PrintThe Boise State Broncos made amends for last year's loss to Nevada with a thorough 30-10 win on Saturday. The Bronco D had 12 tackles for loss and held the Wolf Pack over 200 yards below their season average. Doug Martin picked up the slack for the Bronco O with 100 yards and two scores on a rare Kellen Moore off day. Chris Ault looked completely helpless. It was fun times all around.
Feel free to leave your thoughts on the game in the comments.
Game recap
A twenty-point margin did not do justice to the gap between Boise State and Nevada on Saturday.
The Wolf Pack offense was outmatched at every position and didn't cross midfield until the second half. Apart from two garbage-time drives, Nevada never threatened.
Boise State had opportunities aplenty on offense, and were it not for several misses in the passing game, the score could have been far more lopsided. The Broncos got the running game working better than it has all year, led by Doug Martin's 130 yards and two scores on 22 carries.
From the game's opening Nevada possession, you just had the feeling that Nevada QB Tyler Lantrip was not going to be good enough to challenge the Broncos. And with zero threat from the Wolf Pack, the game seemed over almost before it began. 30-10 may not have been the complete and total evisceration that Bronco fans wanted, but seeing Nevada struggle to move the ball sure was cathartic. Perhaps more importantly than the final score, Saturday's game reminded us that Boise State follows great seasons with more great seasons and Nevada doesn't enjoy the same luxury. That difference alone is enough to make me feel better about things.
Knee-jerk reactions
That was a WAC officiating crew if I ever saw one (update: Those were actually MWC officials, so yikes) ... I don't really want next week to become a Kellen Moore Knee Crisis, so let me say that I don't think any of his problems were knee-related. He just made some poor decisions, threw some poor balls, and didn't get much help from his receivers ... When did Shea McClellin become Clay Matthews? Man, that guy is versatile and really good ... What a performance by the Bronco defense for 59 minutes and 14 seconds ... Call me crazy, but I enjoyed the Versus presentation, probably because I've seen too many games on the WAC Sports Network ... Quiet day for Tyler Shoemaker, which makes me think that may have been part of Nevada's gameplan ... The loss of Jerrell Gavins didn't seem to hurt the Broncos at all ...
Boy, if Jamar Taylor could catch ... Coach Pete will have a lot of areas to be displeased with, but as a fan, I think I feel better after this game than I did after the Tulsa or Toledo ones ... It's nice having Chase Baker healthy ... Boise State continues to win the battle of field position, which I think says a lot about the improvement of their special teams coverage ... Dan Goodale, everybody! Kicking 1.000! ... One of Tyler Lantrip's many problems: Wearing gloves on both hands ...

That was way fun.
Doug looked great. Too bad that big run got called back, it was gorgeous. Kellen had an off day, finally. I’m glad it came right here. The crowd did us proud. They were really loud when it counted. Defense and special teams were both amazing. Those boys deserve the #3 ranking, at least.

That run would have put him over 200 yards rushing
It still won’t take away from his talent he showed, though. And you can guarantee pro scouts will still see that run.

#3?
I’d say more like #25. The defense played well, the front 7 were good enough we never saw whether or how much they might miss Gavins, but that’s about it. Credit Doug Martin for being a great runner, but that doesn’t make this a running team. The Nevada front four spent as much time in the BSU backfield as Martin did.
This was a terribly played game. The defense was good enough that we can’t tell whether it was against a terrible team, but it didn’t hurt that they couldn’t find the handle on the ball.
This makes me (almost) wish BSU would lose a game or two, just to be spared the embarrassment of being destroyed by an actual top 5 team in a major bowl.
BW you...
Get off this freaking site. Your obviously a Vandal fan. There is a difference between constructive criticism and the crap you just spewed. This team might not be as good as they were last year but they are still a top ten team. If they started to show they execution and effort that is expected of them, they will be one of the best teams in the country. Like I said, you are either a Vandal or bandwagon fan, because no real fan would ever hope their team loses.

