Boise State looked great this week beating Air Force 37-26. Oh, wait a minute, Air Force? Boise, you were picked to win by 28! Can anyone say "overrated"? They play nobody yet get so much credit you would think they're beating the best teams in the country.
Boise State's best game this season will probably be TCU later on in the year-- they may even lose that game. And how about that sad blue field? The team's blue uniforms blend right right into the playing field, making it hard to see the players on the field. Talk about an unfair home team advantage. If this team would play a good, or even average, team from a top conference, they would more than likely lose.
Quarterback Kellen Moore who currently is a Heisman trophy candidate is having an excellent season but I have little faith in this team. Their offense is one of the best in the country but the defense will not be able to stop a team that has a good offense. They wouldn't match up with a team like Penn State.
Penn State has a terrific defense that would completely shut down the Broncos offense. Since they are almost completely one dimensional on offense and Penn State has a good run defense Boise State wouldn’t match up well. Though to beat Boise Penn State would have to get it going with a shaky offense that finally came to life last week against Northwestern scoring 34 points behind running back Silas Redd’s strong performance. Penn State would be able to beat Boise State by at least a ten point margin.
Penn State is number 19 in the BCS this week while Boise State sits at number four. Before saying they are so great, look at the schedule. The BCS has no sympathy for them, and it seems they only move up when teams in front of them lose. You can call yourself the number four team in the country for now but you obviously are not. Play five decent opponents in a season and we will talk.
