The Broncos now have an SEC win, pole position on that BCS berth, and a whole lot of confidence after rolling the Georgia Bulldogs 35-21 in the Chick-fil-a kickoff game. Kellen Moore tossed three scores to three different receivers, the Bronco defense shut down Aaron Murray and the Georgia running game, and the Broncos scored 28 unanswered points to take control and take home the W.
Join me after the jump for some highlights and stats from the game, or just head to the comments and rejoice. Or both. Go Broncos!
Top Five plays
- Kellen Moore to Matt Miller. The 100th TD pass of Moore's career and the first (of 100?) TD catches for Miller came as a perfect answer to Brandon Boykin's 80-yard TD run. Even better, what seemed like our first chance to sweat out a Dan Goodale field goal try after back-to-back lost yardage plays turned into a tie ballgame on a slick catch and run by Miller. Nicely done, Montana youth football system.
- Brandon Boykin 80-yard TD run. Technically, it was a top five play of the game and a bottom five moment for my stomach. Blocked beautifully, there wasn't much Boise State could do after Boykin turned the corner on Byron Hout.
- Kyle Efaw TD catch. Efaw is not known as a mauler, but he bulled his way into the end zone on his second quarter touchdown catch. Nice of the O-line to give Moore until the day after Labor Day to find a receiver, too.
- Chase Baker and Jamar Taylor sack Aaron Murray to force a 55-yard field goal. After Boise State went up 21-7, Georgia responded with an actual, composed drive inside the Bronco 30. And that was about all the universe could handle as Taylor and Baker combined for a 3rd down sack to push Georgia into 55-yard field goal range and a big ol' wide left.
- Tyler Shoemaker's TD catch from Kellen Moore. Shoemaker deserved a primetime Emmy for his role as fake blocker-turned-TD catcher on Boise State's second score of the third quarter. Shoemaker got open just enough for Kellen Moore to find him in the back of the end zone.
It was over when ...
Aaron Murray's fourth-down pass fell incomplete with three minutes to go in the game. A score there would have put the Bulldogs down by only seven, and had they stopped BSU on the next drive ... ah, who am I kidding? I watched the same game you did. I know that wouldn't happen.
Game recap
Boise State beat Georgia 35-21 and they also beat them in every way that mattered - in the trenches, in the gameplan, one-on-one, and stars to stars.
Boise State found its footing on offense when it started finding its tight ends, first Gabe Linehan (in a small way) and then Kyle Efaw (in a big way). After an 80-yard TD run from Georgia's Brandon Boykin (his only offensive touch of the game) broke the scoring, Boise State ran off 28 straight and took a 28-7 lead late in the third quarter. The Broncos did it on the strength of their up-tempo offense, which opened the second half with an unstoppable no-huddle drive. The defense did its part, holding Aaron Murray to bad-WAC-quarterback numbers and forcing an INT, which Boise State turned into points.
The final scoreline does not do Boise State's performance justice. Georgia scored on an 80-yard run, a 4th-and-2 busted coverage (after electing to punt only to have second thoughts after a Tyler Jackson penalty), and a 51-yard catch and run. Other than that, it was all Boise State.
Hopefully the thoroughness of beating of an SEC school will buy the Broncos some respect. We've got the next three months to find out.

Knee-jerk reactions
I will have more to say on the Boise State defensive gameplan in days to come and blog posts to come and murals to paint to come, but suffice it to say, Pete Kwiatkowski is a wizard ... Super job by the two new starters on the Bronco O-line, Charles Leno and Jake Broyles. Add in the work Spencer Gerke did as Joe Kellogg's fill-in, and I think O-line coach Chris Strausser deserves a raise or a Blizzard or both ... The two best defensive linemen of the night for me were Chase Baker and Shea McClellin, but I'm open to adding guys to that list ...
Say good-bye to the redshirts of Blake Renaud, Dallas Burroughs, and Tyler Horn ... That Grant Hedrick pistol read option package is growing on me ... The Wild Hamster? Not so much ... The Broncos' solution to replacing Ricky Tjong-A-Tjoe was to not replace Ricky Tjong-A-Tjoe. BSU went with Billy Winn, Chase Baker, and Mike Atkinson almost exclusively ... Georgia's second touchdown of the night looked like a blown coverage by Travis Stanaway playing Cedric Febis's spot (not the first of the night from that position) ... My prediction for SEC homer reaction of the night: Well, Georgia is no LSU ...
Thanks to everyone who spent time in the comments. 1,520 of 'em! Looks like my Labor Day weekend reading list is set.