Not even close
I’ve got t-shirts going back to before the Big Sky. Crap or constructive? The fact is it was a terribly played game, compensated only by the fact that Nevada was worse. That was not a top ten performance, it was not a top 25 performance, and pretending it was is the least constructive thing one can do.
And I said almost, after all. If this team goes into a major bowl and plays like it did today, it will make Hawaii’s Sugar bowl game against Georgia look like a victory.
I really don't give a frick if your Lyle Smith himself...
No real fan would ever hope his team loses a game. As for today’s performance, I have already said that we will be beat by LSU or Alabama, if they play like they did today. The fact is though, this is a top ten team, and if they can start to execute to their full potential, they are as good as any team in the country.
I am the BSU Guru. I know everything and anything about BSU, just ask me. Although I may need a minute…and an internet connection.
IF
they execute to their full potential, which they did not. Not even close. With the exception of the defensive front, but it’s hard to say how much credit to give that because Nevada couldn’t even execute handoffs effectively.
Go ahead an watch the game again, if you have it recorded, and see how many times Nevada’s front four blows past Boise’s O-line. Martin had some great runs because he’s a great runner, but he did it mostly on his own and always to the outside. This O-line got beat, got beat badly, and got beat consistently. That is not the hallmark of a top 10 team, and pretending otherwise might earn loyalty points, but it is not constructive.
Not that there’s anything either of us can do. But I can virtually guarantee this will not be a pleasant week for a player to listen to BSU’s coaches.
No, I don't think it will be a fun week for the players...
What I was saying though, and what you have agreed with, is that they are a top 5 team if they execute to their full potential. I agree they haven’t played like one the past few weeks, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t one. What I take exception to though, is a Bronco fan acting like a bandwagoner and saying that we should lose so we don’t get embarrassed in a bowl game. I guarantee by the end of the season, the coaches will have these trivial problems fixed, and we will be firing on all cylinders.
I am the BSU Guru. I know everything and anything about BSU, just ask me. Although I may need a minute…and an internet connection.
Okay
So we do agree. And IF BSU could run the ball the way I assumed they would on the first, second, third, and fourth games, I think this team could beat anybody, especially LSU (against whom I think BSU matches up very well) and Alabama and especially Oklahoma.
Martin and Harper are the equal of any runners in the country – and IF BSU could run for 3, 5, 7 yards on first down as it appears they should be able to, then that would free up Moore to throw when he wants to instead of when he has to, and I just don’t see any team in the nation stopping that.
HOWEVER, the one thing that will knock this program back worse than anything else is to finish its (perceived weak) schedule unbeaten, get a major team matchup and get blown out, because it will just give that much more ammunition to the haters, and make their arguments that much more persuasive. If this team is going to continue to play so far below their potential, I’d much rather see them win a Poinsettia Bowl against Arizona State than get blown out on a national stage.
I would rather they were undefeated and in a BCS bowl game...
I just think they tend to play to the level of their opponents. Remember the UC Davis game in 2009? The Oregon, Virginia Tech, TCU, and Georgia games? Also, give Coach Pete a month to prepare and he will beat any team in the country. Lastly, as long as Pete is the coach, I don’t see us getting blown out by anybody.
I am the BSU Guru. I know everything and anything about BSU, just ask me. Although I may need a minute…and an internet connection.
Excuse me for interrupting, but could you please clarify 2 points for me?
You said “one thing that will knock this program back worse than anything else is to finish its (perceived weak) schedule unbeaten, get a major team matchup and get blown out, because it will just give that much more ammunition to the haters, and make their arguments that much more persuasive.”
1) isn’t it true that haters will find ammunition anywhere and everywhere, and 2) that those that are weak minded will be persuaded whichever way wind is blowing? bandwagon fans are a perfect example of this last point, and SEC is a perfect example of the first point.
With that at the forefront of my mind, it would seem that we should either fold now and never ever try to get to a NCG because of the haters and the easily persuaded, or we should continue to try to the utmost of our ability because there will always be the naysayers and it is we, the folks of Bronco Nation, that should most definitely be standing beside our student athletes throughout their quest for a Championship.
DIdaho, where do you stand?

Where I stand
is that fans of Boise State should not fall into the stereotype that is given them, and claiming that this performance means BSU should be #3 falls straight into that. This was not a good performance, it is exactly what the haters claim we should hail – an okay game against a team that played poorly.
That was not true against Georgia – although BSU did not get a lot of yards on the ground, the O-line played well against a very good defensive team. They did not play well today, they got beat repeatedly, nor did the receivers give Moore the support he needed. Moore throws the ball to where the receivers are supposed to be, and they weren’t there.
What galls the haters is not that BSU is a good team – they’re willing to grant that. It’s that their fans are adamant about things they shouldn’t be – that they are blind supporters who ignore facts, claim BSU’s strength of schedule is better than it is, and thereby hand the “ammunition” straight to them.
The way to the NCG is to prove that BSU belongs there, and they did not do that today. Waving the flag and “standing beside our student athletes” does not change that. The saving grace may be that most voters (coaches, AP, and Heisman) probably didn’t watch the game and will only see that BSU comfortably defeated a team that hung with Texas Tech and beat BSU last year.
But hey, they did make a field goal. That’s progress.
I’m just being honest, and calling it as I see it. I see a team that could win a National Championship. And I saw a team today that could not have beaten Arkansas or Oklahoma State.

But I’m pretty sure the original post was saying the D should have the “star #3” at least, referring to obnug, not any ranking… at least that’s how I took it… but anyway to respond to u I do agree this was a mediocre performance in many areas…but you have to admit that even with what u call bad o-line play without the drops and Kellen having 1 of his worst games we would’ve put up 20 more

is this a response to me reveling in the win?
I do think BSU is the #3 team right now. No, they didn’t play there yesterday. I’ll give Kellen one imperfect game and not drop them under teams like Oklahoma St and Arkansas, who I think Boise’s D would take to the woodshed.

Really...
He said that Boise State should lose to stop from being embarrassed in a bowl game. I usually pretty reasonable with dissenting opinions, that was just taking things a little bit to far.
I am the BSU Guru. I know everything and anything about BSU, just ask me. Although I may need a minute…and an internet connection.
I did...
His argument was that Boise State was not a top 5 team. We agreed in the end that they are a top 5 team that is not playing up to it’s full potential.
I am the BSU Guru. I know everything and anything about BSU, just ask me. Although I may need a minute…and an internet connection.
Which, I suggest
means I am neither a troll nor expressing dumb opinions. I’ll stick with my heresy – this program would be better off in the long run losing to a good Fresno State, Air Force or TCU team and moving on than trying to carry the crown of the BCS buster and losing 50-3 to LSU. Does that mean I want them to lose? Of course not. Neither I, nor my spouse, nor my dog would be happy with a BSU loss (my dog suffers the most, I think – when I’m upset he thinks it’s because of him.)
But just because I’m dyed blue doesn’t mean I’m going to fawn over a team so much that I’ll proclaim them as NC caliber when they can’t show it. I’m looking for that team they have but haven’t shown (except at Georgia) – the team that pushes the defensive line off the ball, that has more than one dimension, that comes together as a package and defies the WAC stereotype of relying on a great quarterback.
I think their defense fits that bill, so far. Now it’s up to the rest of them.

