This is a major league revenge game for Boise State. We ruined their undefeated season last year. They are going to come out loaded for Bear. BYU better do the same.
I hear ya, but honestly, do you believe that Boise has more motivation than BYU? Yes, we disrupted what would have been probably an undefeated season for them and a NY6 bowl game, but BYU has NEVER won in Boise and has lost some very close games. There's no way Boise has any incentive advantage in this game Friday with the record being 3-7 in favor of BSU.

It will come down to turnovers and precision. BYU can't turn over the ball and they can't miss tackles. We need a game like at Navy, and they can do that if they focus.
BYU won't have a game like they did against NAVY. Navy is not BSU. I'd love to have the game put away comfortably by halftime, but that likely won't happen.

Well, I was wrong and I apologize. Different feeling game vs Navy, but nearly identical outcome.

Sue me.

I will say I watched the AFA BSU and BSU USU games and would have been pretty disappointed if BYU lost. BSU just doesn't look the same this year.

My point is that Boise is going to be ready for this game while BYU comes in 7-0 there is a chance they come in "fat and happy". If they do that our undefeated season is over just like Boise's was last year.

That's always a fear, but of all of our opponents this season, I'd be super surprised if the attitude by the Cougar team is to be "fat and happy". Zero wins on the smurf-turf has to scare the bedazzles out of them in going up there.

I was happy to see how upset Kalani was about the 2nd half of last weeks game.
I didn't see that.

I think BYU slammed the playbook shut before halftime. Wilson's TD to Rex came on BYU's third time in a row running the exact same play.

Yes, BYU could've/should've done more in the 2nd half, but the coaches hamstrung them a bit by shrinking the playbook dramatically.

I 100% agree with you on the coach's shutting down the play book. But on byutv after the game they were interviewing Kalani and he was mad. He apologized to the fans for how bad the team played. He said he didn't care if it was backups playing they are all one play away from being starters and they needed to clean it up and play better and stop missing assignments. It was great watching it, it was exactly what everyone was thinking and he came out and said it.

BSU's offense is legitimate. Even if the starting QB is still out the back up, Sears, is a former QB at USC and throws a pretty ball; there is no real drop off in talent in my estimation. The starting RB and their lead receiver are legitimate too and the OLine is solid as usual. I think our offense is quite good too, of course, but I think BSU would have run up similar scores against the teams BYU has played this year. BSU plastered USU (who look quite bad this year) and rolled AF. I think their defense is down some this year (they had to totally rebuild their DLine and lost their star safety to transfer) and it might come down to which of the two D's rises to the occasion more often. A plus for me is BYU will not be playing at a packed stadium with all the emotion and sound that stadium produces and usually makes it harder for the visiting team....I think this could be the year we beat the Broncos on their home field. We have been so close so many times.....

I was happy to see how upset Kalani was about the 2nd half of last weeks game. This to me shows the desire and motivation to win every quarter and half despite the large lead with the win never in doubt. I hope it will translate into a very prepared focus BYU team this week!
The college football world wants BYU to lose this game they want to brush BYU aside and not have to factor them into a NY6 bowl. (Sorry the playoffs will never happen)
