GOOD AFTERNOON GENTLEMEN!! COLLEGE FOOTBALL IS BACK AND ALONG WITH THAT MY LIFE IS BACK!! HAHA
TONIGHT WE HAVE TWO TEAMS BREAKING IN NEW QB'S. MICHIGAN ST WITH ANDREW MAXWELL AND BOISE ST WITH JOE SOUTHWICK. BOTH QB'S HAVE SHOWED ALOT OF PROMISE IN THE SPRING AND BOTH COACHES ARE CONFIDENT EACH QB CAN LEAD THEM TO SUCCESS. WHAT I LIKE TO DO AFTER NOT SEEING A WHOLE LOT OF GAME FILM ON EACH QB IS I LIKE TO WATCH INTERVIEWS OF THE PLAYERS TO DETERMINE WHICH ONE SEEMS SHARPER.

FROM THE TWO INTERVIEWS I'M MORE IMPRESSED WITH SOUTHWICK. HE SEEMS LIKE A VERY BRIGHT KID. HE ALSO HAS A STRONG ARM AND IS MOBILE. IN MY VIEW BOISE ST HAS THE BETTER QB HERE.
NOW ALOT HAS BEEN SAID ABOUT MICHIGAN ST'S DEFENSE ABOUT HOW DOMINANT THEY WERE LAST SEASON AND HOW THEY WILL BE AGAIN THIS SEASON. WHILE THERE IS NOW DOUBT THEY ARE GOOD I DONT BELIEVE THEY ARE DOMINANT. THEY DID PLAY SOME INEPT OFFENSES LAST YEAR SUCH AS NEBRASKA. OHIO ST, INDIANA, CENTRAL MICHIGAN ETC....WHAT PEOPLE SEEM TO FORGET HOWEVER IS HOW THEY WERE SLICED AND DICED BY GEORGIA AND WISCONSIN LAST YEAR.
RUNNING AT THAT DEFENSE FOR BOISE ST IS SHIFTY 6 YEAR SENIOR DJ HARPER WHO PROBABLY IS THE MOST TALENTED RB BOISE ST HAS HAD THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS. KNEE INJURIES HAVE HELD HIM BACK FROM BEING "THE STUD" IN THE BRONCO STABLE. HERE'S A HIGHLIGHT VIDEO OF THIS GUY, HE IS AWESOME!!

JUST WHAT YOU NEED AGAINST AN OVER AGGRESSIVE MICHIGAN ST DEFENSE. THE BRONCOS HAVE A VERY EXPERIENCED OFFENSIVE LINE AND SHOULD BE ABLE TO HOLD THEIR OWN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AGAINST THE SPARTAN DEFENSIVE FRONT.
I EXPECT ALOT OF MISDIRECTION PLAYS AND SCREEN PASSES FROM BOISE ST TONIGHT AS MICHIGAN ST MOST LIKELY WILL BE BLITZING LIKE CRAZY TO KEEP SOUTHWICK OUT OF BALANCE. HE DOES HAVE WR MATT MILLER TO THROW TO WHO'S COMING OFF A SENSATIONAL FRESHMAN SEASON.
ANOTHER KEY FOR BOISE ST TO WIN TONIGHT IS THAT THEY NEED TO CONTROL SPARTAN WORKHORSE RB LAVEON BELL FROM BREAKING OUT FOR BIG GAINS. WHILE HE CAN DEFINITELY POUND OUT YARDS I DONT SEE HIM BREAKING ANY HUGE RUNS AS HE SIMPLY JUST DOESNT HAVE THE SPEED. IF BOISE CAN MAKE THAT HAPPEN IT MEANS MAXWELL IS GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE SOME PLAYS TONIGHT THROUGH THE AIR TO A VERY INEXPERIENCED WR UNIT. I JUST DONT SEE IT HAPPENING AS THE BRONCOS HAVE A VERY STRONG SECONDARY WITH NFL PROSPECT CB JAMES TAYLOR LEADING IT.
COACHING WISE YEAR IN YEAR OUT EVERYONE ALWAYS DOUBTS BOISE'S CHRIS PETERSON IN THE OPENING GAME OF THE SEASON. HOWEVER PETERSON EVERY YEAR GETS THE BIG W FOR THE BRONCOS. LAST YEAR AGAINST GEORGIA AND THE YEAR BEFORE THAT AGAINST OREGON. THE GUY IS PROBABLY A TOP 5 COACH IN THE COUNTRY AND HIS TEAM WITH TIME TO PREPARE FOR THE SPARTANS WILL GET YET AGAIN ANOTHER OPENING GAME BIG WIN.
PERSONALLY I'M GONNA PLAY IT SAFE AND TAKE THE POINTS AS BOISE ST SHOULD COVER THIS GAME EASILY.
BOISE ST BRONCOS +7

. All jokes aside I def respect the fact you backing up your play with logical points and no doubt peterson is one of the best coaches in the country. i just feel as though the losses to graduation will be too much for the boroncos to overcome this early in the year