Predicted this awhile back..
but I’ll mention it again – Kellen’s go-to wide receiver this year will be Matt Miller.
Anyway, can’t describe how elated I am after getting redeption against Georgia. So proud to be a Broncos.

Congrats on the win, even tho you all still suck. I just guess that UGA sucked worse tonight. I blame our pathetic coaching and playcalling, but hope we get to play you all again one day, that way we can make good on that beatdown we promised ya’ll.

excuses excuses we heard it last year from Va Tech too. We hear it from everyone we beat. When we lost against Nevada we had people blaming our kicker but the majority of Bronco Nation made no excuse we did not play well. That was our only loss…..to a very tough team and your the SEC you were supposed to bring it. That was a good game but…..You were BEAT fair and Square you could not answer the points your team and fan base ran its mouth with nothing to back it up you had a few good plays but you just could not Beat a team that has to Prove our selves every game of the season Now you’ve been a bad DAWG get in your Dawg house

And Auburn played well, it’s just that Utah State is so top-ten dominant with their freshman QB.

that was my general point.
it seems that the majority of the SEC faithful skew every win and loss for the most positive SEC light…instead of saying auburn sucks, they sing Utah State’s praises and how auburn was so awesome to pull off a comeback. Instead of saying georgia is good but got outcoached, they castrate uga and cast them off, saying they are unrepresentative of SEC power. IMO, auburn should be criticized much more than uga, and lsu shouldn’t be getting so much glory for beating a shell of an oregon team. We’ve played and won against a much better duck team than that…

I saw that game, and it’s not hard to tell that LSU was capitalizing on a much worse oregon team than Ohio State did. Pretty obvious, actually. They played like a wac team, not a solid Ducks team getting outclassed by the sec. We would play the 2011 LSU defense in a heartbeat, if the powers that be would let us. It’d be a good game. We’d probably win.

LSU plays Alabama every year.
Go watch some video of the 2009 SEC Championship or the 2011 Capitol One Bowl. LSU and Bama’s defenses are just as fundamentally sound and well coached as Boise’s… with substantially better athletes.

You just beat a team that lost its best player and couldn’t beat UCF when they had him.

Coach Pete January 1, 2007
Voted for Chase Baker
But McClellin also had a great game, as did Matt Miller. Really excited about the guy’s future.
Had to vote for Kellen
Even with the INT, he was the best Kellen he could be tonight.
Is it counterintuitive to root for both Boise State and the Yankees?

Understandable
Kellen was amazing, didn’t vote for him because of the INT, that was on him. But after that he just clicked.
Jerrell Gavins also had a pretty good game, didn’t saw him get beat and even on that dropped interception he was on a great position with the receiver, just didn’t finish the play.
But again, voted for Chase Baker because he was amazing along wth McClellin. I’m extremely proud of the whole Front 7 in general, they were on Aaron Murray’s face all game long and Georgia’s running game was very limited aside from that surprise run by Boykin. That IS and SEC OL after all.

He was getting tremendous pressure
He threw that ball before he was ready and couldn’t get enough on it. If he’d have had half a second more it was a TD.
Will probably vote other - for Miller.
Agree that McClellin really brought it last night.

Aaron Murray looked good
And the rest of the Bulldogs had flashes of great play but the Broncos really are that good. Our D-line was voted by many as the number one unit in the nation for a reason. Even a huge SEC O-line where the average height and weight is 6’4" 329 lbs. ( holy crap!) could not stop our speed and physicallity. However, I think you guys will do great and take this as a learning experience. Good luck with the rest of your season.
UGA's line is big
but they’re a bunch of underachieving fatasses and the left tackle Sturdivant, their best guy by a decent margin, blew out his knee in preseason. And Murray got locked onto Charles just like he did AJ Green last year. Only problem there is that Charles ain’t AJ.

could come across as smarmy and condescending to a fanbase in our position? We don’t need to learn anything from Boise State. We’ve been playing college football since 1892. It was just six years ago that we were the ones saying that to the folks from the blue turf.