why do you say this?
His point is that losing to Fresno State would have the same exact effect that last year's Nevada game had...
If we were to get blown out by LSU, though, people would forever use that to prove we’re not legitimate. The point is valid. I, personally, don’t think there is anyway we get blown out by anybody, though. We tend to play to the level of our competition.
I am the BSU Guru. I know everything and anything about BSU, just ask me. Although I may need a minute…and an internet connection.
Losing to Fresno would have had the same effect as losing to Nevada.
And people are going to have reasons for us to be legitimate or not. who cares.
Let's just not lose a game and we won't have to worry about it :)
I am the BSU Guru. I know everything and anything about BSU, just ask me. Although I may need a minute…and an internet connection.
I say that
because I’ve been rooting for and supporting Boise State since watching Jim McMillan from the wooden bleachers. What Boise State has built is the tradition of a great program, and people don’t hate them because they’re good, they hate them because so many of their fans are perceived to have become pretenders.
Building a program and a tradition is not the success of any one team. It is a process, and in the environment of the BCS, the coaches, the sportswriters and the commentators, it is something that is built over many years.
But in the television culture, it is also something that can be lost overnight.
If you set yourself up as the next great star, but finish fourth in American Idol, you could still be a great singer but be perceived as just the guy who lost big. BSU is a good team that can be a great team – the best team – the one that can finally crack this stupid “major program, major conference” bias.
But claiming a bad performance is a great one will not win any fans. And insisting that it is will only alienate those who aren’t as biased as we are (and I am).
I’ve been in this for the long haul, and I’m in it for the same. I thought this years’ team was the one, and I think it still could be. But it won’t be if they let defensive lines bully them, and I’m not going to scream how great this team is when they don’t prove it, and I honestly think that doing so just gives “ammunition” to those who claim we’re blind.

Nobody is claiming this was a great performance...
On the other hand, nobody else is claiming we should give up on the season and start losing games because we had a few mediocre games. Yes, we couldn’t beat LSU with the performance we had today. That’s doesn’t mean we can’t fix the mistakes and start firing on all cylinders before the season ends.
I am the BSU Guru. I know everything and anything about BSU, just ask me. Although I may need a minute…and an internet connection.
Agreed
But note the comment to which I responded: “Those boys deserve the #3 ranking, at least.”
Not from today. I never said anything different. Of course they can fix the mistakes. Of course they can be the team they can be, should be, by season’s end.
We should give up on the season? We should start losing games? I never said that. I never hope that, I’d never want that.
What I did say, and stand by, is that however ineffectual our opinions as fans might be, claiming a poor performance against a bad team entitles us to some great ranking plays straight into the stereotype that the program has to avoid if we want the legitimate respect that this program deserves.
you said we would be better off losing to fresno etc
Cause LSU would blow us out in a bowl…so you day we should lose a game, right?

Will.
Not should. Will. If BSU plays for the season like they did today, they will lose to Fresno. They will lose to Air Force. They will lose to TCU. If it’s going to happen, better that it happen early, for the program. Take the big loss off the table. Nevada played horribly. You don’t get to the NCG by assuming your opponents will fumble four handoffs.
This was not a good game. Claiming it was it just blind devotion. I have that. You probably do. Others do not. They won’t look at this game and think Boise should be at least #3.
You don’t play sloppy against poor opponents and earn brownie points. Claiming you can is exactly what the haters believe. Don’t buy it. But don’t buy the hype. What this team can be is not the same as what this team is.
I don’t know whether anyone at BSU reads this board. I suspect not. But if they did, do you want to tell today’s team that they were great, that they’re a national championship team? You want them to buy into that, feel good about themselves, when they finished a game that’s not as well executed as TCU’s loss against SMU today? Do you think that is going to convince a South Carolina fan to support BSU after they lost today to Auburn, that BSU is a better team? You want them watching that tape?
It was a bad game, poorly played, with a victory because the other team was worse. That’s all. I want better, I expect better, and I know they are better. But I’m not going to exclaim this team will win just because I believe they have some right to.

I dont care if we are ranked 3, or 4, or 5,
the fact of the matter is that we are a damn good team and unfortunetley we play inferior competition and have to dissect how badly we beat out opponents instead of playing opponents that are as good as us. The makeup of college football is what it is, and we get to go to a BCS game if we run the table this year.
Some people thought Fresno State had a chance last year and we saw how that worked out. I don’t think TCU or Air Force will come close to beating us and I want to see how good we can do in SEC country against LSU or Bama. I cannot guarantee a win, but I can guarantee that we will not get blown out. On a Kellen Moore off day filled with dropped passes, dropped picks, and questionable calls we still blew out our opponent, bottom line.
Boise State is 38-2 in my 3 years of college.

don't give an inch when arguing semantics. Words are what people live by.
Words have meaning. He meant what he wrote and has defended it repeatedly on this thread. He said “would be better off” and you are absolutely correct when you say it implies Should, not Will. He needs to own up to that statement.
Everyone here knows that was a poor performance for our offense. That does not mean we would be better off losing now to Fresno. It means our offense better step it up, or play to the level of our opponent (which in my view is risky business), or we will lose to a team that plays better on offense than we do during that particular game.

When, exactly,
was the defense playing poorly? We held Nevada to under 200 total yards when Oregon allowed over 500…offense was off but the other two phases played LIGHTS OUT….

So the defense fits the bill BUT
They would let LSU hang half a hundred on them? That doesn’t compute! The defense was OUTSTANDING! Also the offense put up an easy 35 on Georgia and at least 40 on Tulsa and Toledo. They had one bad day…
Why would LSU do so well against BSU and only score 19 on Mississippi State? I think you just pay more attention to BSU so you see all of their flaws and none of the other top 5 teams….

