Other facts
1. A Sellout, Perhaps?
Y’all know the rules. Be there or be square (or any quadrilateral you like) Make it happen.
2. Senior Day!
Somehow. Sadly. This is it for the regular season. Enjoy it while it lasts, people.
3. Threadz
All-Blue? No excuses people. Ya’ll need to wear blue too so we can really get that camo in effect.
4. Older Memreees
Despite our victory, it was this day that I knew that playing Air Force would always suck.
5. Newer Memreees
Streaks
Boise State – Won 2
Losing Team – Lost 3
Best Name On Their Roster
Not Weston Steelhammer, sorry Dave Southorn.
Celebrating my last chance to use this one, I had to back back to senior DE Andrew BoisD’Enghien
Friends call him Andrew CityofTrees’Enghien.
Best Picture On Their Roster
Just when I was about to give up, Junior WR Parker St. John came to the rescue.
Players To Watch
Zac Larrier, QB
This is more about if he will be there (or not). Troy Calhoun said he would not play today, but I’m keeping him out here just in case.
John Lee Eldridge III, RB
There is always someone eating in the triple option, and John is one of those many. Another guy that has been hurt, although I believe he will be playing today.
Alex Mock, LB
The senior LB has been all over the field. Depending on how heavy we lean on the run, his name could prove big down the stretch.
Keys to Victory
Robust Numbering System
Word is that Boise will have a distinct number for each player on the field, and these players will not be found on the field at the same time. This will prove huge should Troy Calhoun try to pull another fast one.
Multiple Dimensional Offense
While some might imagine an offense that transcends space and time, I’m imagining an offense that hits all the open receivers. If TG can knock off the rust and make some good reads, I’ll feel a lot more comfy tomorrow.
Score Prediction
I am decidedly less confident than most on this one, but man I want this one. Broncos win a close one in the pre-MWCCG.
Boise State 24, Air Force 21
All the talking heads are talking blowout. They say they feel it. Wanting something, feeling something, and actually doing something are three different things. Sometimes that feeling is your own butt about to be kicked. Let the talking heads deal with “feelings.” The players must focus; kick a$$ and take names.
Remember what Airforce has done in the past.
O stalled out, but Dalmas comes through.
FG for 3
Lets go Boise!
Play fast, play smart.
Lets go D!
Yes! That’s another potato sack
Nice pass by Green, great catch by Smith.
Nooooooo! Green int
Come on D make a stop
There it is! Great 3rd down D
