Thoughts on the 2010 College Football Season:
First let’s deal with Boise State. It is hard not to admire what this team has done for CFB. Their 2007 Fiesta Bowl win over Oklahoma will go down as one of the greatest in the history of the game. The entertainment value of the hook and ladder and ole’ Statue of Liberty play is undeniable.
Beyond that, the Broncos (ranked 2nd preseason) will struggle against teams from elite conferences. Their hopes to bust the BCS this season may end early with a September 6th prime time game against Virginia Tech (ranked 8th preseason). In case you don’t remember BSU (ranked 19th preseason) was the sexy pick to upset Georgia (ranked 13th preseason) in the first game of the 2005 campaign.
Once the WAC team matched up on the field with an SEC team, the speed difference became obvious. Final score – UGA – 48; BSU – 13
Virginia Tech is rebuilding their defense, but has enough offensive weapons to challenge for the ACC title.
Prediction: VT – 30; BSU – 14.
If the Broncos get past the Hokies, they will not be challenged until the BCS title game where Alabama will make them wish they had lost to Va. Tech.
I remember being concerned about that game. UGA had an excellent pass rush and put that QB on his back. Every time he looked up our D was all over him.
ReplyDeleteWhere has that gone by the way. Dont recall us having much of a pass rush last few years.