I definitely don’t think that Boise State is playing as bad as people are making it out to be. Yeah, they’re struggling with certain aspects right now and not playing up to their normal level of excellence, but they are still blowing teams out and dominating them.

BSU terrifies me if I am going to play them this year
They crush the life out of you even when they make lots of mistakes. Another game that was never in doubt…like the last 2 and the first one after the first half. You don’t seem to get that the best teams win the games they are supposed to win easily and the tough games with great effort.
Chris Ault truly looked helpless…and that was worth it.
I will root for Alabama or Ohio State when they play the Chinese...maybe.
definitely was hoping for the devastation to show up in the final score
but a win’s a win.
the defense played out of their minds for (almost) the whole game. great showing by the D-Line, especially.
Brad Elkin. That is all.
Also, it was great to see Doug get some good yards. Still can’t believe they called that hold in Linehan. what a load of BW!
Thank you, Nick Adenhart. You will always be remembered. #34
Was I the only one
who missed a hold on Doug’s 92 yard run? I watched the replay and still didn’t see one. I say the refs were busy smoking dope or something….
Overall, nice to see a definitive stop for our D! That was awesome. A small first world complaint here-we saw Kellen have a typical college QB day. We just aren’t used to that! Special Teams was awesome. Elkin has been doing quite the job of burying opposing teams deep in their own territory. Best part? I don’t recall seeing anyone else going down with an injury! Great job Broncos!!
There wasn't a hold
The MWC officials just suck. A lot. They called it on Linehan, but all he did was make a good block then the Nevada player fell on top of him.
Upon further review
NinjaMonkey is correct. It was called on Linehan and it was not a hold. Good block where he slid down and the defender fell on top of him. Terrible call.
Even worse was the roughing the kicker call. First, and foremost, he was blocked into it. That was obvious and the ref should have seen how obvious that was. Second, even though he was blocked into it, he barely touched the kicker and the kicker faked his way to a call.
One call that I thought they got wrong while I was at the game was the pass interference early in the game. Then they reviewed it and overturned it. But it actually was a pass interference. So when they got a call right, the reviewed it, then ensured they got it wrong. Idiots!
What I love
Is how often it seems the refs wait to see how the play will turn out, and after it turns into something good like a huge run for a touchdown, THEN they throw the flag…
To be "fair" to the refs
(don’t get me wrong… I hate ’em just as much as everybody else)…
With Doug’s big touchdown run, I saw the flag come in almost as soon as he got the ball… I was hoping I was wrong, but was not surprised in the least when he got to the end and the announcers mentioned the flag….

I think the roughingg the kicker call was correct...
and we fell on the kickers planted leg… The kicker could have very easily of broken his leg on that play.
What happened during the double flag for hands in the face and facemask? During the replay I didn’t see either of the fouls… Did I miss something?
The key is that he was blocked into the kicker. That is not a penalty.
The double flag – I’m assuming you’re talking about the penalties on Southwick’s INT – when I got home and watch the game, it is kind of hard to see, but you definitely hear it. I mean it looks like he hit him in the mask, but couldn’t really tell. But if you have the TV at a reasonable volume and no other noise around, you can hear the smack. I was impressed & amazed that of all the hits on the field, how loud that smack to the helmet was.
I though Mitch Burroughs had turned the corner this year.
He looked like the old Mitch Burroughs today. 2 big drops.

drops
yep 2 drops that sucked, but he still led WR in catches and yards I think? And what maybe 50+ yards on two punt returns?
Great returns BUT
that 50 yard drop was bad, bad, bad!!!!!

Yeah...
That was a touchdown.
I am the BSU Guru. I know everything and anything about BSU, just ask me. Although I may need a minute…and an internet connection.
Linehan's block was outstanding...
stand him, knock him down. Pete must have been furious. Doug and the team got hosed.
Another typical Bronco game – somebody always comes through to pick it up, this time the D and Doug. Not having Byrd or even Paradis is hurting us – that sack on Kellen was revealing. Did anybody notice a physcial change in Kellen that might have contributed to his off day?
I will root for Alabama or Ohio State when they play the Chinese...maybe.
About time D!!!!!!!
Hopefully the D can keep up this 2nd half effort from now on. Martin was awesome. Sucks that the first sack of the year came against these guys. I agree with Reflectivity, Kellen was do for a bad game, and lets pray he doesn’t have another. He’s heisman hype died today. But will be revived later in the year. I hope TCU gets their head out of their butt.
'Trust me, i can protect myself. I'm a Boise State Broncos Football fan.'
I think we need to call it what it is...
That, as of right now, this team is not as good as they were last year. Let’s stop with the constant positivity of “they played great, a win’s a win.” There is a major difference between wanting style points and just wanting great execution. We should have beat Nevada by 50 points by just executing. One game an anomaly, two games is concerning, three games is a trend. This team is playing sloppy football this year and they need to fix it. Before you all attack me for this criticism, let me just say without criticism you can’t get better. If we play like we did today against LSU or Alabama, we’re going to lose, plain and simple.
I am the BSU Guru. I know everything and anything about BSU, just ask me. Although I may need a minute…and an internet connection.
we definitely left some points on the field
and we definitely played sloppy today, on offense more than defense. And i have to agree – I’m concerned about what’s going to happen the rest of the year.
BUT… the guys showed some really good flashes, especially on defense and with the run game. we just need to put it all together.
Thank you, Nick Adenhart. You will always be remembered. #34
I almost feel sorry for the team that we play when we have a complete game
Almost. Unless it’s TCU, then I don’t feel sorry for them at all. We need to get all of the aspects of the game together. It seemed like Coach Pete was pretty upset at the end of the game. He said all the right things, but I think the guys are in for a rough week of practice this week.
28 points left on the table
two missed/dropped TD’s, one dropped pick 6 and the 92 yard TD call back. Not good. 10 penalties, many of which killed drives or kept Nevada ones alive. First game like it this year.
FIELD GOAL!!!!!!!!!
I will root for Alabama or Ohio State when they play the Chinese...maybe.
I missed the first half...
What is the prognosis on Gavins?

