Boise State schedule preview: The Georgia Bulldogs and the Aaron Murray carryall

Good job Kevin thanks. Billy will be in the backfield so often Aaron Murray will confuse him for one of his backs, and hand the ball off to him.

Try again later, rats.

. . . I otherwise agree with this reasonable assessment, with one quibble: it is fair to say that Mark Richt’s teams have been inconsistent in big games, not that they have been bad.

They generally have done pretty well in season openers against legitimate opposition, beating Clemson in 2002 and 2003, Boise State in 2005, and Oklahoma State in 2007 before losing to Oklahoma State in Stillwater to begin the 2009 campaign. Obviously, Coach Richt has struggled mightily with the Gators, but he has winning records against every other meaningful rival (7-3 against South Carolina, 6-4 against Tennessee, 6-4 against Auburn, 9-1 against Georgia Tech), as well as a 2-1 record in the SEC Championship Game and a 7-3 record in bowl games.

Surely at least some of those qualified as “big games.” Yes, there have been some big-game flops—-the three losses in 2008 and the Sugar Bowl loss to West Virginia at the end of the 2005 season spring to mind—-but there have been some big-game successes, as well. Inconsistency is a fair charge to level, but the claim that “[t]he Bulldogs are not big-game performers under Mark Richt” overstates the case.

Otherwise, though, this is a fair assessment, and I offer no excuses for the man purse. That is indefensible, and I cannot begrudge you your mockery of it. Provided our offensive line can hold up against the Broncos’ defensive front (which I consider one of the most underrated units in college football), though, this game should feature a quality quarterback battle.

Nicely done. We’ll see y’all in September.

We wear something other then our standard Home Blues.
Nice write up Kaven honest and to the point.

I have noticed a trend that some might say “yeah but the V-Tech game” and that trend is this all orange, or the newfangled out fits and sorry to say it Kellen comes out flat.
The V-Tech game you say well we get the ball deep in v-tech to start after the turnover and all we got was a field goal. Now I hear rumblings of the all white skivies not the all white we ware at Nev but the new all white and I must tell you I’m concerned! Not about the out come .. but the final score. Home Blue score 49-6 all white new skivies I concur with Kaven 31 17

The Bulldawgs problems seem legit and it seems it stems from their coach? They have talent but that loss in the Liberty Bowl has to be due in part to some poor coaching. I’m not sure that a 3-4 defense will require much of a change in offensive game plan for the Broncos but I guess we’ll see.

I thoroughly enjoy reading the write ups on the teams and on our player countdown. Great sense of humor, timely facts, and enough innuendo to feed my suspicious mind.
Know that you OBNUG writers are appreciated!

Which is what most folks will be paying attention to. ESPN will be using the AP ranks when it pushes promotes the telecast (as it will season long until the BCS rankings come out, then it will move to those).

I think this will be a good game. Another name to remember is linebacker Jarvis Jones, a transfer from USC who sat out in 2010 but should provide a huge athletic boost. The word around the Georgia camp is that he is making big plays….

It’s great for football when Boise State is good, and I’ll be cheering for y’all from Week 2 onward. Having said that, IF (big if) UGA plays up to its talent, I think this game is going to be a lot tougher for y’all than you might think. UGA is stacked on the lines, and that’s where football games are really won or lost.

UGA’s O line has about an inch and 50 lbs per man on BSU’s D line.
Average UGA O lineman: 6’4" 324.4 lbs.
Average BSU D lineman: 6’3" 277.25 lbs

UGA’s D line has nearly 30 lbs per man on BSU’s O line.
Average UGA D lineman: 6’3" 321.6 lbs*
Average BSU O lineman: 6’2.6" 293 lbs

(* This assumes that we don’t play both Big John Jenkins and Kwame Geathers simultaneously, which Coach Grantham has discussed. Then the average jumps up to 6’4" 339.67 lbs.)

If UGA plays up to its potential, it might be a long night for y’all. Then again, UGA’s done less with more over the last 3 years than any other team in the country. At any rate, I’m excited for a heck of a game come September 3rd. See y’all in the Dome!

I’m proud as a GAME ROOSTER that UGA’s AD (and others) made this game possible. Bronco Nation is looking forward to our first ever meeting with Georgia!

Ole Miss, North Carolina, Georgia, Boise State, Louisville, BYU were all involved in getting this game scheduled. Some kicking n screaming.

Georgia canceled a 5-year old contract for a home/home series with Louisville. The Chick-fil-A folks will pay Louisville $600,000 to buy out Louisville (pronounced lew-E-ville, okay, that was ugly – sorry).

North Carolina agreed to replace UGA on Louisville’s schedule in 2011 and 2012.

Boise State-Ole Miss game will be pushed back to 2014. BYU agreed to replace Boise State on Ole Miss’ 2011 schedule.

The power of ESPN…

Boise State fans will be outnumbered 10-1 but what I’ve read thus far about UGA fans, they’re a classy bunch.

BTW, we promise not to have 6 turnovers by Kellen Moore in the first half. Again, thanks for the mulligan.

But my Tigers are on wife bought me a large bottle of Jack that’s been in the freezer for about 30 minutes now and I’m going to get silly and pass out in 1:56 minutes..

Been a pleasure!

Mariners. Take care Darth

it is known!

May you die a slow painful death!

Threw absolute Gas against my M’s a couple nights ago….. hes dang tough…. and a CG shutout……Not too shabby

I dont smoke so I dont keep up on that as much as a smoker might, But I think it must be at least 25 feet from an entrance to a public establishment…..

As someone who is strictly b2b these smoking bans are killing restaurants and bar businesses.. it’s a fact …

I dont get out much, that may attribute to it, plus, I am not from here, dont watch TV and dont care to read the newspaper too much… So, yeah, I am out of that loop.

The hitler youth have taken over ..
A privet business is no longer privet.. yep the lost generation that be you 4fbb .. so sad…

Mean while in the ultra liberal state of Pennsylvania smoking laws require only separation between smoking and none smoking section.
I look forward to the time when facial hair is banned from public considering it harbors deseas and lice!

Banned facial hair it causes disease!!!!!!! harbors lice!

I have only posted a couple times on this site and have tried to figure out what Boise had going for them and where the question marks were for this team. All I get is this “we are strong at every position and have zero weaknesses.” Really? You did lose to Nevada last year. You return 7 on offense and 7 on defense. So there is no drop off at any position. 2 new receivers. You do not see that as any type of question mark.
Come on! I think us Georgia people have been honest about the situational advantages in this game. We are confident, sure, but we have our holes and you certainly do too. Hell, Alabama and Oklahoma have their uncertainties.

I have been waiting for this. Joe I appreciate how you are trying to down play your homer sec’ness. Lets look at the facts shall we. What part dont you understand., should I type ssssllllllooooowwwwweeeerrrr. We have to win every game, you dont how is that confusing . It amazes me how you just assume teams like Neveda, Fresno, Hawaii are weak. Our weakest team in the WAC gave Oklahoma every thing they could handle. It’s all about perspective, SEC thinks they are the baddest in town, they play amongst themselves, allowing a few (should I say) cupcakes to play . Mean while the others are getting stronger, faster, and have more heart . Mean while the SEC gets greedier and more complacent. ripe for the pickings. Read history every tyranny will fall. As far as the wallet comment c’mon dont you know what an AQ team makes compared to non AQ team.

Frankly, this game isnt noteworthy unless 1. Georgia wins or 2. Georgia wins at least 9 games on the season. anything less than that is just Boise beating a team they should have beaten (according to public opinion).

Also, posts and comments like this could bite you in the ass, because both Georgia and SEC fans will light up your forum should you lose.
