GameThread: Oregon Ducks at Boise State Broncos
Oregon Ducks at Boise St. Broncos, Sep 3, 2009 7:15 PM PDT
Whether you're watching the game from your couch, following along nervously on your computer, or going deaf at or near Bronco Stadium, you can comment all night long here in the open GameThread for BSU vs. Oregon. Let's talk about the playcalling, second guess the penalties, vent about failed drives, and cheer every Bronco big play.
If you're into Twitter, we've got that covered, too. Just add #bsufootball to your Tweets, and they'll show up in a widget after the jump. Isn't technology fun?
It's game time. It's about time. Go Broncos! See you in the comments.

Woo...the suspense is killing me
Haven’t gotten anything done at work today, will be departing shortly for the bar. AHHHHHHHH GO BRONCOS
Please hurry up and start
This NCSU/USC game is awful.
As a resident of Charlotte, North Carolina (which straddles the border of both states involved), I would just like to apologize for the ugly display. I don’t really care about either team, having grown up in Florida, but it’s the least I can do. It’s that bad.

I mean,
It’s great because it’s the first game since January but I’m ready to see some blue turf on my tv.
Hey guys
Washington Huskies fan here. I’ve decided to join in here tonight to cheer on the Broncos. Hoping you can deliver Oregon the beatdown they deserve.

Good stop there on the 3-and-out.

Moore's been very impressive so far.

Kellen Moore is quickly becoming my favorite non-Husky player.

Gah, hold on to the ball guys.

I keep cringing every time I see the ball on the ground! First game jitters for them perhaps?
I hate everyone equally...especially Vandals!
Field goal.
Still a hugely successful drive—chewed up clock and wore the defense down.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
Come on Brotz!
Nice job driving all the way down the field but they’ve got to tighten the scews near the goal line. And Brotzman, what was that!?!
Watch out BCS...one day Boise State will be National Champs.
Okay, try not to fumble the ball this time. And actually make a field goal, please?
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
Brotzman?
keep that bs away, make the damn fg. Moore is lookin to repeat last years performance and then some
Running game isn't getting much traction so far.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
It's important to point how just how hideous the Ducks unis are....again.

They're just not getting anything going on the run today.

did they get this craptastic officiating crew???

Are you serious? 2 missed FG?
Grrr….
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
The defense has been spectacular so far.
Time for the offense to step up, especially in the red zone.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
A terrible punt there will help their cause.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
Looks like...
…Oregon is trying to impose somewhat of a passing game on the Bronco D. So far that part of the game is going about as I expected.
I hate everyone equally...especially Vandals!
yeah, that was a helmet-to-helmet personal foul
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
I don't think it was...
…but a penalty should’ve been called since Moore was sliding.
I hate everyone equally...especially Vandals!
Hooray, free yards!
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
I can't watch the game live...
so I’m a UW fan coming over to cheer you on…I’m also on the ATQ live thread getting there take. Is it as bad as it seems right now for UO
All I have is stupid ESPN game cast

Hoping we give LSU all we’ve got!
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
Oregon offense can’t do anything, BSU gets sloppy in the red zone, and has missed two field goals, but is moving the ball very well.
Pretty much
BSU’s defense has been awesome, but the Broncos can’t close the deal in the red zone.

In that case, you’re probably screwed, unfortunately. Sorry, dude.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
That was awesome.
QB draw on 2-point conversion, and the defense doesn’t even touch him. I heart Peterson.

Ahahahaha f*** the Ducks

Aaaaaaand another 3-and-out
This is amazing.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
I was never high on Masoli anyway.
Most Duck fans think he’s the next Dennis Dixon, but I don’t see it. He doesn’t have the running ability of Dixon, and doesn’t look as comfortable in the pocket. Is always looking for the long bomb instead of the high-percentage pass.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
ATQ is calling for Costa already...
I think Masoli is overrated as it is…All you guys have seen them both so I’ll pose you the question. Locker or Masoli?
Locker in a heartbeat.
We’ve never seen his full potential under Ty Willingham. He is easily the most physically gifted athlete in the Pac-10
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
Agreed
Locker by a country mile. I mean, Stephen Garcia looked better tonight than Masoli is looking now.

also...when you guys win
I’ll hop on the Kellen Moore Heisman Bandwagon! This kid isn’t amazing physically, but he’s got the best head of any QB in the land right now.
Ha, beat me to it.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
THIS IS WHY YOU NEVER RUN AN OPTION PLAY BACKED UP IN YOUR END ZONE WHAT WAS KELLY THINKING?
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
7 total yards for Oregon. That is hilarious.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
I thought Tony Franklin was suppose to be the greatest spread option coach in CFB?
I believe in Posey.
Yeah, it's definitely Meyer
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
Actually it’s Jim Tressel, but he hides it well. How did you think Troy Smith won the Heisman?

