serious football question
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.

everybody assumes we're gonna win because we're easily a top 15 team at home, our constant crap on the road is why we're gonna win 7 games.
-
kind of a mute point since we'll end up at 7 wins and qualify for one of the prestigious 64 bowl slots.

I don't know if Boise is good or not, but I do know at the end of the year they'll be a better team than the Dawgs.
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"

I feel like the Huskies will win the Boise game. For Sark to maintain being an average coach he needs to win a few games against decent teams to set up the fact he'll blow one or two games we have no business losing.
Anyways it doesn't matter as the season is already over. -
LOL Not a ton of confidence in this thread........you're not alone, very few Bronco fans expect to win this game, hell some think we might get smashed.....which is kind of bizarre, considering we beat UW in December minus our best player. I honestly don't know what to expect. Both teams assume certain positions will improve (O-Line for UW, QB/RB/Run blocking for BSU, etc.)....will that be the case? Not sure. I personally don't think we win, but making a prediction seems impossible. So many unknown factors. I do think a lot weighs on whether ASJ plays or not.....which I bet we won't know until game time.

There was a website, maybe Football Outsiders that had UW ranked in the top 15 at home and like 60th on the road.LocalKineBronco said:LOL Not a ton of confidence in this thread........you're not alone, very few Bronco fans expect to win this game, hell some think we might get smashed.....which is kind of bizarre, considering we beat UW in December minus our best player.

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. -
Actually, the ASJ punishment will be a good barometer for how secure Sark feels about his job status.HeretoBeatmyChest said:

Can't really disagree with much of that. Coach Pete's teams typically hit the ground running, but this particular group has yet to prove they can replicate their predecessors. I would be more confident if Southwick hadn't been so average last season. ASJ's status will be critical.....but it will take a serious turnaround in the off-season from this Southwick-led team to win in Seattle. I think we'll return to our Top-15 level in 2014....we're recruiting very well, but this current team still feels very "transitional". I could be proven wrong, but Southwick doesn't breed much confidence in fans.HeretoBeatmyChest said:There was a website, maybe Football Outsiders that had UW ranked in the top 15 at home and like 60th on the road.
