Tomorrow can clear up the BCS Busters sitation or add to the mess the BCS has created.
Undefeated 9th ranked Boise State travels to Reno to face Krazy Legs Kaepernick and the Nevada Wolf Pack.
What is at stake for Boise State, recapturing the WAC Conference championship and maintaining their national ranking and bid for a BCS Bowl.
What to gain, Nevada seeks to spoil things for BSU and get revenge. The 'lil' General Chris Ault lives to beat Boise State. This is is best shot to beat the Broncos, avenging a decade of dominance and last years 4 overtime loss on The Blue, losing 69 to 67 in an offensive thriller.
The Wolf Pack can ruin Boise States BCS bid, knocking them out of the top 10 and ruin an undefeated season.
What the Pack brings to the table is the nations toughest defense against the run and a some what questionable pass defense.
Ault has Boise State right where he wants them. Coming to his town into his stadium and for a change he even has fan support.
This year he has a new punishing running back named Tia, he is second on the team with 14 touchdowns following Kaepernick who has 16.
The biggest difference in this Nevada Team, they have a defense, one of the best in the country.
Boise State's defense is hungry for revenge, they believe they gave up too many points and yards against Nevada last year and have something to prove. They too have improved and are stopping both the run and the pass. Switching to the 4-2-5 D has contained the now popular spread offense. However the Wolf Pack runs the pistol offense in the most basic form.
Kaepernick takes his reads off the outside linebackers and decides whether to pass, hand the ball off or keep it and run himself. This is where he will most challenge the Broncos, he is one of the best at hiding the ball and his speed is as fast as any wide receivers.
Boise State known for its running game in the past is now a passing team led by red shirt freshman Kellen Moore. The Bronco offensive line though still net settled has protected him all season allowing few sacks this year.
Moore is the son of high school coach and plays like a veteran, his strongest skills are his ability to read defenses.
Boise still has Ian Johnson in the backfield, he has gone from running star, to an all around player.
The defenses cannot ignore his running skills or receiving skills and as often as not he is the primary blocking back for Moore.
The Broncos throw short under the coverage, Jeremy Childs has emerged as the primary target, however Moore is good at spreading the ball around.
Tomorrows meeting is the most even these two teams have matched up and should be a barn burner.
We like Boise State by 3
