0
The defense is no longer “bend, don’t break.” I don’t predict, I expect, a shutout.

Man!
I could have swore someone else chose 48-0. I was mad that Brotzman’s 116 consecutive extra point kicks was snapped for more than one reason!
But, I won anyway… YEAH!

If it wasn't for that INT
and Brotzman’s missed PAT, I would have won. Oh well…
Ridonkulous!

Sticking with my first prediction 56-0
I don’t see the defense getting much of a challenge. If they can hold Oregon to 8 points and just over 150 yard, how can Miami “of the North” have a chance? Offense will be much improved over last week. They will have the miscues all cleaned up and they won’t be facing a fairly decent PAC-10 defense. Not a good day to be a RedHawk fan, 0 points in two games. Umm, the Ram has good burgers! My mouth is already watering!
Ridonkulous!
C'mon y'all, grow a pair!
I’m predicting utter domination and annihilation and subjucation. BSU thoroughly kicks the posterior of each and every Redhawk out there.
BSU-63
Miami (OH)-0
I hate everyone equally...especially Vandals!
Gonna get ugly for the RedHawks...
Are RedHawks communist coaches for Colorado schools?
Boise State’s defense will be stout. The offense will be polished after the fumble fest. And Hout will let his play do the talking.
Boise State – 55
Miami (Ohio) – 3

BSU (ID) 41 - 3 Miami (OH)
I see the offense rolling for 3 quarters and then focusing on the run to control the clock the rest of the game. I think Coach Pete gives Brotz the chance to kick a FG or two to try out Pettis’ holding skills (the non-penalized kind) and to give Brotz come confidence early in the season. Miami will try and surprise us. Maybe a trick play gets them a big chunk of yards, but then they settle for a FG after they see how angry the last play made JJ.
Boise State, 52-3
Offense is rolling. Defense is solid. Miami (OH) gets a field goal late. However, I’d love to be wrong. About the field goal part.

Questions about offensive turnovers
Boise State – 35
Miami (Ohio) – 6
I love the colors Orange and Blue. Go Broncos!!! Go Titans!!!
BSU - 56 Miami (Ohio) - 10
And that is being generous… But I am a generous fan.
Defense will pick up where it left off
There should have been a duck shutout and there will be this week. Last week, ducks ate crow and this week, we eat lamb…sacrifical lamb.
59-0. Players will want to top Kentucky.

BSU 55 - Miami 0
I like seven BSU touchdowns and Brotzman goes 2 for 2.

38-3
I was really impressed by Boise State’s defense last week but I don’t really know what to think of your offense yet.
I wish you were playing the other Miami, though OH has a far deeper history that actually exists prior to 1980.
Sorry if that seemed like a jab
It was a jab, but Miami FL was the intended target, not Boise State.
Since Ya'll Predict A High Score
I’ll go with a low score, because the only thing predictable about college ball, is the unpredictability.
Broncos – 27
Red Hawks – 6
Yeh, I really think it will be more like 45-3, but unless Miami proves to be stronger than I think they are, I look for this game to be more of a scrimmage for BSU. Will it get boring watching Avery and Harper practice their run game for three quarters? Will Carlo Audagnotti get a carry? A lot of backup players should get some game experience in this one.

56-7 good guys

Coach Pete January 1, 2007
I gotta feelin...
That tomorrows gonna be a good night, 38-3. Kyle Wilson gets his first pick. We see multiple d-line sacks and Jeron Johnson ends someones life
Hope I'm wrong and it's a bigger @ss Whooping but...
Boise State – 44
Miami – 10
Yes, I know I predicted Boise State will cover the spread…but this is the score I’m feeling…here’s hoping I’m a little better this week than last (BSU 37, UO 27)….
If playing in blue uniforms on a blue field is an unfair advantage, then isn't wearing green uniforms on a green field also an unfair advantage?
Boise State 42, Miama (OH) O
I’m thinkin its going to look about like Miami Ohio vs. Kentucky last week. Boys in blue will once again dominate both sides of the ball. Poor, poor redhawks.

Scoreboard!
Boise State – 186
Miami Ohio – 0
Someday I hope to look in a mirror and see something special... something like a coach pete protoge'.
Gotta stick with my prediction of total points......
Boise State – 56
Miami (OH) – 3
My heart says shutout, but I didn’t exactly like our kickoff coverage against Oregon. Miami (OH) gets a field goal on a three-and-out after a 70-yard kickoff return down to the 20. Put that in your book! (preferably in pencil…..)
No way the defense will let them score
BSU- 45
Miami of Ohio- 0
I have a feeling that the offense will be pretty flawless.

the spread is 36 1/2 points
kentucky beat them 42-0. bsu 49, miami of ohio 10. i just want to say that boise state is the best covering team in the nation the last 11years including bowl games. nobody is even close. indiana univesity is the worst and it’s not even close. here is for an undefeated season. one intersting sidenote. fresno state is getting 8 1/2 points against wisconsin. the badgers did not look to good against northern illinois. plus many of their players have that flu that is going around. hopefully fresno can win that game and give the wac a good out of confernce win. ramble on!