BSU changes the BCS! 2011
I meant this in great respect
This football team this year can take this game and learn from it. I have so much respect for Georgia and the program. Did not mean to offend.
I have to add
My best friend’s dad graduated from The University of Georgia. He’s lived in Boise for longer than my life and supported everything Boise since I’ve known him. But he’s still a hardcore Dawg fan and according to my buddy won’t root against them ( he’s a huge BSU fan too). I respect that. That’s what we’re establishing here and we are doing that with the guidance of example.
Six Years Ago
It was just six years ago that we were the ones saying that to the folks from the blue turf.
And BSU DID learn from that game…a lot of former players cite that beat down as a turning point for the program. They used that loss as motivation to propell them to the Fiesta Bowl and a defeat of Oklahoma…all good teams learn from setbacks, he was refering to your current players not the fans or University!

It is true the school has been playing football since 1892...
But those players have only been playing for the past 10-15… much like the rest of college athletes… so just because they play for a school with history doesn’t mean they can’t learn from a loss… or even a game for that matter… the day your team stops learning from a game is the day I would lose hope…

Coach Pete and company are not afraid to completely revamp their plays to best fit their athletes. If Hedrick is next year’s starter, it should be a blast.
Also, think of the confidence he gained by playing in, and performing at such a high level during such an important game!

Honestly, probably slightly more...
…but not a whole lot more given the way we played. Regardless of who dominated us, we were thoroughly dominated. The last SEC champ to be dominated like that by anyone in a regular season game was LSU all the way back in 2001 when they got smoked 44-15 by Florida.

Point is
We Boise State fans are taking comments like that as a back-handed disses.. How do you not know that Boise State is a top 5 football team and you lost to one of the best football teams in the country, and therefore will do just fine in SEC conference play.. no, a lot of SEC fans go the route that Georgia lost to little ol Boise State so they must suck..
by East Coast Broncos Fan on Sep 6, 2011 7:25 AM PDT up reply actions
I'd encourage you to go back and read our discussions from other losses
…to top 5 teams that were so thorough. For instance, go back and look at the 2009 Florida game (another instance where we wore clown costumes for the game).
Florida was the defending national champion and had already been annointed the 2009 champ (they would have been had it not been for Alabama). There was no doubt in anyone’s mind that Florida was an elite team but Georgia fans were still irate and saying the same things they’re saying about our game with you. This is because we were uncompetitive and put in a performance that clearly lacked effort.
It isn’t OK to get beaten that badly by anyone, whether they’re the #1 team in the country or the #60 team. Let’s say you guys truly are the best team in the country this season…Georgia is still far, far behind you. For a program that likes to think of itself as one that should be in the national championship discussion, that’s a very sobering thought. We’re unranked for a reason. We fire coaches for going 8-4 too often. This nonsense simply isn’t acceptable.
Can y’all not understand that? Have you gotten so used to WAC teams just bending over and taking it from you that you expect your opponents to be OK with losing to you?

losing to Boise doesn’t mean they suck. Getting their asses handed to them by Boise after finishing 7-6 last year does though.

Seemed like there were a few times he just barely got them off due too an intense pass rush
Looked to me like he adjusted ever so slightly at the last moment to kick it a little higher… Just out of the punt blocker’s reach.I was super impressed with both his athletic ability and poise.

Kellen was the man BUT
Give Gavins credit, he was fantastic… he told Chadd Cripe that he knew they were going to pick on him and he was going to prove that they needed to throw somewhere else, and he did that in spades….he was awesome all night. What a great game!!!! I, along with others, said More Matt Miller was a good thing and it happened!
I did, however, say I worried that the D-Line would tire and I was wrong, they finished strong!
The scary part is that we didn’t play out of our minds and that we will only get better….when we get the Dutch Connection back we will be unstoppable!!!!

I am very pleasantly surprised by his perfect game. He was awesome.
I feel terrible for our three Dutchmen, they should have been there to enjoy that win.
Matt Miller is going to change the “WR by committee” game plan. He will be huge for us.
It’s finally settled, bigger, is not better. Boise’s D-line were who we thought they were.

They had our run game on lock down and it took some supreme efforts from Martin and Harper to gain good yards, boy those guys looked good…especially Martin!

