For the past 4 years, since Boise won their first BCS bowl, the first non-BCS conference team to do so, they have been getting attention. With an undefeated record this year, and a Fiesta Bowl victory last year, they are on a roll. Their ferocious offense led by Kellen Moore, with the best quarterback rating in the country, has been sky-high in points per game, and yards per game. They are scoring 47 points per game, and only letting up 14.8, which is the 11th best in the country. Commonly, Boise State is thought to be a 1-dimension offense, but they are up to 15th in the nation in rush yards, with 224 rushing yards per game.
But back to the point of this blog, Boise State does not control their own destiny, as if they go undefeated, they don't control their future of going to the National Championship game, as Ohio State and Oregon do. They have to show to everyone that they are up for the challenge. 4 years ago Boise state was given a challenge in the Fiesta Bowl, and they took it, and knew they didn't have many chances, and they won it. Boise should have the right to go to the National Championship game, because even if they may not have the talent level as Ohio State or Oregon, they have the coaching. Who thought in 2006 that Boise would beat Oklahoma? The team took risks and that is what they will do if they go to this game. So if they go, it will be a good game, it is just a matter of if they are actually the 1st or 2nd best team in the country, which they DO have to prove.
