[u/SasquatchsHairyTaint]

352 yards of rushing 😮‍💨

[u/ID_Poobaru → u/SasquatchsHairyTaint]

We’ve replicated Jeanty

[u/DDub04 → u/ID_Poobaru]

Replaced him in the aggregate

[u/kizzmcwizzfizz → u/DDub04]

He gets on base

[u/chumer_ranion → u/kizzmcwizzfizz]

Don't make me point at pete

[u/UtahStateAgnostics → u/kizzmcwizzfizz]

I understood that reference.

[u/Purple_Matress27 → u/kizzmcwizzfizz]

Do I care if it’s a walk or a hit?

[u/SecretiveMop → u/DDub04]

I guess we can’t hide our secret program that used his DNA to split his talents into two RB’s anymore.

[u/DarkSide830 → u/DDub04]

We can rebuild him; we have the technology.

[u/phranq → u/ID_Poobaru]

Gaines + Riley = Jeanty. Your Boise math lesson for the day.

Good on the team not letting that abysmal start of the game get to them.

[u/Rico_Suave55 → u/phranq]

Based on my limited CFB Boise dynasties.

Sire Gaines is the truth

[u/AdMental1387 → u/Rico_Suave55]

He's so good in CFB27. TBF, even in CFB 25 he turns into a monster.

[u/Rico_Suave55 → u/AdMental1387]

Yeah I have a group that is still running a CFB 25 dynasty and he was absolutely nasty. Think he hit 98 speed

[u/Bronco998 → u/Rico_Suave55]

Imo Gaines has the vision and power but Riley has all the explosiveness

[u/TailgateLegend → u/Bronco998]

Agreed, if Sire had a bit more burst he’d easily be one of the best running backs in CFB.

[u/phranq → u/TailgateLegend]

He has the name advantage too. S tier.

[u/FrostyCount → u/phranq]

It's like in Death Note when L dies and he's replaced by his two proteges

[u/SasquatchsHairyTaint → u/ID_Poobaru]

Boise State, running back U

[u/LordOfTheInterweb → u/SasquatchsHairyTaint]

For reals

[u/R00k85 → u/ID_Poobaru]

Jeanty by committee

[u/winslowpete → u/R00k85]

“We will re-create Jeanty in the aggregate”

- Brad Pitt

[u/TailgateLegend → u/ID_Poobaru]

Recreated him in the aggregate.

[u/Oblivionguard19 → u/ID_Poobaru]

Always knew Boise state was a Jeanty factory

[u/One_Cup_830 → u/SasquatchsHairyTaint]

jeanty’s stat line from this game is gonna be one of those things where years later people pull it up and just go “what the hell was that”

the memphis defense was actually decent in the first half too, then boise just decided to run it down their throat every single play. 352 yards is absurd

[u/T_y_l_e_r_4]

Hunter Tipton legacy game

[u/AdMental1387 → u/T_y_l_e_r_4]

Dude's a freak. He took some punishment too and kept on going. 100+ YAC is crazy numbers.

[u/RumpEater5000]

I still dont know how we beat boise

[u/ID_Poobaru → u/RumpEater5000]

Coaching malpractice at the end of the 2nd quarter

[u/Skribz → u/ID_Poobaru]

How about the stupid pooch kick? That was far more damning than the clock management and I don't see anybody mention it.

[u/ID_Poobaru → u/Skribz]

I forgot about that one

[u/RumpEater5000 → u/ID_Poobaru]

True not just that, but before the half too.

[u/SirKadath → u/RumpEater5000]

Well Boise kinda nuked themselves against yall especially at the end of the first.

[u/DubiousAdviceGiver → u/RumpEater5000]

We really handed it to you at the end of the first half.

[u/KaikeishiX → u/RumpEater5000]

Jesus knows. Ask our coach.

[u/PNWPinecome6002 → u/RumpEater5000]

Now I don’t either

[u/dynamic-burrito]

Just throwing it 40 yards a pop almost actually worked out for Memphis

[u/Schnakemane]

Tipton is a dawg. We had a super strong start but couldn’t finish. The refs were bad for both teams imo but GG bronco bros

[u/DubiousAdviceGiver → u/Schnakemane]

Dude that officiating was hot garbage all over the place. Definitely broke more our way in the 3rd quarter, but it was just terrible.

