Not trying to sound cocky but Fresno is the only team I see being able to compete with us simply because of talent in the trenches.  Florida State got beat by us, due to our big ugly guys

You do remind me of a little rooster strutting around   

But   

You need to watch more football.  There was a lot of quality line play in week 1 from a few different teams.   This will be a physical year that will be decided on the line.  Yes the young qb’s played well, but it is a long season and it will come down to the run game.

Speaking of which, that was the best run game Boise State has displayed in many years.

We will see how long Wyoming can hold up with their 180 lb defensive ends and 210 lb tackles.

Is the story of the week for the MW. Both Boise and Nevada games followed a similar path with freshman QBs struggling in the first half, and coming alive in the 2nd half. Such an awesome win for Boise, I'm pumped! To win that game in Tallahassee in brutal weather and a change of schedule shows incredible poise. 

 

Just based on the first half of the first week, this looks like this might be the deepest the conference has been in awhile, and the future looks great!

 

Hopefully Fresno and Wyoming can keep the momentum going. 

 

 

EDIT: Its also eerie how they were both 30/51 in their first start.

I'm not sure what you meant by Hank struggling in the first half. He led 5 scoring drives and the offense had 333 yards at halftime. He even had a TD pass called back because his receiver inexplicably stepped out of bounds. That's very, very good. Who wouldn't take that?

With out a doubt.  It looked really good.  I thought the entire league held its own in the trenches nicely

Proud little rooster.  I’m going to let the season play out.

Agreed. That was a physically dominating performance.

Why start now?  You were ready to call it before it began last week.

For old MWC fans, Chambers=Van Pelt.  

I Want to hate this due to my feelings toward van pelt but I think it's pretty accurate.

Struggling probably isn't an accurate word for Bachmeier in the first half because they did move the ball and put up 19 points, but it was "struggling" compared to his second half:

First half: 14-29, 192 yds, 0 TD, 1 INT, 4 sacks

Second half: 16-22, 215 yds, 1 TD, 0 INT, 1 sack

The one thing from Friday that terrifies me: was the Purdue d-line that good, or was our o-line that bad?  When a 3-man rush is consistently making Strong move around and allowing Purdue to drop 8, that’s a major problem.
