After giving up 330 yards rushing to UNM on Saturday, Boise State must be concerned about their run D. They need to get that fixed at least by the time they finish the season at Nevada.

Yes, you are correct. A big part of the problem seems to be assignments. They seem to do really well in one on one battles, but they really struggle against option teams. They never seem to stick to their assignments. It seemed as though the entire second half they never knew who had the pitch man.sigpic

I wanted to go to the game, but my kids said they were coming over. They didn't show up until 8PM. Oh, well.
The Lobos lost three fumbles on rushing attempts in the first half. Unlike Nevada, they don't have a passing game to balance the rushing attack.
Looks like Bob Davie is doing a good job of turning around the train wreck Krebs and Locksley created.

UNM does not look like the same team they were last year. They have a really good option QB to go along with a good speed back. They seem to rotate the option QB out when they want to pass however. I agree, it looks like they might be going in the right direction finally.
Boise is definitely not a top ten team like they were last year. They have always struggled against option teams in the second halves of games, especially if the offense isn't doing well with TOP.Last edited by Al Wilson 4 Mayor; 10-02-2012, 01:27 PM.sigpic

Utah, BYU, TCU.
Add Boise and Fresno.

I meant to say in the post above that Boise did well in the first half against the run, but I accidentally stated the second half. I've since edited it since when you likely read it.Last edited by Al Wilson 4 Mayor; 10-02-2012, 01:30 PM.sigpic

SJSU will be coming off a bye week while Utah State is at BYU this Saturday.
I was referring to "Dick Tomey" above. I believe the name I referred to earlier was actually a comedian.

Both SJSU and Utah State are playing great football right now. It's cool how the MWC keeps robbing the WAC of their best teams to replace those who have left, but I don't know how much longer it can go on.