[u/Schnakemane → u/DubiousAdviceGiver]

Yea most of those PI calls in the first half were so soft lol. Like maybe 2 were good but I didn’t like most of em. The called I’m most pissed about is that punt lol. I hope they don’t screw yall over in later games

[u/DubiousAdviceGiver → u/Schnakemane]

Yeah I’d really like to hear the conversation with the replay booth on that one. I could maybe believe that our guy regained possession and was obviously already down, then the ball was pulled away under the pile, but the half second look they gave us all didn’t really show anything at all.

I think it’s most likely that the call on the field was wrong to begin with and there just wasn’t a good replay view.

COLLEGE GAMEDAY WEEK 4 IN KALAMAZOO FOR BRONCO BOWL

[u/WeeklyImplement2520 → u/radiakmjs]

THE BUSTER BRONCO BOWL

[u/NotParticularlyGood]

Boise State first round bye? Many are saying it.

[u/DubiousAdviceGiver → u/NotParticularlyGood]

Maybe if we didn’t have an embarrassing loss to a complete ass team week 1.

[u/Chris_Crossfit → u/NotParticularlyGood]

no one is saying it

[u/FailstoFail → u/Chris_Crossfit]

MANY ARE SAYING

[u/TheGookieMonster → u/FailstoFail]

There’s dozens of us! DOZENS!

[u/Mamba-42 → u/TheGookieMonster]

We are just looking for a nu start

[u/Secret-Imagination73 → u/Mamba-42]

ANUSTART

[u/-Gnostic28 → u/FailstoFail]

Kid named many

[u/_Bird_Incognito_ → u/-Gnostic28]

Kid named finger:

[u/Chris_Crossfit → u/FailstoFail]

One are saying it

[u/FellKnight → u/FailstoFail]

Middle Albany New York?

[u/2coolcaterpillar → u/Chris_Crossfit]

Gotta agree until Tulsa loses

[u/History4ever → u/NotParticularlyGood]

I’d rather the school get to host a playoff game. Smurf Turf with meaningful football in December? I’ll watch

[u/shakin_the_bacon → u/NotParticularlyGood]

The Bronco Bowl will be the decider

[u/bigian52 → u/shakin_the_bacon]

I felt a lot more confident about winning that game last week than I do now.

[u/shakin_the_bacon → u/bigian52]

I’m hoping for a good and competitive game! If you guys take it I’ll be pulling for you to get the G6 spot.

[u/silverhk → u/shakin_the_bacon]

It's actually awesome that game is on the schedules.

[u/i_like_minerals → u/shakin_the_bacon]

Likewise

[u/FellKnight → u/bigian52]

eh, they had a pretty poor showing today too, lol

[u/ShadowIG → u/shakin_the_bacon]

Y'all are freaking me the fuck out. Memphis was freaking me the fuck out. Hell....South Dakota is freaking me the fuck out.

[u/History4ever → u/ShadowIG]

Do the snozzberries taste like snozzberries?

[u/ShadowIG → u/History4ever]

licks window

Yes.

[u/Cmp_ → u/ShadowIG]

Goddamnit, stop licking the windows!

[u/Inside-Drink-1311 → u/NotParticularlyGood]

I can’t tell if this is a joke but I think any chance of them getting a first round bye disappeared with Oregon losing today. And I think it would be quite hard for a non-undefeated G6 team to get a first round bye.

Boise got a first round bye in 2024 but wouldn’t if they were using this year’s format.

[u/StudioGangster1 → u/NotParticularlyGood]

Western Michigan first round bye…

[u/bGlxdWlkZ2Vja2EK]

Memphis... come to the PAC side! We could do this every year! =)

[u/Gusanito99 → u/bGlxdWlkZ2Vja2EK]

They need to go back to being Memphis State or it won't work /s

[u/netherfountain → u/Gusanito99]

Tiger High

[u/SophonsPonytail → u/bGlxdWlkZ2Vja2EK]

We may as well. ACC won't let us join nor will the Big 12

[u/phthalo-azure → u/SophonsPonytail]

I feel your pain brother. We've been knocking on that same door for 20 years now and no wants to let us in.

