I have seen Boise State ranked from 15 to 20. Dawgs are ranked around 45.
Is the Boise State game a lock? I'm hearing 4-0 before the plunger comes out of the closet.
Is Boise State good? We know they have a better coach but uw will have a new stadium. I guess the offense is solid, oline issues though and young corners?
Does UW win rather easily say 35-17?
Sark cannot lose that game, he cant afford to sit ASJ.

We should win the game: at home, new stadium, probably better talent if the truth be know, etc but this is Cream Puff's team. Anything could happen. I'll always pick the team that has good coaching and is tough, physical year in and year out, even if the talent is not always the best. That team is Boise.
The Dawgs have terrible coaching, are bubble bath soft year in and year out, and are highly skilled at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. My pick is Boise State.
The opener with Boise is just a stepping stone to the New Mexico Bowl.
"Woof"
Anyways it doesn't matter as the season is already over.
No disrespect to Boise who is extremely well-coached and disciplined- the parallel opposite of UW, but frankly its a middle of the road game on the schedule. Even though Boise's best player will play, UW returns more talent on paper, UW had more talent last year, UW is much tougher at home and most important- its the first game of the season which benefits UW more because it has more experience returning and the coaching advantage for Peterson would be smallest at the start of the year (I.e. His cumulative impact in week 12 would be far greater than in week 1).
UW will win by 10 or 14 and it won't tell us jack shit about the season, though I fully expect local and even national media will make a big deal out of it. Then we'll struggle to beat Illinois which will remind us how mediocre we are.
I think ASJ is suspended for a half or quarter...or maybe even just a series or two. Sark is not going to risk it much.
The mostly likely place for continued improvement for UW would be defense. We actually have a pretty great front 7 on defense, our set of LBs is the best UW has had in awhile, Shelton (DT/NG) is still a beast and only needs a little bit of help from the rest of the DL. The secondary is somewhat unknown but definitely has the talent necessary.
I disagree with you about the DL. They are far from great. We have no DT's that are even average Pac 12 players after Shelton. If Shelton goes down, the DL becomes one of the worst in the conference. It's too bad the coaches basically wasted two years of Tokalahi's eligibility (2009, 2011). While he was not a star, we sure could use him this year. The one guy who I am curious about is Josh Banks. He made some plays against Stanford, but got hurt shortly after and didn't do much the rest of the season. He might be our best chance at having another solid DT.
Andrew Hudson is a solid player, but he is too small to play DE in the 3-4. However because we don't have many quality guys, he has to out of necessity. Shirley is a good pass rusher, but is basically useless in stopping the run. Once again, because we don't have enough quality guys, he is forced to play in situations where he ideally should not be playing.
The rest of the guys on the DL either suck (Potoae, Tupou, Finau) or are young with little or no experience (Pio V, Littleton, Cree, Turpin, the 3 incoming FR). Getting Jamora back would be great, but who knows what to expect after two ACL tears. Even if he comes back, will he be any good?
Another coaching issue. Is Ivan any good? If so, where's the beef?
On a neutral field BSU wins. In husky stadium UW will roll.
Skill players mean very little without good/great lines. I was laughed off Dogboy when I suggested we recruit 5 - 8 offensive linemen this year and at least 5 in 2015, or keep loading up until the problem is fixed. We keep wasting rides on wideouts. Why? Until we can pound it outside and inside with the running game and our D line can blow up opponents offensive lines we don't need one more wideout.
This is basic highschool football. Cream Puff is one stupid ass mo fo not to understand this.
(When seem to be at least recruiting numbers on the defensive side. We'll see if we have the coaching talent to develop them.)
On a neutral field BSU wins. In husky stadium UW will roll. Listen' I got laughed off dogboy for suggesting they keep 18-20 olinemen on schollie. One of their fucking experts said "no only 16 is necessary". A week fucking later, ON THEIR FUCKING SHOW, Baird said 18-20. NO QUESTION. Those guys are the biggest fucking bunch of sheep over there.
Whatever eklund (never touched a football), Fetters (never touched a diet soda) and Kimmy (never touched a pussy) says people follow. If they'd just give me control dawgman, people would actually show up instead of the same preachers like YALE. Who cares if you went Ivy league. Doesn't matter anymore. The self proclaimed "film expert" is as retarted as Kim is a play analyst. Sick of these band fags pretending they know something about football.
