Official PSU - Boise St. Quarterfinal CFB Playoff Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
Very frustrated. Got home an hour ago looking to see something, I gotta sleep, pissed there’s no info. Cheers men.
The play calling was horrendous, the showboating, cheap shots, and just plain stupidity was exasperating (and embarrassing). And minus a few good early throws, Allar was lacking.
But the team was physical and should have won easily if not for the arrogance and poor offensive approach by AK and CJF.
Allen was underutilized but played a very strong game.
Secondary was fabulous minus one blown coverage. Tackling was very good…very, very good.
Boise was a complete fraud (as was SMU)…about as good as Illinois or Minnesota.
But eventually this kind of stupidity, arrogance, and poor sportsmanship will catch up with the Nits.
We have a fabulous draw (how can you not win your conference, not win you CCG and still get a pathetically easy draw - the football gods are shining on us this year!) and have decent chance to get to final game. But I suspect no Carter will spell big trouble eventually. And we will not be able to push around every team left less ASU.
I think he frequently wears a sleeve on one arm anyway. I’m not sure that is new.
Absolutely. Not pleased to see how PSU now behaves…but getting used to it (Franklin says the right things but the team is very undisciplined and this manifests itself at the worst times).
it was great to see the team play physically but I think they quickly figured out that Boise was overmatched in trenches.
Shame they insist on being cute. Run Allen until they stop him (they never did, but we insisted on these gimmick plays that don’t work).
Game could have been over early and final like ~ 42-7. But why make things easy, let’s run Drew on a few bootlegs/QB draws and see if he can join Carter in the tent!
On to Miami!
As I wait for my 4 am airport shuttle....
There are large open areas in the 200 level they allow for gathering including large bar and food court areas.
Plenty of food options also Lots of TVs in lounge areas.
The walk ways are wide and. open so people can get around and plenty of restrooms so you don't all get bottled up due to lack of bathrooms
Site lines for the game is nice and seats are slightly wider and more comfortable than similar venues.
Excellent WiFi.
These "bums" were very close to actually beating the #1 team in the country at Oregon. While PSU certainly didn't play the perfect game, they left little doubt about which team was going to advance.
I think many here and the "experts" in the media under sold Boise.
Play calling at times was indeed a head scratcher. I would love to know if those were the original play calls or if Allar checked into them.
It was a fortuitous draw. However, I'm going th assert that Texas has an equally attractive draw. Let's see if they take care of business today.
Finally, I'm grateful for all 13 wins. However, Carter, DDS and Reed could be out. If so, yikes!
I don’t think this Boise team would hang with
Oregon now. That September Oregon team is not the same team PSU faced a month ago.
PSU could have run 13 and 10 for 200 yards each if they would have recognized they were beating Boise on the LOS. It was just plain stupid to not run the ball until Boise stopped it. They never did.
So, the PSU seasoned, mature OL and DL are the backbone to this team. They are older, experienced players that PSU has developed over the course of several years. That still seems to be the main ingredient to success. At least at this point. My hats off to them, as well as the OL and DL coaches. Well done gentlemen. Well done.
I believe he had the block that sealed the DT on Singleton's run.
I think you need to mix it up to keep the D honest, but not with 3rd and short gimmicks when #13 was steam rolling and almost a guaranteed 1st down.
Something I noticed last night for the purists. I really enjoyed hearing the Blue Band in the background without the piped in music. I felt like I was watching a game back in the 80’s or 90’s from that respect. I hadn’t really noticed it all that much before last night. Hearing “Fight On State” and some of the older reliables that they play was refreshing.
I can imagine. My first roommate in Beam Hall was president of the Blue Band and boy howdy was he proud of it. Rightfully so.
Not only that. You owe it to the OLine who have been doing the heavy lifting, to let them do their job. OLine guys love that scenario. Bulldoze someone.
eh I don't know, any given game day and all, Oregon squeaked by Wisconsin not too long ago
KT tape an Toradol and they will be out there. They aren't missing the next game.

the win must have pained you
Shelton had two key blocks on that play. Rucci has been an invaluable addition to this team.
To the critics:
PSU never trailed in the game.
Final score 31-14
They beat the spread.
D handled one of the best backs in the county.
O gave us lots of big exciting plays.
Special teams not too shabby.
Enjoy!
Be Happy!

Read my post Pookie. Every resident in the peanut gallery was screaming run the damn ball. I merely said I wonder if some plays got checked at the LOS. 13 wins this year and 34 in 3...the coaches don't need anyone's protection. Especially from some of the message board experts like you.
Boise was far better than you give them credit, but that’s not surprising….if it weren’t for backhanded compliments, you’d have no compliments at all.
We need to be sensitive to the intense pain and suffering of the BWICAC during this 13 win season. Lots of swallowing as well as muscle fatigue from moving goal posts. They are a resilient group, however, and will be motivated to step in and remind us that we deserve better soon.
Funny how no one has mentioned the strides he's made. Going from a guy that rarely saw the field to an integral part of this OL. Kudos to him and the staff that never gave up on him....even though he committed elsewhere.
Bite your lip.
"we always deserve better"- BWICAC. REMEMBER...it isn't a big game if PSU wins and James Franklin is the coach.
PSU: Worst first team into the playoff quarterfinals in the nation, and beyond.
Kind of a spur of the moment decision among 6 of my PSU buds that all somehow came together at the last minute. So much fun, but the Boise State fans were definitely louder.
