Boise St. has something to prove in this bowl game. After the heart breaking lose to Nevada the Broncos return to Nevada in hopes of a statement game against Utah. This is the first game between two ranked opponents but what Boise has that Utah doesn't is an experienced quarterback. Terrance Cain leads the #19 Utes against the #10 Broncos. Cain is filling in for starter Jordan Wynn who will undergo shoulder surgery. The Utes are no strangers to being underdogs, but this is a very different opponent. Boise comes into the game as second in points scored, and sixth in passing yards. The Broncos are not taking this game for granted as Kellen Moore continues to lead the boys from Boise in a very high powered offense. Utah continues to raise after two hard loses to TCU and Notre Dame, but finished the season with big wins over San Diego St. and BYU. Don't think the Boise defense hasn't provided help, ranking in 4th in the nation. Boise has only been held under 35 points twice this season, one coming to Nevada. This has to be one of the best non BCS bowl games on paper, but if Cain and the Utes aren't ready for the Broncos, expect this one to be done early.
Boise St. 45 - Utah 24
Bowl Update - I'm 2-2 so far in the bowl season. Missed out on a close upset today when Louisville rallied back from being down 14-0, and beating Southern Miss 31-28. Anyone think they'll get a better bowl recorded than me? Leave me a comment.
