  Boise State looks really tough right now.

  I think it was a good call. The defender was going to pass the punter without incident, then he extended his arms and pushed the punter on purpose! #18 went on from that on purpose action to further demonstrate his utter disregard for the rules.

  Vt is running the same plays over and over.
  
  That was an amazing catch by that TE.

  These announces are idiots. Did he just say that was a little short of a first down?
  
  End of the first.

  This board might explode if that happened.

  Boise offense looks like what I expected. But their D-Line is athletic, and quick as hell. Im shocked Taylor is being chased down by them when the do lose contain, which hasnt been much. They are getting penetration on running plays as well as passing plays. They have been the most impressive unit so far for the Broncos.

  I would love to hear you guys announce the game. I think Herbie and Brent are two of the better announcers around.

  I think its worthy of a debate, but I don't think the voters can drop OSU after a 45-7 win. I am sure everyone will stand firm until the OSU-Miami game.

  Herbie is solid. Musburger needs to be shown the door. Maybe he could find a home on the BTN, he doesn't need to be doing the game of the week anymore.
• Midstate01

  

  I'd like to see Boise play a big game in a situation where they only have a week to gameplan. Instead of bowl practices or all summer. If they did that and won. They'd make a believer out of me. IMO tho, this game doesn't tell us much. VT is easily the most overrated team in all the bcs conferences every year.

  Only because preseason rankings are BS...no way in hell VT is a top 10 team, at least not by what they've shown in 1 quarter.

  I rewound on my DVR. Brent said well short of a first down. Not a little short of a first down.

  Oh I agree for sure that it won't and shouldn't change. But could you imagine the outrage if Boise was ranked 2nd in both polls tomorrow?

  1 minute into the second quarter and Va Tech finally crosses the 50.

  The other teams they are playing, either bowl opponents or VaTech or Oregon have all had the same amount of time to prepare. Maybe Petersen is just a better coach?

  Its one of the tougher things to do well. People talking in your ear all the time, having to get your promos in. Not knowing if you are gonna go to break or not until about 10 second before hand and having to take the program to break. Just talking about the game and calling it is the last thing on their minds usually.

  People said that about Oregon last year (although they were more like #15) when Boise State embarrassed them. Obviously they went on to win the Pac-10.
  
  I'm not sure why so many people just refuse to admit that Boise is legit.

  Hell, I am not even sure they are at the game. They were standing in front of a blue screen pregame

  nice catch

  I can't see this happening. Ohio State and Alabama both beat D1A teams by substantial margins and they both looked very good in doing so, so that should be plenty enough to hold them in place.

  I'm not sure they could do it week in and week out against a BCS conference, but they perform when it matters, so that's all we have to go off of and you are right. The evidence tells us they are legit

  Not saying anything about Boise State, though now that you mention it, their schedule doesn't do much as far as vaulting them to the title game even going undefeated.

  Yes! I think he is a better coach then almost every team they play!! I'd still like to see them play a game with only one week.
  
  
  This play should have never happened. VT had false started and they didn't call it.

  Nice run there. Took a shot and still got in.
