Re: Covid impact on USU vs BSU
The defense was broken after LSU last season. I expect Holani to run, but I expect the defense to allow him less than 11.1 ypc to him (he averaged 5.3 for the season in 192 attempts). The other factor you are dismissing was the offenses first half drives average time of possession was less than 90 seconds. Boise scored 42 points with an average possession time of 163 seconds.Yossarian wrote: ↑October 23rd, 2020, 12:00 pmBoise only passed for 178 yards last year. It wasn't the pass the killed us - it was the run (297 yards rushing as a team). Sophomore George Holani ran for 187 yards himself - on just 16 carries. He was getting big chunks of yardage nearly every time he touched the ball. Is he still with them this year? They averaged 6.5 ypc as a team. Air Force was even more dominant - they ran for 448 yards against us last year. I just don't see that our run defense is going to be dramatically better this year over last year. I think good teams are going to continue to run over the Aggies.
Last season Portland State and New Mexico played better against Boise than USU. I don’t expect USU to be the easiest game on the schedule for Boise again this season.

Re: Covid impact on USU vs BSU
True that we don't fully know what to expect from our team, but Boise State returns Holani who killed us last year. Bachmeier is back with receivers Shakir and Thomas. Their Oline will be inexperienced, but can our defense take advantage of that? I'll have to see it to believe we can slow them down. Definitely hope you are right though.

Re: Covid impact on USU vs BSU
USU averaged 90 seconds per possession with an NFL QB, Gerald Bright, and 2 sure-handed receivers in Mariner and Repp. I don't know that Shelley and DHC put us over the hump, offensively. McGriff is intriguing but we really don't know what we have there. The O-line has a few guys from last year (that got steamrolled) and some young, inexperienced guys. The D-line is thin. Our linebackers were slow last year - has that improved?Full wrote: ↑October 23rd, 2020, 12:39 pmThe defense was broken after LSU last season.

I don't know. I think that this has the makings for another, typical game in Boise - the Aggies on the wrong end of a butt-kicking.

Re: Covid impact on USU vs BSU
Unfortunately I would agree. I just don't trust our defense to stop them and our offense has question marks and things that likely won't be figured out in game 1. Would love to be wrong though.Yossarian wrote: ↑October 23rd, 2020, 12:57 pmUSU averaged 90 seconds per possession with an NFL QB, Gerald Bright, and 2 sure-handed receivers in Mariner and Repp. I don't know that Shelley and DHC put us over the hump, offensively.

Re: Covid impact on USU vs BSU
My fear is that we will take a short handed team (due to COVID) to Boise and get man handled and then Boise finally gets the bug outbreak and ends up short handed when they host BYU ... and gets beat. Then we never hear the end of it from the Y’ners down south.

Re: Covid impact on USU vs BSU
I am just excited for football. Hope the boys go out and just play with a chip on their shoulder with nothing to lose. Nobody's giving them a chance anyways so go out and just do the best you can. I just want to see some fight in this team that we didn't see in the big losses last year.

Re: Covid impact on USU vs BSU
Obviously Boise is favored big but they do have inexperience on the O-line and USU has the advantage of surprise on both sides of the ball. In any event, we get to watch Aggie football even if its probably another smurf turf butt kicking. I do think all of the uncertainty of this year will provide some surprises this weekend. Would be nice to see the Aggies on the winning side of one of those surprises for once.

Re: Covid impact on USU vs BSU
Of course the travel party traveling with the team for sure didn't test positive for covid-19. That does not mean we did not have several positive cases from other players that are not traveling with the team.AgMac wrote: ↑October 23rd, 2020, 7:45 pmI'm surprised. rAggie has never led us astray.RabidAggie wrote: ↑October 23rd, 2020, 4:37 pmI spoke to someone associated with the program last night, and he told me no one in the travel party had tested positive.

That would definitely be the best-case and I am hoping that is the case. It's been a long time coming considering we were going to play then they canceled and now we're on the eve of playing again just super excited about it.

Re: Covid impact on USU vs BSU
Boise State fans like our stadium, as the backdrop is nice. And one thing that would back up them NOT JUST liking it cause they always beat us(except 2015) is they would also always beat the Vandals, and they hated their stadium.GeoAg wrote: ↑October 23rd, 2020, 9:36 amThere are some things I would trade with Boise if we could...football success, fan devotion, a major city all to ourselves, but despite all of their success, I would trade for neither of the two main athletic facilities. The football stadium in particular is an eyesore and puzzling considering their level of success. It is the second worst stadium in which I have ever watched a game (the first is Qualcomm). The best seat for the game is literally in the upper deck, and of course the restrooms, as mentioned above, are a mess and a little too intimate for my preference. And I didn't even get to that turf.AggiesForever wrote: ↑October 23rd, 2020, 7:58 amI don't even watch the game when they go to Boise anymore. If we win, I can always watch it on my DVR. But nobody wins in that terrible excuse of a stadium, that has troughs for urinals for cryin out loud. If we win, it will be fun to watch it on DVR.
Thanks. I feel better. It doesn't help that they kick up butts up there every other year either
The ironic thing is that while some of us hate their stadium(and for reasons other than us always losing there), the one year they had a little reason to hate our stadium(cause they lost) was the year we had the PA announcer they were grateful they don't have.

Re: Covid impact on USU vs BSU
Low scoring game involving our defense? I seriously doubt that. I don’t see any way Boise scores less than 40.Full wrote:That doesn’t include the 15-20 mph winds forecasted. I think both teams are set up this year to run first. Of course if they average 6.5 yards a carry again, the game could get out of hand. Last year there was 156 snaps 912 yards of offense. This game should be a low scoring ground game, with half the offensive numbers.
