BSU Kobra Kai'd their way to victory last year by intentionally trying to knock out UO's QB's. Really hoping for a complete ass whoopin' this year.

CFN's Fearless Prediction: Oregon by 3.

Scout.com: 2009 Pac 10 Fearless Predictions

Game of the Week

Oregon (0-0) at Boise State (0-0) , Thursday, Sept. 3, 10:15 pm ET, ESPN

Why To Watch: There are only a handful of games all year that?ll decide whether a so-called mid-major earns a BCS bowl bid for a third straight season. This one in Idaho gets top billing. In one of the four match ups between ranked teams on the opening weekend, Boise State hosts Oregon in a primetime, national TV event that should wind up being as entertaining as advertised. If the Broncos can hold serve here, they?ll be favored to win out and might even generate some Utah-esque chatter to play for a national championship. In an age when just winning the WAC is no longer enough, the direction of their season hinges on this one game. Oregon arrives flush with headlines of its own. One of the hottest teams down the stretch in 2008, it begins 2009 as one of the primary threats to USC?s Pac-10 throne. The Ducks have a budding rock star at quarterback in Jeremiah Masoli and new head coach Chip Kelly, who takes over for the retired Mike Bellotti. This is an unmistakable launching pad game for whichever team survives.
Why Oregon Might Win: Did you watch last year?s Poinsettia Bowl, in which TCU pummeled Boise State with a power running game? The Ducks have throughout August. They plan to unleash their prolific ground game on a Bronco D that lacks size and is looking to replace all but one starter on the front seven. Oregon has rebuilding to do up front as well, but that won?t prevent Masoli and backs LeGarrette Blount and LaMichael James from getting outside the tackles and into the secondary. While Boise State has a knack for getting it done on defense, it?s not facing your typical WAC opponent. The Ducks? quick-strike, high-scoring offense will spread the field, allowing their superior athletes to make plays.
Why Boise State Might Win: Although the Broncos won?t frighten teams with their next-level speed, they are fundamentally sound and rarely make mistakes under head coach Chris Petersen. It all begins with the precision passing of Kellen Moore, a sophomore who plays with the poise and leadership of a senior. His efficient reads and play-action passes to Austin Pettis and Titus Young will test an Oregon secondary that?s vulnerable, especially in the red zone. Boise State can also pound the ball, using the running of Jeremy Avery and D.J. Harper, and the blocking of FB Richie Brockel to dent an already soft interior of the Duck line. Don?t underestimate the little things, like special teams and the crowd, which clearly tilt in the Broncos? favor.
Players To Watch: Whether he?s a covering a receiver or returning a punt, Boise State senior Kyle Wilson is going to do something to electrify the locals. History says so. One of the best athletes in this game and a serious pro prospect, he?s one of the nation?s most dangerous return men and bolsters an air-tight Bronco secondary. If he and his mates can shut down passing lanes, stopping the Oregon offense gets a bit easier.
What Will Happen: On a neutral field in December, Oregon probably takes this game without much of a problem. On the blue turf in the opener, however, the Broncos are going to be very tough to beat and will play at a whole other level. Sure, things are a very different on both sides, but don?t forget that Boise State dominated this game last September...in Eugene. In a back-and-forth affair that?ll have no shortage of offensive fireworks, the Oregon running game will do just enough to control the game and win a thriller.
CFN Prediction: Oregon 33 ... Boise State 30 Line: Boise State -5

Well, I hope Oregon wins by 45 and gives them a few cheap shots to go along with the embarrassment on national television.

Tired of hearing about BSU too. And I hate that field. It's the ugliest thing I've ever seen, and seems like a gimmick. I hate that shit.

Colin Cowherd just called it:

Boise State wins 59-54 in double OT.

I'm pretty sure it's impossible to win by 5 in OT, but good try dude.

After the first team with the ball kicks a FG, their opponent has a few penalties, and then fumbles the ball backwards for a safety. :wink2:

You could get a TD, go for the 2-point conversion, and then they could go for a field goal :lol: .
So... possible!

So basically it all hinges on either the worst play call in the history of football or a fumble that rolls backwards for around 85 yards?l

God, I can only hope I live long enough to see M*ch*g*n pull off one of those plays in my lifetime.

Or the defender on the team that kicked a FG gets what should be a pick-6, but spikes the ball before crossing the goal line (we are at '2' in the countdown :wink2:); and somebody chasing after him recovers the ball in the end zone, where he's tackled for a safety.

I'll tell you what: If anybody ever wins an OT game by five points, I'll give Cowherd props. Even if he didn't pick the correct winner. Even if he didn't get the final score right. Even if it's not this game. Even if it happens 15 years from now.
