Two Simple reasons we beat Boise State by 14

That speed that is said to be over rated is quicker on turf then grass. A break by IC and you can kiss it goodbye. We should have beat UCF, but didn't and there isn't any excuse for it. We played like a pathetic team and know, but just because that game happened and we went 6-7 last doesn't mean that were going to lay down for BSU next saturday. As said earlier(think it was you wlayton)I want Moore to be able to tell us how many tiles are in the ceiling....extra note...ask Ohio State about SEC speed on turf, they would know from the losses of UF and LSU.

Motivation is a huge thing especially with today's athletes.......BUT......when you've got size AND speed, it sure helps.

Remember.....in some cases the athletes make the coaches look brilliant, look no further than UF.

sevee,

here are the reasons we lost to UCF.

1. We didin't want to be there; UCF was excited to be there. The same with bama.
2. UCF has better athletes than BSU does--just look at the recruiting. UCF has a bigger budget than you do.

But that said, I see that you are going to have to find out the hard.

Make sure you stick around to the site come Sunday after the game.

What I don't get is how, with all this speed and size, you guys lost to UCF. I just looked at their roster and I'd say, yes, they are bigger than BSU, but not by much.

I suppose it's the same reason I read from SEC fans about why Alabama lost to Utah. Lack of interest, disappointment in the season, not a big enough challenge, etc.

What it says to me is that size and speed are OVER RATED. I remember reading a classic Sports Illustrated article about Larry Bird when he was still at Indiana State, and how a lot of NBA scouts thought he was too slow for the NBA game. Same lack of speed applies to Jerry Rice who ran a 4.5 or 4.6 forty.

Point is, attitude, talent, and coaching can overcome speed and size. You guys proved that in the UCF game.

I'm just hoping we have enough intangibles working for us that we can overcome what is an obvious difference in measurables. That's why they play the game on grass/turf instead of on paper/internet.

You sound much like many of the politicians in this country. Go to a different site or different group and the message never changes. Your team has no problems with speed as you informed us in one of your posts. So I assume we can drop that particular part of your retoric.

Let's play a game of Red Rover, Red Rover, send that incredible back right over. Moore would be smart to get the ball out of his hands and in into your running backs hands. There will be no place to hide in the Atlanta dome.

Attitude and talent, check those two out on September 3rd.

You seem to play or try to play a game of internet football. Too bad that Boise State did not get a chance to play UCF last year. BS could not handle Nevada, sure as heck could not play with UCF. Then again, according to BS fans, you can beat anyone, and I like this expression which has been used for ages . . . . On any given Saturday.

Dress 'em out, let's play some football. Georgia wins by 14.

revee, if that were the case, Harvard would beat you and us, no???


Oh, and for the record, UGA is much harder than Boise State to get into. #2 in the SREC behind Vanderbilt. We have a medical school and engineering proram, blah blah.

Point is, if you don't have the speed, the size, AND the smarts, what in the hell do you have???????

Coaching counts for something, but Chris Petersen isn't Bear Bryant yet, is he?? How did the genius lose to NEVADA?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Please, don't give me "our kicker costs us". revee, I could post up here how UGA coulda shoulda won 15 more games over the last 10 years.

Just come back Sunday and I'll give you a lollipop.

I can hear the rumble of the Central of Georgia Railway rolling over Boise.
