Please Spay Your Pets Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 This one’s for all the marbles baby. My money’s on Boise. Home crowd Surging momentum. Late night kickoff (our players are actually half vampire) Rediscovered running game Returning starters #fingerscrossed Somewhat consistent QB play Like I said... I’m liking our chances. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HooknLiberty Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 USU reminds me of Boise teams from the late 90s early 2000s. Won a lot of games. Destroyed a lot if woeful teams. And usually got beat by teams with more talent (ala the trip to South Carolina). We could beat more talented teams with near perfect execution, but slip up and most likely a loss was eminent. These days we don't execute nearly as well as we did in those days, but we can still win while having off days. If Boise has an off day and USU is on, they'll probably win. If Boise isn't having an off game though, it's theirs to lose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Boise isn't having an off game though, it's theirs to lose. I think both USU and BSU are capable of playing very well and very poorly. High ceilings and very low basements, if that makes any sense. If both teams play well I think it’s a good game. 4 Quote There are only two things I can't stand in this world: people who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.

HooknLiberty Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I think the odds of USU playing a better game are higher than Boise. But if they both play a good game, it's Boise's win. Makes for a pretty interesting game. Boise is the more talented, bigger stronger faster team, but they seem to have a lot of head scratchers lately. USU is a lot more dialed in lately. I really miss the days when Boise would win against obviously more talented teams through execution. Those were fun times. It seems like by the mid to late 2010s we did both, which was an amazing time to be a Bronco fan. The Harsin haters don't think he has it in him to get us back there. The believers either don't care as much or believe he'll get us there eventually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naggsty Butler Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I have absolutely no salt in me. After that game, I would say Boise beats the hell out of us. I really hope not, because I bought tickets for the game and am driving from Seattle, but my confidence for that game just plummeted. 2 Quote "BYU is like a 4-year-long church dance with 20,000 chaperones all waiting for you to forget to shave one morning so they can throw you out." -GeoAg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you went position by position as to who is better- it would be pretty close, IMO. We have all conference players scattered on both offense and defense, as does Boise. 1 Quote There are only two things I can't stand in this world: people who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.

kingpotato Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 USU will be the highest ranked away team to ever play on the Blue.

roughrider Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 USU will be favored. Question is by how much? Boise is deeper on paper because of recruiting rankings I guess. But that crap is thrown out once they hit campus as we all know. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