Couple more comments...
Overall, I’m glad we got the win. Nice job by the defense and Doug Martin in this game. Kellen had an off day but that’s all right. Everybody has an off day every now and again. Couple of things really annoyed me: Doug Martin’s record breaking touchdown run got called back by a questionable holding penalty, the lack of effort in the fourth quarter, once again, and last but definitely not least, the freaking idiot WHO WAS WHISTLING THE ENTIRE GAME RIGHT BY THE CAMERA.
I am the BSU Guru. I know everything and anything about BSU, just ask me. Although I may need a minute…and an internet connection.
Really not too bothered by the score
Any idiot with eyes could see that game was much more lopsided than the score indicated. Dropped passes, terrible calls, unusual Kellen INT’s…..and it still wasn’t close.
"Being realistic is the most commonly traveled path to mediocrity" - Will Smith
any idiot
who watched that game, with all of the dropped passes, INT’s, etc. could also tell you that as of today BSU isn’t playing like a top 5 team.
IMO it doesn’t matter though because a) they will get it together at some point this season and b) there will be at least 4 undefeated teams in the country this year meaning no NCG for Boise anyways. Ranked 3rd or 10th, BSU will still get an at-large bid to the Fiesta or Sugar, all we gotta do is win out

More first world problems
How do we deal with the issue that the Broncos are probably ranked too high at 4/5? It’s a good team, but not a top five team. I mean, maybe they are, but they haven’t played like it. Maybe they will become one, but it hasn’t happened yet. How do we appreciate the greatness that it Bronco football, without pretending that what is wrong isn’t wrong? How do we critique the team without becoming haters?
I don't believe in dibs, or love at first sight, or love, or best friends, or doing things.
Like I said earlier...
Criticism is good. Criticism helps you get better. If we be honest with ourselves, we can admit that this team has not played like a top 5 team the last couple weeks. There has been a lack of effort, lack of discipline, and lack of execution in the last three games. The thing is though, we know that they are capable of playing so much better than they have been. They are a top 5 team, they just need to start playing like it.
I am the BSU Guru. I know everything and anything about BSU, just ask me. Although I may need a minute…and an internet connection.
as the Guru said
there’s a difference between some criticism and “ZOMG DIS TEAM IZ TEH SUXXORS11”
We’re not terrible… we’re sloppy. We haven’t played like a top 5 team the last (probably) 3 weeks. We need to tighten up, and soon. Otherwise, we might be in some trouble in a few weeks
Thank you, Nick Adenhart. You will always be remembered. #34
Look at it this way...
if we can play as sloppy as we’ve been playing and STILL stay steady at #4 while dominating all our opponents, imagine how good this team really is.

If this team finally gets it together mentally and plays relatively mistake-free football from here on out...
we will be the #1 or #2 team in the country by the end of the year, and we will be going to the National Championship Game. I firmly believe that this is the year that reality finally wins out over perception, and I firmly believe that this is our year. Kellen and co. just need to play better.
I know I can be a bit negative at times in the game threads, but that’s because I know this team can play so much better.

maybe you don’t pay attention to other teams/conferences, but it is going to take a miracle for BSU to end up ranked #1 or #2. Either LSU or Alabama will be undefeated, Wisconsin will be undefeated, Clemson will be undefeated, and you could see an undefeated OK or OKState…all of whom would jump the Broncos in the polls by seasons end.
We need Illinois, FSU (if they can make the ACC champ game), A&M, Auburn, etc. to pull a few rabbits out of their collective hats…
I know EXACTLY what Kellens problem was today.
Unfortunately I had no way of getting a message to him. As hard as I was yelling at the screen he couldn’t hear me. Did anyone else notice? He always plays with one of his chin straps unsnapped, but today he didn’t. I think that threw off his passing. I’m sure of it.

I agree with you TMY. Our D owned the puppy pack. We were in the backfield all day, we had 12 tackles for loss, and I don’t know how many hurries.

Gabe Linehan owes Doug Martin a Coke
That holding penalty—as borderline as it was—cost Doug a 200 yard game and probably the longest rushing TD in school history. D played great today…but first game all year I’ve actually thought “man, I wish we had a deep threat”. Boldewijn needs to get cleared.

That holding call isi questionable. I thought it was a good block...
It was the longest run in school history. I believe the ‘official’ longest run is an 85 yard run by Jared Zabransky. As for the defense, yeah they played great, until the fourth quarter. It’s starting to become a running theme this season.
I am the BSU Guru. I know everything and anything about BSU, just ask me. Although I may need a minute…and an internet connection.
Not quite...
Zabransky holds the record with a 85 yard run against Hawaii in 2004, Martin is second with his 84 run in the Maaco Bowl last year, and KC Adams is third with an 80 yard run against Northern Arizona in 1994.

And they still scored 30 points (on an admittedly pretty bad defense) while their defense turned Nevada’s offense into a coffee break for three quarters. In other words, BSU played like Alabama. I don’t see why anyone thinks BSU is ranked too high.

BSU playing like Alabama
Is quite a stretch, particularly this week. Did you see the Bama-Florida game? If Nevada got in our backfield like they did, Bama would have been in our locker room.
We have a few things going against us right now, primarily injuries. I for one cannot say we have looked like a top five team since halftime of the Toledo game, top 15 maybe, but not top five.
Playing like we have against Tulsa and Nevada would not cut it against any of the top ten teams right now.

