Come one, come all, the friendless and the shut-in and the flu-stricken and the utterly addicted. It's Wednesday night, and that means Live! Minor! Conference! Action! This week, Boise State travels to Tulsa, and we tell you why you should care.
So: what's Boise State made of?
The pieces are all there. Quarterback Kellen Moore has 13 touchdowns in
five games and is on track for another 3,000-yard season with not a
whole lot of stout defenses in front of him. His improvement is
palpable, and so is that of his protection: Last year's 10
interceptions and 13 sacks dwarf this year's two and three at the
season's midway point. The Broncos have the 27th-ranked run defense
behind Jeremy Avery, and have allowed opponents to score over 16 points
only once, in a 51-34 shootout with Fresno State. Those opposing teams,
however, are hardly Murderers' Row: Oregon (sputtering opening-night
edition), Miami (Ohio), Fresno State, Bowling Green, and UC-Davis have
hardly allowed a glimpse at Boise State's true potential, however lofty
or lowly.