I thought all Big 10 schools signed a contract agreeing to never run a play out of the shotgun.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
In all seriousness, the Big Ten is where a good bit of shotgun spread came from. Joe Tiller at Purdue was a pioneer, and Meyer learned half of what he knows about the spread from the late Randy Walker and Kevin Wilson (now OC at Oklahoma) when they were at Northwestern.
Team Speed Kills
SBNation's SEC Blog
I remember when Purdue was a great offensive school with Tiller at HC and Drew Brees and The Neck Beard at QB.
I believe in Posey.
The Neck Beard was really good at Purdue
I have this bad habit of looking at guys in college and saying, “he’s going to be a star in the NFL.” I did with Rex Grossman, I did with Neck Beard, hell, I even did it with Ron Dayne. Silly me.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
That's interesting.
The Big 10+1 gets this reputation as a boring, run-between-the-tackles-every-time conference, but it’d be interesting to see what Rich Rodriguez can do with his spread system at Michigan.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
The big Televen
won’t know what hit them. On the real though, Rich Rod is done if they go less than 8-4.

And I'm not a huge BSU fan...
I just really want you guys to crash the NC Game. The BCS is a pile of S*** and it needs to change, and your high enough preseason to get it done.
And I Fu*king hate Oregon.
Dunno about anyone else, but...
I’m not too big on the white sections in the stadium.
I hate everyone equally...especially Vandals!
HOLY SHIT BROTZMAN MADE A FG
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
I love how Oregon hates Boise St. and wants revenge from last year, but they are losing.
I believe in Posey.
I love how Oregon
looks completely lost right now. Bodes well if they lose this and then follow it up with a shocker at Purdue that they’ll blow the rest of the Sked.
Masoli has terrible accuracy

KEEP IT GOING BRONCOS
BOISE
STATE!!!!
See? Even East Coast guys are united in their hate against Oregon.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
I lived in Grants Pass for 5 years.
About half the people there were divided in loyalties between UO and OSU. Myself, I just sat on my little UW island until I finally moved back to Washington friendly grounds.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
No doubt...
I lived in Salem for about a year or so, it was mostly Beavs but the occasional Duck fan would crawl out and give me crap.
All my Family is from Eugene so they’re all ducks, I hate the place (mostly because of the hippies).
At least there's actually things to do in Eugene.
Corvallis is a complete shithole. If I was born and raised in Oregon, I’d probably root for the Ducks just on that fact alone.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
I don't hate Oregon, and I'm not on the East Coast
I just can’t dislike BSU.
sorry.
Still got another half to go. texas started like this vs Texas Tech last year. Keep it going Broncos.
OU started like this
against BSU last year.
Here’s hoping Chris Pete doesn’t pull out the prevent d again.
For me, I don’t hate Oregon (though their fans were horrible at the 2007 Sweet 16). I’ve just liked BSU since I discovered them back in ‘02 or so. Great colors, great idea with the blue turf, and a quarterback named “Dinwiddie.” What’s not to like?

I always like the underdog
and Petersen is one of the best coaches in America (I wish UW would have made a push for him last winter).
But as a UW fan I loathe the Ducks and frankly quite a few of their fans are really rude and feel entitled since they have now had 15 years of sports success.
Surprisingly...
….a penalty-free game for the most part. What? Like only 4 penalties, 3 of which are on Oregon. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.
I hate everyone equally...especially Vandals!
so what is the best stat?
15 first downs to 0
185 total yards to 14
24:10 time of possession to 5:50
Man, you guys should be up at least 21-0
Probably 24-0. Lots of blown chances. That worries me a bit.

If BSU wins,
there’ll be a large wailing and gnashing of teeth from out towards the west and then we’ll read about mass hari-kiri in Eugene.

Revenge...what revenge!
The Ducks can’t even get a first down…go back to Eugene and cry in your “Duck Soup”!!! The Broncos just can’t be stopped…LET’S GET IT STARTED!!!!!!
Nice pass. Broncos can't be stopped on 3rd down.

The slant routes is what kills me on that game.

I can usually check out of those if they are covered, but the floater passes over LBs…I have no idea whether the defender will fly 5 feet into the air or not.
The running game seems to have more oomph now.

They're
hovering at right around 4% of their total offensive output from last year right now…that stat makes me all tingly inside.
Oh, nice bounce there.

Hopefully that noggin-knocker on that punt won't give Oregon any life on O. But I gotta admit...I laughed when it happened.

Keep attacking the QB!

