I watched the Fresno/Wisconsin game start to finish last week and the announcers and media after the game blamed their lackluster performance on the fact that Wisconsin's team was crushed by the flu last week.  Fresno played well and at times were the more physical team but their 1st yr QB made some bad decisions throwing into triple coverage many times.  He also had these soft touch passes that somehow found their way into Fresno's receivers hands but that stuff won't work against Boise's defense.  Boise's coaches know Fresno quite well and vice versa however Boise's defense has yielded only 8 points this season.  This years Fresno State team has a few playmakers and I expect them to score more points than Boise's first two opponents, but I think their QB will make too many mistakes trying to do to much.  Could be close at half-time especially with the home crowd but Boise pulls away and wins by double digits for the cover.  Boise backers to go 3-0 ats.
