One of the greatest wins I've ever seen BG take....

Yes, Boise State rushed for 169 yards on an SEC Defense.
BG passed for 458 yards on a Big Ten Defense.

I'd say both BG and Boise State have concerns about each other.

One way to find out...

TEE THE BALL UP!! This "3 games in September" sux!!!!

Running for 196 yds on a SEC defense is alot harder than passing for 458 on a B10 secondardy. Thats the cold hard truth.

I found this on the BSU board. Guess who posted it.

I think you guys are going to cream us. The Falcons have laid major eggs on the road on national tv like ESPN or ESPN2. Our defense sucks to high heaven and you will put up probably 60 easy. Our only hope is that our offenses is unstoppable and scores from the outset and scores everytime we get the ball. You guys are coming off a 0-2 start and your boys will be fired up as all get out. We won't be able to stop the bleeding once it starts. I'm hoping just for revenge next year our place.

If Boise had an "offensive jaugernaut" as you put it, they would have scored more than 13 and 27 points in their first two games.

So are you saying we should be able to run the ball pretty well on them? Or Not? :-\

But running for 169 is not.

If you think it's easy to throw for almost 5 bills on a top-half B11 D, you need to watch more football. Certainly Boise has a good ground game, but I think our passing game is comparable at the very least.

Also, as bad as our front 7 has been, Boise's secondary has been just as bad. We are not over matched in this game. I certainly don't expect us to get creamed as you do. It might happen, but I expect a close game.

One thing I don't like about the point spread is more than half the time they are wrong... and besides no one person can say that they are gonna win by 10.5 points or whatever... I saw one thing about a person saying that he follows the betting spread like a bible... well i hope he lost a lot of money...

I don't know if Louisville agrees with that one....

Oh, but the Portland State Vikings of the Big Sky Conference would agree that Oregon State's defense is the best they'll see all year. Granted they have played such powerhouses like UC Davis and Sacramento State thus far and still have to play Northern Colorado, Eastern Washington, Montana St, Northern Arizona, Montana, Idaho St (who UK beat as their only likely win this season), Weber St. and yes Boise St. But despite such powerhouses (Boise excluded of course) I think it's safe to say Portland St. agrees with the falconboy and not U of L.

I think we can run for over 100 yards on them....in other words enough to be considered successful. We are not going to need to run the ball much in this game as porous as their secondary is. They are geared to stop the run and I will be very disappointed in our coaching staff if we don't come out slinging it all over the field.

From reading Boise's mb, they will play single coverage outside in an effort to shut down our run game. If we don't take advantage of our solid receiving core against an overmatched secondary, I'll be a sad panda.

Hey I'm just basing my opinions of this game based on how I've seen us perform in the past in games exactly like this, and we have laid eggs in all them. You might find it hard to belive but I'm praying we reverse that horrid trend once and for all. All I want to see this Wed is some good defense from our falcons.

We've never played in a game exactly like this before.

I think people are way too tough on Falconboy -- but in this case I agree. That's pretty fatalistic.

I'm nervous about this game, too. But, look, this is why we play them -- and it isn't like the game is against Georgia or something.

Ya know what...just as the run opens the pass the pass opens the run. It will be a good game. and as for compairing sec to big ten who do you think would win GA or WI...would GA throw for over 400 and get 100 yards or more in the run...would WI get more than 200 yards of run.....bottom line is it is all speculation.

The lline is still droping down to 6 1/2 most places and the stardust does not set the tone for all sports books....and the line will most lilkely land at 5 to 5 1/2 come game time with high OU say in the upper 90's.

This is going to be a good...na Great Game bettween to two well matched teams.

BGSU is an early 9 point dog....