My take:
Very happy with special teams play. Kickers were great. I love the rugby punt. O Line and D Line put a hurting on their Georgia counterpart – almost unreal. Kellen was Kellen….scary, scary accurate. Need work on the run game (Doug and DJ were both great but spent a lot of time not getting many yards) and the DBs. Getting beat on the backside is bad form. Both coaching staffs did a fine job, but Richt and his crew just got out witted by our coaches badly. I hope he gets to keep his job.
Georgia fans, thanks for the excellent discussion this last few weeks. We’re now your team’s second biggest fans. Go get the rest of the SEC!

I voted Kellen, but I will say this...
Jerrell Gavins gave an absolute all-star perfomance tonight. If it wasn’t for the fact that Kellen went all RoboCop in the 3rd quarter and systematically marched his team in unison to a couple TDs, then I definitely pick Gavins.
All-around Boise State played the wat I knew they would, prepared, focused, unstoppable, and on a mission.

After a shaky start, when our offense got into a rhythm, it was fun to watch...
but the defense was amazing (save for a few late burns through the air)! I knew the D was good, but I didn’t expect it to look that good.

I think they do.
Pete is scheming and seeing how they’ll react and Kellen is watching to see what kind of personality they’re playing with, what are they showing. By the time Kellen got to his 3rd drive I could just see it…he had them figured out. I think the game was actually over at that point. Kellen’s understanding of the UGA defense allowed us to sustain drives while UGA was trying to just pick up yards any way they could.
UGA had a few nice schemed plays, these don’t count the long bombs…I’m thinking of the pass to Samuels right where we blitzed and left an open spot, the long outside run by Boykin was blocked beautifully, and they had a screen I believe that attacked the right spot of the defense when we were blitzing.

I felt that, too
There was a point late in the first quarter – not the drive where they scored the first TD, but the one before it, I think, where you could just tell that he had solved the puzzle – I had a feeling then that if the defense could hold down Georgia, we’d win.
Though Boykin’s run had my heart down by my feet until we tied it up…

Awesome game tonight!
the final score doesn’t reflect the game, but I’ll take it.
Special teams really surprised me, and Brad Elkin was NAILS! I’ll echo Cripe – how is Potter that good of a returner?! It doesn’t make sense! (Not complaining).
Defense looked good, minus the big plays. Need to tighten up the deep ball coverage, but outside of that, they looked really solid. Me likey.
Lastly, Kellen is Kellen. Gotta love him. And it looks like Matt Miller is gonna play a HUGE role this year, and I’m perfectly okay with it. He’s really good. Team BurrPott really showed up tonight, too.

Look back at the film, and you will see where our new saftey (Ioane) was out of position a number times. That is a very difficult position to master, and I think he will come around sooner rather than later.

I knew the secondary would be key and he stepped up big. Played way bigger than his size. I could voted for Kellsy…but c’mon…we expect that out of Kellen.
Imagine if we had Paul, Febis, TAT, and Bold1.
Yup....
Man was Gavins good….#DBU

"...and just things really starting to unravel now for Utah..." Herbie, BSU vs. Utah, 22 Dec 2010
This game was amazing!
the 1st few drives i expected to go slow and i gave the “larger athletes” of uga the credit due as well, but shortly in to the 2nd u could tell they were getting tired… i also noticed alot of uga players going down with minimal injuries to the broncos… the dawgs didnt look conditioned very well. I cant choose 1 player of the game but Kellen has to take it for being amazing, and 1 of his td celebrations reminded me of the “dork assassin” nickname. lol. Matt Miller looked great and Hedrick is freaky fast (jimmy johns in the offseason?). on the 1st punt i said “elkin has not been very good”— he must’ve heard me and decided to shut me up. and Gavins played amazingly.
It sounds like Georgia fans are being civil..
But if any of them pull the Murray had a bad game card.. Or anyone QB in any game. He is part of your team. If he is capable of having a bad game it means he isn’t a great QB making your team not as good as you once thought.
Thats why the Broncos are so good. Kellen doesn’t have bad games
No one is playing any "bad game" cards
From my initial reading of Georgia sites, there’s a lot of bitter, bitter feelings about how the Dawgs performed (mainly because it was so much like last year’s performances after months of talk about big changes), but everyone is also giving mad props to the Broncos. Certainly the DL play and the offensive execution were exactly as advertised. Hope you guys get to the MNC game. And thanks for the hospitality during the offseason.