Oh boy.
Let’s hope this isn’t a momentum shifter.

Why do you have to get so cute sometimes, Peterson?

Don’t use the godforsaken Prevent D!

What do you think? Was that intentional or not?
Watch out BCS...one day Boise State will be National Champs.
You think it was a bad snap?
I don’t know, it looked like Peterson was trying to be too creative for his own good.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
Sorry, did I spell the coach's name wrong?
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
Bad Snap
Maybe it’s just me, but that did not look like a designed fake. Especially from someone as good at designing them as Peterson is.
Yeah, this has been terrible so far.
Neither team wants to win this game.

Alright Broncos,
keep doing what you’ve been doing best all game. Don’t go with the soft prevent, just attack Masoli and beat around the O-line like red-headed step-children. For the love of God don’t get complacent.

here’s hoping for a 13-0 season and that Tebow, McCoy, Bradford and Barkely/Corp all go down with injuries. Take care.
Congratulations guys!
Here’s to a BCS berth for you.

WHAT A DICK!!
Great game Boise. You whooped our asses. I apologize for that jerk. I hope he is kicked out of the program for good. I am sorry for that terrible display… Completely unacceptable. Hope you have a great year!!
On behalf of the Oregon Ducks
I want to apologize for Blunt being an a-hole.
Congrats guys, ugly game but you earned it.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I'll take the sloppy win
Sloppy, but our defense won the game for us. Kellen needs to do some extra ‘no-fumbling-drills’. Blount needs to be suspended for the season and/or put in jail.
I think he's gone
And you know what, Oregon doesn’t need him.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Sorry Boise
That fool does not represent me or my state. I am disgusted and appalled. I cant say enough how disgusted I am.
Tail between my legs
Great game you guys. The better team (or, at least, the more prepared) team won.
Sorry about Blount. He’s gotta be off the team now. Coach Kelly’s gonna have nothing of that.
Thanks for being a gracious blog over here, I like you guys.
Take it easy, live it up, enjoy the night.

WTF!
What kind of shit was that! Blount should be done for good….and they complained about some late hits from us last year! What a flippin’ A-HOLE! Then he has to fight his own guys…get real….I would love to see them haul his ass to the ADA County jail!
Well played!
Though in all fairness, our TZR, LaMichael James, was doing pretty well the very few times he touched it. Good for him, he’ll be getting more reps now you know!
Addicted To Quack [dot] com; Six-hundred and ninety-four yards of total offense.
oh also
you guys were much cleaner during the game then I might have expected given last year. So you definitely get good guy points for that.
Yeah, for that I am somewhat proud.
Though it’s hard to leave with anything but a bad taste in your mouth about your team after that event.
Addicted To Quack [dot] com; Six-hundred and ninety-four yards of total offense.
Clean game except for the end
Thanks to the ducks not going for any cheap shots during the game, I think all players but Blount were classy.
Blount should definitely be booted.
A Great Win For Your Program
You completely dominated Oregon the first half. Extremely impressive. @nd half was sloppy, but a W is a W, no matter how you got it!
On behalf of the Oregon State fans, let me say that although we didn’t like losing in Boise, I am a believer in the Smurf Turf Curse.
What can you say about Blount? Somebody needed to shoot him with a tranquilizer dart. One of the worst displays of unsportsmanlike behavior I have ever witnessed. A disgrace to the state of Oregon.
Ship his a$$ back to the rock they pulled him out from under. If he isn’t kicked off the team, there is no justice. Will the Ducks have the ball$ to do it, don’t hold your breath.
Anyway, terrifc win. GO BRONCOS!
They will have said balls.
Addicted To Quack [dot] com; Six-hundred and ninety-four yards of total offense.
Blount is EASILY the biggest bitch i've seen
clean game until that… disgusting display.
great win for the Big Blue!!
Thank you, Nick Adenhart. You will always be remembered. #34
You guys deserved to win
Had Oregon pulled it out, it would have been because you gave it away, well done and F-k Blunt. As an Oregon fan, he is dead to me.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
+1 on giving it away
i was screaming at my TV the entire 2nd half. sloppy, sloppy football out there. i was afraid of a repeat of last year’s 4th quarter.

you came out and and knocked us around. Flat out kicked our arses, and nobody can make any excuses.
FWIW, we all hope Blount gets kicked off the team for that. It doesn’t represent us, and we won’t put up with it.

BSU is a great program. You guys kicked our asses.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Bull crap
you don’t really want that…with as much as you all have talked him up, you aren’t anything without him. He actually is the epitome of your team, according to your fans…guess you all were right…had to watch out for him…just didn’t know it was the cheap shots!
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?
