Personally, I like playing Bowling Green. When this series was originally scheduled BGU was cracking the Top 25 regularly. Recent seasons have not been so favorable for the Falcons, but this BSU/BGU matchup should not be overlooked.
Bowling Green comes into today’s matchup with the nations 11th ranked passing offense. Falcon’s QB Tyler Sheehan has thrown for an impressive 928 yards with 4 touches in BGU’s first three games. For comparison, last week’s opponent Fresno St. QB Colburn has only thrown for 637 yards and 6 touches. The Bronco defense, tested heavily with a balanced attack last week, will be challenged with a more vertical and one-sided approach this week.
Look for Boise State’s defensive unit to rebound a bit this week, having seen their numbers take minor hits with last week’s defensive errors and lapses. They come into this game giving up only 284 yards a game, ranking 29th in the nation. When sorted for defense against the passing attack, Boise State moves up to 25th best defensive unit in college football.
Away games are never easy and Bronco’s fan would be smart not to overlook this matchup.
