here is the question that really needs to be answered....
Could you take away Boise's Starting QB1, RB1, RB2, WR1, WR2, LT1, CB1, CB2,DE1 DE2 (Pryor, Herron, Hall, Posey, Brown (injury), Adams, Howard, Pitt Brown, Williams (injury), Solomon thomas). Then with all these losses, have the best defensive player on the field go down for the majority of the second half (Jon Simon)
and still ape fuck Toledo. Unfortunately we will never know.
Boise has the starters to play with anyone on any given day. The question has always been could they hold up over time with a tougher schedule. Their startes rarely play into the 4th quarter so injuries are less likely.
I don't think many teams could suffer the losses we have and perform much better.