I thought the calls for roughing the passer on both sides were extremely iffy
Wasn’t thrilled at all with the officials in this game, but they were bad for both teams so not much of a factor. I have no idea how you can tip a pass after pushing the receiver out of the way and that not be pass interference, that made no sense to me at all.
anyone see Shoe get away w/ a little bs early on?
Got tangled up w/ a Nevada player, play ended, both players talking. Then as the Nevada player got up, Shoe grabbed his foot and he fell over again! Refs saw nothing.

I think the coaches noticed. Didn’t seem to be a whole lot of Shoe on the field after that.

Well, I think we can all agree he wasn't the player of the game...
I am the BSU Guru. I know everything and anything about BSU, just ask me. Although I may need a minute…and an internet connection.
I think we're fine guys
I) It is my opinion that we are a legitimate Top 5 team.
A) We have a lot of youth in the receiver corp and it has shown so far.
B) Pulling off the gas when games are in the bag is pretty much who BSU is, like it or not.
1) Our entire program depends heavily on talent development and that is what we are
doing int he 2nd half of blowout games.
C) Grass is greener. There isn’t a team in the Top 5 this year that is hitting on all
cylinders. If you look at these other teams as closely as we do BSU, you will find
flaws shortcomings.
1) OU is the closest to hitting on all cylinders but they are OU. I’ll believe it when
they’ve reached, and played well in, a NCG.
2) Alabama took forever to find it’s QB and they don’t ask too much of him for a
reason. Meanwhile, Trent Richardson has been good but not the nightmare many
thought he would be. As usual, Bama is depending on a lights out defense and ball
control.
3) LSU still can’t seem to pass the ball. Yeah, their defense is amazing and their run
game is tough as heck, but they are still one dimensional and that can be schemed
for by a good coach with a tough run defense.
4) Stanford; they’re us without a marquee win. Let’s see what they do against
Oregon. They seem to be well coached but I haven’t seen any proclamations of
“most balanced team in America”!
II. Although Moore’s accuracy wasn’t where we’re used to seeing it, would we have noticed that if the extra yards and TD’s for the two playaction passes to a wide open Mitch Burroughs had worked?
My point is how much was he really off and how much are we simply micro analyzing his game b/c they wow factor was missing today in the stats and scores?
III. Boise St. plays at a different level according to the level of it’s competition. No one likes that but it’s the truth most of the time. We play down when the game is in the bag and we fight like demons when the expectations are against us.
I’ll tell you this…give me ANY team in the nation and any stadium they want to play at, their own included…..I give this Bronco team even money to win that game. I don’t care if it’s OU, Bama, or LSU. I think this team is well coached and plays with terrific focus when the time calls for it. I think they execute exceptionally well when the time calls for it. I think they can play with anyone ion the country and have a reasonable chance of winning that ball game.
I fear NOBODY come bowl season. That’s my stance on this year’s team. I don’t like they they play at inconsistent levels but I am prepared to accept that as a part of this program’s personality. They play as tough as they need to and they are not a team to be trifled with or taken lightly b/c they’ll straight take the heads off of any teams that approach them that way.

consequently, against Tulsa, they may be down.

That game should’ve been won, and they choked it away. I was not happy at all after that game.
Even with Cody Fajardo we would have won,
but the game might have been close. Losing your RB and crazy legs is hard to replace amd we are going to have to go thru that next year.
You guys got the pieces and the system to make a sustained run for the near future. For the sake of our SOS, we hope you guys do well this year and in the future (except of course when you play the BLUE). Wolfpac fans were class acts today.

real good to hear on that last part
I know that most are, just that the yahoos were out in full force a year ago.
I do think Taua is replaceable, and I think Ball could improve to that level with time. Best thing about Taua was he was just that gritty RB type that would play until he couldn’t play anymore if you let him. The Hawaii game last year comes to mind, even though it was a loss what Taua gave in the game was nothing short of remarkable, by the end of the game he was limping after every play but still kept taking the ball. Kaep is, of course, difficult to replace, though I do think there are QBs out there that certainly can step in and come close to his production so long as the Union (the O-line) can stay strong. I haven’t seen enough of Fajardo in the passing game to know where he is with that, but as we know, the pistol can run pretty well even with a QB who struggles from time to time through the air provided they can run the ball.
Was at the game this afternoon.
Had a great time and the crowd in our section was very loud. I thought our defense did a great job. The offense had a bit of an off day, but it’s better to happen early in the season than late. I was hoping for a bigger margin, but I’ll take a win any time.
I agree with every point you made.
And as a fan trying to be loud, I don’t think we’ll get scolded this week. And Martin was awesome, even with the sketchy Oline.

I do not care about the final score or a few of the missed plays we had.
We played well. Holding Nevada to just over 100 yards until the last drive was great. D looked very good. Just look at the yards they put up on Oregon and TT. I had a lot of fun and the SEZ was rocking…
We really controled the game, that is what I like to see, There were some great hits out there, and I can not wait for Friday to get here…. Remember what happed the last time we played Fresno there with a Carr for QB…Or pettty much every year after…..

Maybe Kellen was just bracing us for FAKM?

Your not crazy...
Call me crazy, but I enjoyed the Versus presentation
I also thought the presentation was terrific. Versus was bought by NBC Sports so their games are produced by the same people who produced Notre Dame games and Sunday Night Football. Although, the one thing I hated about the presentation was the person right by the camera that was whistling the entire game.

Compared to the CBS coverage it was much better
I mean, CBS’s coverage was horrid.

