he is very smooth, throws a catchable ball, has enough arm strength for the vertical passing game, commands his huddle, and he did an excellent job reading the changing fronts TCU was throwing at him

USC has absolutely dominated the Rose Bowl lately. I'm sure next year they'll be back in it owning the Big10 again.

Oregon will be the favorite. I don't SC winning it next year, they are losing a lot.

Props to Boise!!

NO excuses TCU was outcoached by the Boise DC.

I truly belive that BSU has entered many games this season with little D planning and the attitude that the opponent would need to try to outscore them. They game planned this game totally different and prepared to stop TCU's 5th ranked offense. This was evident by the position changes and new and different defensive looks that they brought out in the game. TCU and Andy Dalton the QB failed to adjust. This not only resulted in too few points on the board but in the defensive TD by BSU making the game 17-10. The TCU running game was shut down by shifted blockig assignments that left the O line of TCU, although larger and stronger, simply inadequate.

KUDOS BSU


Key problems certainly included the lack of communication from the press box in the 1s qtr resutling in the TCU OC having to be on the field throughout the first half without a birds eye view of the new defenses he was facing. It is unclear due to shitty FOX coverage if BSU was also limited by their technology in the first half as they should have been.







However, I must agree wih poor/marginal officiating here:

Holding was not really called on EITHER team

The DPI call that was clearly OPI was HORRIBLE and resulted in major field position advantage.

The call of DPI against Boise late in the game was BS

The lack of call for DPI on BSU when the reciever was hit before ball arrives twice was bad.

The punt return with 31 sec left in the first by BSU was called a fair catch, but it bounced and the play was whistled dead prior to the runner being touched or going out of bounds but no flag.

BSU repeatedly ripped at facemasks and several of the calls were missed. One on Dalton just after he released the ball was even commneted on by the "announcers" with the ref 4 yrds away looking right at him but no flag. TCU right tackle held on this play like a mofo to though.

BSU was blocking in the back on nearly every k/o or punt and the first one they got called on was the third guy on that play with a block in the back.

SFP, would it be so big a stretch to just come aboard and say, "I was wrong"?

I picked TCU to win this game, but I certainly did not go all out on TCU because like you, I might have watched them play twice all season (but I am certain you saw every game they played inside of your film room).

plus the refs were particularly bad

bullshite SFP EXCUSE!!!

also i don't think BSU was called for ONE holding penalty, which is a joke

---

OK!!! BUT they could call holding on EVERY PLAY JAKE!!!!!

quote:

further, look no further than BSU wearing down in the shitty arse WAC to make an assumption over how badly they'd wear down in a real conference. even a soft conference like the big10

---

You have been BEATEN!! FACE IT LIKE A MAN!!! WHAT A frickING LOSER YOU ARE!!!

and the fact that i don't know if they have a BCS OOC win outside of a team from Oregon in years

---

Make the same arguement against UF. they never travel out of florida for an OOC.

The Oregon win is still impressive. Boise is a solid team. Well-coached and they get players from all over...and like it or not, I haven't heard of many, if any, Boise players getting suspended and/or kicked off for stupid things. Hawkins and now CP seems to recruit great human beings who just happen to play some great football.
