Can't say I didn't see this one coming though. Bosie just too talented. Now what I didn't see coming was 3 long touchdown runs by Fresno's Matthews that kept it closer than it should have been for too long.
IF Boise can run the table, I can't really say they don't deserve it...at least not right now. We have to see how good or bad Oregon ends up being, but a team that was supposed to maybe contend for a Pac-10 title got physically beaten down by the Blue Ruggers to start the season, they shut out the Miami Redhawks (which isn't that tough considering they haven't actually scored a point yet this season, but still),and this Fresno team very nearly beat Wisconsin and possibly should have had the refs called the helmet to helmet hit in overtime....a play that resulted in an interception.
It's tough to see Boise NOT running the table at this point. Wednesday October 14th @ Tulsa on ESPN will be a tough game to get by. If they can get by that, they have a road test @ Hawaii on the 25th which shouldn't be a huge problem, four easy wins vs. San Jose State, LA Tech, Idaho, and Utah state, and then the only real tough test remaining: a November 27th tilt against Nevada. New Mexico State COULD be a tough finish but Boise won't let a team like that trip them up at the end of a season. I like Bosie's chances to stay undefeated.
If Bosie can run the table, thats not a bad resume. I still don't see them as a national title contender with a schedule like that, but enough to deserve a BCS bid.
Bottom line: I hate to say it, but Boise, at least on offense, is for real. Kellen Moore is one heck of a QB. He is smart, has great pocket presence, and can make nearly all the throws and with him at the helm, Boise is for real.