Solid game all around. Congrats on Keving getting in the press box. I sure loved watching all of the UGA players tapping there helmets for subs when we were running the hurry up after halftime.
Big Win
Febis missing this game was a concern and it showed. Georgia scored twice going over the top of the secondary, the fill in guys looked lost at times. He needs to get back in action ASAP. The O line was dominant. D line looked great as well. Murray was sacked 6 times to Kellen’s zero. BSU’s receivers looked great, I almost didn’t miss hearing Young and Pettis called out. Great win for BSU, lots of work to do in the upcoming months.

What was strange for me
was how calm I was before the game started. Completely different than last year when I almost puked ( twice) before we played VaTech. Not so this year. I guess I have too much confidence in Pete, Kellen and co.
Kellen Moore
Was my pick but D.J. Harper comes in a close second. He played amazing. Now with that said, I could not submit a vote for my other favorite, the “Boise State Offense” vote, “Boise State Defense” vote, “Boise State Special Teams” vote and the “Kevan Lee” vote. That’s just special…
What about Brad Elkin? I think he deserves some MUCH needed credit:

This sucks.
All anyone cares about is the ‘big’ LSU win. Looked like Oregon beat Oregon to me…it’s not hard to get huge TD runs when there is no one anywhere near you. fat kids can do that. Auburn (win or not) got taught a lesson by a wac team, ole miss lost to BYU, and i bet ‘bama gets upset by penn state. Uga is a top sec title contender and they are getting treated like the same team as last year, even though it was the toughest D we’ve seen. So lame. Even if we won the NC, I’m pretty sure we would get zero respect, after what I’m hearing in the sports world tonight. Way to cut the balls off both our teams.

by Gavins. He looked like a pure shut down corner. Don’t hate on me too much, be I never saw Kyle Wilson in position like that…running stride for stride in a receivers hip pocket with consistency. He looked rock solid in coverage. I was stoked.
Elkin probably deserves player of the game. Was it 6 or 7 punts inside the 20? That’s pretty demoralizing to an offense.

Yeah, they're pretty raw right now
I’ve been watching Dawg Sports tonight, and they are — well — let’s just say it’s not a good night to be a fire hydrant in Athens. They set up a thread just for rants, bitches, and letting off steam, which is good and healthy. But the overwhelming consensus of the posters, as I read it, is that the Bulldogs gave the game to the Broncos through poor coaching (somewhat true), poor play calling (somewhat true) and inability of their players to perform. I don’t think I saw ONE blogger give even a few props to Boise for being an exceptional team, except for Coach Pete. They want him.
It’s pretty bad, as it looks like they’re eating their own. They really don’t seem to understand that a better team beat them tonight, and that they still have a very good team. But there’s no credit to the Broncos for being that good — except those Dawgs who post here on OBNUG, of course. They’ve always been relatively gracious, and we thank them.
Let’s schedule the next BSU-UGA game. Time to break the tie!
There's a lot of anger directed at their coaching staff
They were definitely not in the mood to hear somebody say “cheer up.”
I saw your comment over there. That was about the best, only thing any Broncos fan could say w/o getting the banhammer.

Outplaying them?
Yes, that’s exactly what we’re giving you credit for. Congrats, you beat a middle-of-the-pack AQ school that won’t see the polls again the rest of the season. Since the BCS rankings don’t come out until October, and TCU already crapped the bed, you probably won’t play a single team that ever appears in the BCS rankings. You still (to my knowledge) haven’t beaten a single AQ team that went on to win a decent bowl game. Oregon and Stanford both got whacked in BCS games the years you beat them.

And he started which I thought he deserved so much that I couldn’t shut up about it. With just over 2:00 left in the game I went down to the railing to take pictures and slap hands with the boys. I got an AMAZING series of both McClellin’s and Root’s sacks on UGA’s last offensive series. As I was slapping hands with all the guys afterwards I saw Jarrell coming and yelled JJJJAAAAARRREELLLLLLLLL just like his mom does at all the games and he laughed pretty good. Crissie if you shoot me your email I’ll email you the picture series. Its pretty awesome. You can see Jarrell come streaking around the outside and just BLOW MURRAY UP. Pretty much the exact same thing with McClellin except you can see McClellin a little better ‘cuz he was on my side of the field. I may up load them somewhere and post a link, I haven’t decided yet.

