I'm pretty much with you, but thought one day would suffice where I actually look into Boise's potential for winning. Regarding #4, that was just a joke. Kind of. It was clearly a factor, though, just not to the level everyone claims. Thanks for your thoughts.

Kellen Moore is only as good as his receivers and line. Jeremy Childs and Vinny Perretta, who combined for 193 of Moore's 386 passing yards (exactly 50%) at Autzen, are gone. They net rushed for 38 yards that game, and that was WITH Ian Johnson. The offensive line is three juniors, a sophmore and a redshirt freshman, three of whom have significant time as starters, and one that didn't play much at all (and missed the Oregon game). Moore was good last year. He will not be so good this year. 2. Unless they place a giant metallic "44" in the backfield, the number means nothing. Not only for the reasons you previously stated, but because BSU simply doesn't have the "gravitas" that a BCS team (and thus it's home record) might otherwise impart. 3. True enough. 4. Last I checked, Masoli didn't give up 37 points in last year's game. Blaming the loss on him being knocked out is absurd. 1. Kellen Moore is only as good as his receivers and line.