"I'm originally from Boise, Idaho."...
"Oh, so what's it like being from the Midwest?"...
"Idaho's not really in the Midwest."...
"Oh...so you like potatoes?"

Go Broncos!
I can't really compare the two...
I was at the Tulsa game so unfortunately I didn’t get to see the coverage. I heard that I appeared on TV a couple of times, though, so I’m going to have to side with CBS sports :)

Speaking of horrid,
I came home to watch the dvr of our game, then switched over to 616 the Mtn. Talk about a horrid picture! It looked like a blurry watercolor. I’m glad we only have 3 games televised on the Mtn. Anyone know what is causing this poor quality?

I don't think the person was whistling...I think it was a whistle, as in Noisemaker.
and I do wonder if something like that wasn’t going on when George was flagged for his late hit on the passer. I wonder if the refs’ whistles don’t sound an awfully lot like a fan whistle. Could he have confused the ref calling the play dead with some ignorant fan behavior? Am I crazy? Is this even possible?

The presentation was great
with a couple of exeptions, at first they had a habit of trying to show replays all the way until the ball was snapped, so there was one play that they didn’t show, I think there was a penalty on it so I guess it didn’t matter, but still. Also they seemed to have a bit of trouble with the lighting, for a few plays. The commentary was great, it was nice to have a crew that actually knows what they were talking about and that wasn’t trying to find useless filler half the time.
Except for the repeated calls of Brian Hunt....
Speaking of Hout, he hasn’t been mentioned and he really played inspired football! Nice to see.

Kind of scary....
Kellen didn’t play great, and it may have been a look into what next year will be like. I am starting to wonder how much his knee may really be bothering him. I know there were a lot of dropped passes, but he also missed quite a few passes that he normally would not have.
On another note….I thought the fan participation was not great. I was in the South Endzone and people were sitting down in the first quarter. As an endzone veteran of 20 years(since I was 8) I was not impressed. Defense looked pretty darn good. I focused in on Billy Winn on a few plays and noticed that he was being pretty heavily double teamed….and he was still getting some awesome push.
Also hated to see Martins run taken away. A lot of us in the South Enzone felt like the ref was retaliating for our taunting of the poor calls. We gave it to them pretty hard when they were standing there and they didn’t look very happy about it. God I hope those were WAC refs….because if they were Mtn West refs it could be a frustrating year.
The crowd was LOUD on TV...
I was at the Tulsa game and wasn’t impressed but I think we stepped it up this game!
One nit-pick, I don’t think enough people have picked up on the fact that we yell SSSHHHHOOOOEEEEE!!!!!!!!! when he makes a play….sounded like half a shoe all day!

I'm not necessarily speaking of volume....
but the energy level gets sucked out when people are sitting down. Call me crazy, but when we play Oregon or Oregon State the crowd is on their feet and the energy level is insane.
There is no reason that people can’t stand up when we are on defense and scream and clap and behave like absolute fools. That’s the best part of going to the games!
Also, as previously discussed, the student sections MUST be moved. I would give students the North Endzone, the section they currently have, and one more to the right, bumping the band down one section as well.
Sitting down
I blame this on newbies. I’m in the SEZ and the guy behind me is complaining about every one standing up, he even taped my friends daughters shoulder and asked her to sit down. Dude if you wanna sit go watch the game at home. Is it just me but the bigger we get the lamer the fans get.

I figured that the defense would bail out the offense in the early part of the season
I wish the offense wouldn’t take so long to click, but it is. But I knew the D would hold down the fort. I don’t know who said this, but it’s very appropriate: “If they can’t score, we can’t lose.” Happy to see the defense rise up and play a complete game. It’s comforting to know our guys can dominate without the offense bringing its ‘A’ game.
Man, we left four TDs off the board too! Well, the refs helped with one.
Still think
Kellen needs a deep threat at WR. It was evident yesterday that Nevada had little respect for the intermediate to deep routes with all of the man coverage they were playing on the outside. UGA would have been smart to do the same, luckily for us Richt was still HC for that one. Burroughs, Miller, Shoe, etc. just can’t get any separation downfield…unless it’s a blown coverage and in that case Burroughs doesn’t want to catch it anyways.

Color scheme looked good on tv...
The Bulldogs had no answers, so they called timeout. And at that moment, every single person in the stadium knew that Georgia was in over its head. It was instant singularity of Boise State's greatness.

Color scheme for SEZ I mean... Was a weird looking pic on BroncoSports website
I almost told my buddy to wear whatever he wanted but then said I think it might be blue, so wear blue just in case

