While Boise State did end up winning by 21 points, the game was still a little too close for comfort for too much of the game. But you know what isn’t too close for comfort? Game Balls.
Game Ball One:
Jeremiah Earby
Mr. Earby had four total tackles (all solo) but really shined through was the ball-hawk skills with two interceptions. The defensive effort netted him Mountain West Defensive Player of the Week. Which is good!
Congrats Mr. Earby!
Game Ball Two:
A’marion McCoy
The Boise State Real McCoy didn’t want to let Earby have all the fun and went up and got himself his own interception, his fourth on the season and third game in a row with a turnover. As a reminder, McCoy was able to house two of those INTs for touchdowns. With four games left, what are the odds of McCoy garnering first-team All-Mountain West? What more what he need to do?
Anyway, he’s already first-teamer in my book anyway.
Congrats, Mr. McCoy!
Game Ball Three:
Sire Gaines (sport)
Mr. Gaines led the Broncos with 62 yards on 17 carries. He also had one of the two rushing touchdowns (Mr. Dylan Riley had the other). The rushing game did take a bit to get going but I guess better late than never. Looking to see these numbers bump up next week.
Congrats, Mr. Gaines!
Your Turn
Lets here some opinions, folks!
Good choices, without a doubt. Let’s steamroll Fresno St. so badly that you need you hand out game balls to the entirety of all three squads!
What was the third touchdown? An apparition? Let me see, could it be, MADSEN!.
Come on, man, give him credit for something.
On the final scoring drive, it took over eight minutes and kept the Broncos’ defense off the field, Madsen went five for five.
Just an opinion, of course.