Man Bronco nation, I am so excited and pleased with this effort.
Did you guys see all the empty seats in the 4th? Wow!
Some of the things I noticed;
- BSU players were well conditioned AND we were able to get our D the rest they needed by sustaining long drives. This is something UGA couldn’t do virtually all night and their defense paid the penalty for it.
- Aside from cramping up, severla Dawg defenders appeared to receive other minor injuries as well, including 355 pound Kwami Geathers I believe. Who would have thought it would be the Boys in Blue serving up the punishment against these titans>
- Kellen Moore had their D figured by the 3rd drive. To their credit, UGA was able to get consistent pressure all night and played very soundly until they were gassed. But Moore flat out was able to find the holes like he always does. Kellen Moore unlocks a defense like a can opener takes the lid off a can, it’s just a matter of time.
- Aaron Murray played really well but he was under assault all night. Hats off to our boys for getting into that backfield.
- Take away that 80 yd. run by Boykin and BSU controlled UGA’s run game with authority. Great efforts by Crowell but no one (except Nevada) runs on Boise St.
- Speaking of Crowell; I had expected him to be able to run when he came in but I felt pass blocking is where having a true freshman would hurt. It did, directly resulting in an INT and seizing the momentum back for BSU after an INT of our own.
- BSU Special Teams; O – M – G
- Deep passes; TCU got burnt time and time again last night for the very same reasons, youth in the secondary. This is something that will fix itself as the season wears on.
- BSU CB’s; we got some good ones don’t we hehe
- Doug Martin; Good Lord man, what a beast! His yanking and jumping fwd carrying UGA players twice his size with him whelped set the tone for our physicality. I love watching that guy run…his jukes and spins were a thing of beauty as well.
- DJ Harper…what an athlete man. Really good RB.
- Matt Miller; secretly a tremendous worry for me that I chose not to voice prior to the game. I was concerned about his experience after spending his freshman year on a bike rather than the practice field. Wow, no worries now! Burroughs looks savvy in there…dependable receiver.
- Grant Hedrick; I’m looking fwd to seeing him develop to say the least.

Gotta give Doug Martin credit.
I honestly think he wore down the uga defense himself…. every single yard he got he was carrying 1-2 defenders as he got it, and only went down in the backfield when 4+ surged through on him. His power got us those 1st couple 3-5 yrd gains that kept us from 3rd and 10s the whole night.
yes,
#’s werent pretty but he played sooooo good! Only thing that will stop him from being recognized as the best rb in college football is DJ Harper and thats a good thing for BSU!

I knew it
BSU was gonna win. And we used a lot of no-huddle. Petersen was at UO and learned something about running the hurry-up
As noted by many on here, the no huddle was a UGA D killer.
I saw the D line with their hands on their hips at the end of the first quarter. That’s a dead give a way. The new UGA conditioning coach = FAIL.

might have been my favorite part of the game…You don’t see that much plus I kept hearing from Dawg backers that the no-huddle wouldn’t cause a problem even with 330lbs+ defensive linemen, oh okay, apparently the SEC defies the laws of common-sense and physics…..or not…

Florida St. has their Sod Graveyard
where they steal a patch of turf from an opponent’s turf after a victory in a big game, bring it back home, and plant it in their “cemetary” with the opponent’s name, the date of the game, and the score.
Boise St. plays on a blue field known simply as The Blue. What many people don’t realize is that it’s not turf, it’s real grass that is fed with the blood of all the Blue-Blood teams they have taken down and protected by Air Cover. There’s no team in America as American as the Boise St. Broncos and that’s worth defending. Go Broncos!

I would agree with the poor planning notion. I was wondering all night when they were going to test out our safety or lack of having an experienced safety. They didn’t really take any shots there until late in the 3rd after the deficit was established. Missing Febis showed a definite weakness for the Broncos. I think the momentum of this one could have turned south for BSU early. Overall Georgia’s run defense looked solid. A lack of pressure on Kellen proved fatal in the end. Here’s to hoping BSU runs the table the rest of the way and gets a big bowl as a reward. All of Bronco nation will now cheer for Georgia because the better they do in the SEC the better the Broncos chances of a big bowl berth. TCU hosed us, if they don’t get their act together Georgia will be the only ranked opponent for BSU this year. Not good. Go Big Blue and from here on out, go Dawgs :-) Oh and in my humble opinion, the highlight of the game was the interview with Herschel Walker. What a class act.