Seriously.
I’m all for throwing those “specials” outta their seats. Seriously. Unless you’re in a costume, WEAR THE RIGHT FREAKING COLORS. I dress SIX people for home games (seven if you count me fretting over what to wear for the inevitable “photographer gets hammered on the sidelines, seen here being carted off of the field” photo) and I manage to get them all in the right colors, even if I have to purchase the $10 game day shirts. Get it done, folks. Spray paint, if necessary.
Second rant of the day (humor me because I’m in a terrible mood for our dear Jerrell): Who died and made these idiots God? You exercised your opinion on why Boise State isn’t living up to whatever standard you’ve set for them, now shut the hell up. If the consensus seems to be that we’re a bunch of homers here on OBNUG – EXCELLENT. Go somewhere else. How dare you come here and talk down to those of us who prefer to be homers. I know and love these boys and I don’t care if they were 0 and 4 instead of 4 an 0. I’d tell you that they’re the best team in the whole country and who the hell are you to tell me otherwise? Masters in Football Prognostics? We don’t need you to set us straight on our wrong ways of thinking. We’re just fine, thankyouverymuch. It’s insulting.
Lastly, and I recognize that as a mom, I naturally approach things thinking far too much about the emotions involved in football, but my heart is just broken for Jerrell right now. He fought back tears on Saturday before the game. This guy has been away from his home and family for 4 years, playing for our enjoyment, working his rear end off to get his grades eligible to transfer from JC. Taking summer school classes here that prevented him from spending that time at home in Miami with his family, so that he could graduate this spring and start the rest of his life back at home with his family. His family situation doesn’t afford the big trips out here for his mom and brothers and sisters, who he talks to several times per day because he misses them so much. He sacrifices every.single.day for this. For the privilege of playing football for YOUR enjoyment. I cried when I saw his friends take the field with 4 on their arms. I shed some tears when his teammate came out of the locker room after the game telling me to “Watch out for Rell. Keep his spirits up.” THAT is what coming to Boise is all about. Character, effort, heart, class and dignity. How DARE you few rotten eggs diminish what these boys are doing by telling us how they’d be better off losing now. They could teach you a thing or two.
Football is awesome. I love football and I want to win more than the next girl. Just don’t lose sight of what this team is – a group of exemplary young men, several who have parents who frequent OBNUG. I will celebrate al of their accomplishments. I wouldn’t be any less proud of them if they won the Potato Bowl than the NCG.
Done throwing my fit. Super emotional after yesterday and I don’t like to see this crap from fans.

I find someone complaining about fans not living up to another fans abstract standards of fandom
far more annoying than people critiquing the actual play on the field.

Crissie is not offereing abstract standards of fandom.
Orange is orange. That’s not abstract. Cheering for your team is yelling support. Nothing abstract there.
Recognizing the sacrifices student athletes make to play the game and get an education often far from home and family is not abstract. It is real in-your-face evidence of the heart of our players, coaches, and their families. Being in crutches is not abstract.
Crissie is welcome to shout her homerism and her momerism here on OBNUG. You, foryourhead, are welcome to shout your irritation about lackluster performance and questionable play-calling. Both have a place here. We don’t need posters venting on other posters. Fan frustration doesn’t directly win/lose games, but it certainly does color the mood that hovers over our players out on the field. Now THAT is abstract, and that is what we have control over:our own individual outlook on the challenge that is football.

since i’ve spent the last two years getting to know a lot of the people that FREQUENT this site while contributing to it constantly, and since i’ve been a FAN of bronco football for at least 20 years, i don’t see why you bother to even stay if you are so easily annoyed by us FANS. if the athletic department went through the trouble of doing the color schemes, shouldn’t we, as FANS, help out? i’m going to assume that the people in the SEZ are FANS
Noel.Diggity.....NO DOUBT!
Bronco Nation...where the heavens and our hallowed ground are both BLUE!
I assume since I am the one who started this "color scheme" conversation
that you are speaking to me when you say
I find someone complaining about fans not living up to another fans abstract standards of fandomannoying. Is it annoying because you wore the wrong color T-shirt or annoying because who am I to question what another fan does??? What is the difference of me and everyone that is questioning how Pete coaches, Kellen throws, Doug, Dj, Miller catch, I think that is the reason for this site but sometimes the fans need called out too I know if I had season tickets and I had spent that much money on them I would follow a color scheme, Stand and Cheer till I went hoarse (and i have) and not tell people to sit down Its like paying 400.00 for front row seats at a Metallica concert and told you have to sit and watch quietly its BW DUMB and idiotic that someone would suggest something so asinine!!! sure some people get in a hurry and running late blah blah blah but the entire section was multicolored…..it was not mostly blue it was nothing,Nada ZIP a Fail in my opinion
MrsDiggity.......NO DOUBT
Idaho skies are Blue and Orange
IT"S GAME DAY!!!
I’m wound up tighter than Rosie O’Donnell in a pair midget panty hose!!!!! Favorite Quote this season Haters gonna HATE, Potatoes gonna POTATE!!!!
If you hit the "up", foryourhead is aggrieved with Crissie.
May be you, too, and maybe lots of folks, but the up is to Crissie.
I already said my piece, peace.

Rec'd for speaking my mind!.
There are Bronco fans and there are Bronco supporters. These two are diffentent but can also go hand in hand. Your rant shows you are both a fan AND a supporter. We might be dealing with a few who are just new fans, and I welcome them, and they need to understand why we get offended about some of the things that get posted about our team.
Crissie, I don’t know how long you have been a fan/supporter, but for me it started in the 60’s when I was in Jr. high and used to volunteer every week to set up hurdles for the track team at the old stadium. Yes, I got some years on me. I attended there in the earlys 70’s and my dad taught some classes there. My point is, your rant describes the BOISE STATE OF MIND that has been there for years and has gotten us to where we are today through all the highs and lows. Over the years you develop a trust for what the program is doing, when you’ve seen it come so far.
One of these days I hope to make one of your tailgates. And someday I might put up a fanpost on “standers” vs “sitters”, my point of view, so I should make some friends before everybody hates me.
PS Godspeed Jerrell. I feel for him after all his hard work and sacfrifice and such a great start.

crissie I swear I rec'd you not flagged
you are my Joan of Arc, and a great momma. Go away band wagoners or join us the real fans, no matter what we bleed blue.
I'm the 12 th man its my job its my duty.

I don’t know if it was because Kellen has such a “bad” game or what, but Southwick looked really good to me this game.
Kellen did not have a bad game, dropped passes , he was a bit off.
Hey Jay you never had a bad day?
I'm the 12 th man its my job its my duty.
"Hey Jay you never had a bad day?"
What has that got to do with anything?
I don't believe in dibs, or love at first sight, or love, or best friends, or doing things.
I thought Southwick did well the previous game, too.
Well, minus the fumble, anyway…
