Watching the Michigan St/Boise St game

[KingCoug]

Like I've been saying, Boise State is not going to be a pushover, despite so many new players. Any BYU fan who thinks we're going to go up there and just dominate hasn't been paying attention or is in denial. Boise State's strength is the built in system Petersen has created, which helps him to reload rather than rebuild. And few, if any, are better than he is at X's and O's. His teams never quit and they usually seem to find a way.

I'm not saying we can't win. We can. But it's going to be a very, very tough game. Especially considering we have a short week after playing Utah and they play Miami (OH). And we have to play up there where they've lost once in 6 years.

Don't kid yourselves. Our guys better strap it on for this game.

So do you think that msu's d is better than ours? A lot better?

No, I think our D is a match for their's. Maybe better. I worry about Petersen's superior X's and O's. Plus the home/away factor. Plus relative difficulty of games the week before.

I haven't been impressed by bsu. The msu rb has outgained the entire bsu o.

No, they won't be a pushover, but this game is VERY sloppy, neither their O nor D has been particularly impressive. They should be thankful that MSU receivers have a hard time catching and holding onto passes.

By the way, apologies to scott715 for duplicating his thread on the Boise State/Michigan State game. Maybe the two can be merged?

Has anyone actually watched the whole game? By the looks of the box score it looks like BSU is extremely fortunate to be in this game. It doesn't sound like Peterson's X's and O's have been that big of a deal, but turnovers are the main story.

Ive watched almost the whole game. MSU has completely dominated, but keeps turning the ball over. BSU shouldn't be within 3 scores of MSU right now. The MSU RB has physically dominated the BSU D, and has outgained the entire BSU O by himself.

BSU just isn't that good folks.

So if their D is a match for our D, then you just saw that Petersen's superior x's and o's won't help them much. BSU fails to score an offensive TD. Sounds kind of familiar.

Whether they "should" or "shouldn't," they are. And they're playing away against a solid Michigan State team.

Nobody is saying this is the same caliber Boise State team of recent years. They're vulnerable. However, when you take all the factors into account, BYU fans shouldn't expect a walk in the park. Expect a tough game, folks.
