    Frustrating ending but overall the team performed as I expected (win or close loss), which is better than what all the experts were predicting before the game.

    The team never gave up, the defense got really strong in the second half. The special team is well coached. These are all positives that we can build from and seem like a solid trend with this coaching staff.
    The offensive play calling was the biggest disappointment. It is something to play safe to help Browning, but it is counter productive if the defense can predict every play you are gonna run before the snap.
    The running game. I didn't pay enough attention to the OL but I thought the running game would do much better.

    Hopefully you weren't expecting the defense and special teams to outscore the offense this year

    If we can play that shittily and only lose by 2, there is some hope for the future. This season is still over (we won't compete for pac title). Browning looks like he has what it takes to develop. When he starts to gain command of the offense, we will spread the defense.

    But Boise clearly sucks.

    Lenius is 6'5…hard for him to block a guy legally without holding that is 8 inches shorter.

    Lenius had a great block, Mickens reversed field in front of him so defender reversed and a great block turned into a hold. That happens a lot when players reverse field. 100% on Mickens.

    We couldn't even decapitate one of their QBs...

    Mickens still plays like it's HS.

    But they could have spiked the ball with only a few seconds left on the clock.
    Spiking the ball on fourth down only works for Colorado.

    Or Boise sucks too.

    Browning looks like he can play, but all he is at this point is a guy with some potential. He was terrible before the final drive and made freshman errors on that drive too. It was to be expected, but if we judge him on his game tonight, he sucked.
    As an outsider, I think he is going to be very good and for his first game did a great job. He will be a force in a year and wins some games this year. Lot better than Anu at Arizona, that had the benefit to start as a redshirt freshman with more offensive help.

    I meant not spiking it on 3rd down with 23 seconds still left on the clock. Make Boise call a time out, or spike it with like 5 seconds left and then kick.

    Oh yeah that was dumb. The coaches were trying to get Jake's attention and Jake got it right after he did it.

    I would have been mad if Boise state had scored on the ensuing drive...I am sort of glad the Winkle missed it instead of that happening.

    Maybe from one side of the ball

    nobody expects UW to have Baylor's offense
    I just want Stanford's offense.

    I couldn't tell, but it didn't seem like Boise state was trying very hard to shut down the run but they didn't have to worry about it any way. It as least seems that Browning isn't going to get killed out there and at least has some mobility. But they didn't really let him throw down the field a lot, which I thought was the whole reason you played the freshman and not Lindquist

    Defensive front 7 is going to push Cal's shit in.