Why didn't we test your safety's?
It’s called BoBlow, he’s had this same game plan for 2 years now. He hasn’t figured out it doesn’t work yet and we’ll have a new coach next year.
Richt is a good man but he’s loyal to a fault.

Maybe a leadership overhaul is just what Georgia needs. I was a Dan Hawkins fan when he was at the helm for the Broncos. When he took the Colorado job I thought it might be trouble for Boise. I think it is safe to say that it all worked out well for BSU. Now if Petersen ever leaves we may be in trouble.

appreciate you, and hang in there
You guys have some good things to build on. Murray and Boykin did very well, and Crowell also did great for his first game. The Georgia run defense was impressive. Doug and DJ had to fight and claw and drag Bulldogs for every yard they got. (As a Bronco homer I have to add that our best blocker Dan Paul was injured, but still.) Keep faith in your team. Bronco Nation will be behind you.
UGA v. SCar.
Marcus Lattimore will be contained very well, I think. Garcia might be another thing, though. I do know it should be a good game and I think Georgia is up to the challenge of dethroning the Gamecocks.

Well, well.....
There was only one position on the field or on the sidelines in which Georgia was clearly better than Boise. That was tight end, and I think that says it all.
Kellen Moore definitely looks like a left-handed Drew Brees. He just sits back and reads a defense like it was the Cat in the Hat. It probably doesn’t help running a zone where players are left uncovered all through the middle, but that QB of yours is something special.
Your team was easily the better coached, smarter, and fundamentally sound team. Our guys might be bigger, but personally I would rather have your Maserati than our Humvee. As I said on the Dawg Sports site, I walked away from that dome depressed and impressed. I went into the game expecting to lose, but hoping that our team would at least be improved and at least make a game of it. That did not happen.
Good game y’all. I hope you run the table and somehow sneak into the MNC game. (I only say sneak because UGA is not going to do you any favors with strength of schedule and TCU does not look very good at all.) Personally, after sitting through that misery last night I think that there are only 2 or 3 teams in college ball that could run with you right now. Alabama, Oklahoma and maybe, just maybe, LSU (though I think Oregon handed them that game last night.)
Good luck on your season!

For the kind words from you and all the other Dawg fans on here. We in Boise definitely appreciate it. We’ll all be pulling for Georgia the rest of the season, and I think Georgia should do fine. Hopefully they study the SC-ECU tape and figure out how ECU kept SC on their heels for most of that game, and follow suit. Beating them would break in that strong SEC East run and you guys should be able to handle it from there. Either way, good luck to you guys and hopefully you put together a solid season, much better than last year.

For what it is worth...
…that’s an opinion. I happen to share it. I can’t prove it, nor can you guys disprove it. If you think Georgia was deserving of a top 20 ranking in hindsight, then I can see where you’re coming from. Georgia won’t be in the top 25 this afternoon (probably won’t receive any votes at all), and is not very likely to make a return at all this season. I’ve watched a lot of college football, and a lot of very good college football (I’ve seen plenty of national championship teams in person), and my snap judgement of Boise hasn’t changed. I think they’re more talented than a team in Idaho should be, they’re well-coached and execute with incredible precision, but they’re not at team that belongs in the national title discussion at this point based on a win over a Georgia team that somehow managed to regress from last season.
Unfortunately, we’re probably never going to know how good Boise is this year. The best team you guys play is probably going to be TCU, and we’ve already seen that they aren’t anything special. Perhaps Air Force or Nevada will be decent. That’s it.
My guess is that Toledo gives Boise a tougher game than UGA did last night, at least in the second half.

I know this Georgia team. I’ve seen great Georgia teams, I’ve seen good ones, I’ve seen mediocre ones, and I’ve seen bad ones. Last year was a bad one, and this year looks like a carbon copy.
You guys might be the greatest thing since sliced bread, but we won’t ever know because you’re probably not going to face a single top 25 team this year. I wish we could have given you an opportunity to prove yourselves against a legitimate power. It would certainly make this fall a lot more enjoyable for me. Therefore, we’re left to having to compare what we saw last night on the field to what we’ve seen from other great teams. That your opinion differs from mine isn’t “butthurt”.

So, FD, if you guys somehow run your table, does that still make us

If you want to call your team total cr*" that’s your business. But playing your team does not make us any less of a top whatever contender. You can couch it in “may be sliced bread” adages, however, your attitude is not one of appreciating the skills that you just witnessed. Too bad. You missed watching an outstanding team.

I’ll paint my grass blue and wear a Boise State t-shirt every day of the week (which I would be horribly embarrassed to do given your godawful color scheme). It would certainly prove me wrong with respect to Georgia AND Boise State, and my opinion would change a great deal.
The truth is, this was a 6-7 team last year that appears to have regressed. I don’t expect to even be competitive in the SEC East, and it is weaker than it has been since the SEC went to divisions in 1992. I appreciate how efficient the Boise team I just saw in person was, and I appreciate how they physically dominated UGA on the line. I appreciated the same thing when I saw Mississippi State do it to us last year, though.

I thought I saw moments of light.
Your defense only has work to do in the secondary. Up front, they were strong and powerful. I thought Mark Richt was coaching very well for a bit. You could tell he and Coach Pete knew what they saw on film and were adjusting for it.
That said, I do think Richt or the OC needs to become more aggressive. Even I was almost predicting what they were going to do late in the 2rd quarter. I was very surprised they didn’t take more shots downfield (sans Gavins side of the field)

How about...
A “Whole Team” option? We had a lot of standout guys, and guys who stepped up to fill big shoes. Kellen Moore tore that secondary apart, little pieces at a time. Matt Miller stepped up and there was a faint moment during the game where I forgot all about Bold1. Mitch Burroughs has undoubtedly change a lot of our minds about his past performances. O Line held up very well against those 300+lb brutes, and only allowed them anywhere near Kellen a handful of times – saying quite a lot since only 3 of them were returning starters, and one was out partway through the game. Our D line destroyed, I mean 6 sacks against an SEC team is crazy, almighty Auburn with the dirty Nick Fairley only took Aaron Murray down 4 times in their meeting last year. Our secondary wasn’t spectacular, but better than I expected. Gavins had a standout game, and it was even better because it was the first time his mom got to see him play live and he’s a senior, feel great for him. Ioane needs a little work but he’s still young, we’ve got plenty of time to get him going. And special teams, wow… Elkin blew me away with those rugby kicks. Sweet return by Potter, and overall good performance by the rest of the guys. Georgia was a good team, and between players being out of the game before it started, and injuries, they lost a lot of key talent. I still believe we would’ve held our own either way, just glad it wasn’t as close as I predicted.

Exactly
Win or lose, we had a solid effort across the board – there wasn’t a single specific player that I could call out for being at fault, or not doing their job. They all put out their best effort. Gavins didn’t let Boykin past him, he bounced off a block, redirected to go the opposite direction, and tried his best to catch up, it just wasn’t enough. And that tight end of theirs, well he was just good, I don’t think it mattered much who was covering him, if he wanted the ball, he was going to get it.

Back again
Sorry after my first post that I was gone, had a family trip with little internet access. Watched the game again today and what Boise does best is that they are poised to no end. They don’t let a play or a bad series affect the next next one. They also did a great job of taking away what Georgia tried to do (throw deep) and took advantage of what Georgia was giving them on defense (the underneath stuff). I think that more than anything showed the difference in Moore versus Murray. Murray often stuck with his deep receivers when they were covered and didn’t settle for dump offs. Moore was patient as can be and had no problems hitting whoever was open even if it was only for a 2 yard gain. I thought your OC did a great job of using the no huddle. To me it was not so much about how much it wore down the D but it forced the D to not be able to run as many blitzes as they did early. That left Georgia with a 3 to 4 man rush on most downs and gave Moore the time he needed. With time he is going to pick apart any defense. The no huddle and the right QB to run it was a HUGE factor. Also your young receivers stepped up and made plays for Moore. The Boise defense made Georgia work for every inch they got and as I stated before Georgia didn’t have the patience and execution to make long drives against a very tough defense.