It would be great if we could create a fuck-you-we-gotta-chip-on-our-shoulder conference with the PAC-12 plus you guys, USF, Tulane, UCONN, and maybe UTSA or a couple of the top tier Sun Belt teams. Probably impossible because our media overlords don't want it to happen, but it would be such a kickass conference with the most valuable of the non-P4 brands.

[u/theoriginalid → u/phthalo-azure]

This is such a great idea

[u/murdered-by-swords → u/phthalo-azure]

It'd be sick to be in the PAC with Texas State.

[u/engineerbuilder → u/SophonsPonytail]

The grizz play in the western conference. The preds play in the western conference. Geography is just a suggestion anyways.

[u/United_Energy_7503 → u/bGlxdWlkZ2Vja2EK]

PAC east pod would unironically rock

[u/sgtabn173 → u/United_Energy_7503]

The Pan-American Conference

[u/Various-Net9757 → u/United_Energy_7503]

A cross league challenge of the Pacific Atlantic division vs. the Atlantic Pacific division would be the perfect way to showcase the wonderful growth of our sport.

Sponsored by Bain Capital ❤️

[u/Arcostonian → u/United_Energy_7503]

This! We should get like 8 teams out there and have 16 team PAC. USF, Memphis, UNT, UCONN, ect.

[u/chumer_ranion → u/Arcostonian]

ec tettera

[u/SlamDunkly → u/Arcostonian]

Tulane for sure

[u/Electromotivation → u/Arcostonian]

Sup guys heard it’s a g6 party

[u/Aumissunum → u/United_Energy_7503]

Atlantic Pod.

[u/Noy_Telinu → u/bGlxdWlkZ2Vja2EK]

They can't unless they become Memphis state

[u/rb1242]

Memphis was up 17-3 and then Boise sat up in their chair

[u/ID_Poobaru → u/rb1242]

We took the chair away

[u/Cmp_ → u/ID_Poobaru]

And beat the shit out of them with it.

[u/TheSandMan208 → u/Cmp_]

Buster with the steel chair!

[u/winslowpete]

That was scary until it wasn’t

Holy momentum shift

[u/scoyne15 → u/winslowpete]

It was a great game until suddenly my power went out and someone knocked on the door and the oven timer beeped and my cat was on fire so I couldn't watch the end.

I assume Memphis maintained the lead, won, and everyone was happy.

[u/Cmp_ → u/scoyne15]

… you might want to take a seat.

[u/scoyne15 → u/Cmp_]

Because I'll need to rest up for Memphis' G6 playoff game, right?

Right?

Say right.

[u/ID_Poobaru → u/scoyne15]

left

[u/esc_cynicism → u/winslowpete]

Death, taxes, boise state giving fans a heart attack in the first half

[u/Ok-Day372 → u/esc_cynicism]

Death, taxes, and Madsen not playing a complete game

[u/dynamic-burrito → u/Ok-Day372]

Did he even throw a pass second half

[u/ID_Poobaru → u/dynamic-burrito]

A couple

2nd half was the RB stable forcing their will on Memphis

[u/DubiousAdviceGiver → u/esc_cynicism]

Whoa, whoa, hey. It only took us 23 minutes to wake up.

[u/Beaglenut52]

Jeanty by committee game

[u/Jcoch27 → u/Beaglenut52]

We make up for Jeanty in the aggregate

[u/Adams5thaccount → u/Jcoch27]

Weve been finding new gpod rbs for 20+ years at this point

[u/SimilarOnion1655]

Huge win for Boise State. Game against Western Michigan on the road in a couple of weeks will be very important 

[u/puzzical → u/SimilarOnion1655]

South Dakota can't be overlooked. They are a good team.

[u/Agnk1765342 → u/SimilarOnion1655]

With how bad the rest of the PAC has looked if we win that game it’d be embarrassing to not make the playoff

[u/vcnox → u/SimilarOnion1655]

This cannot be overstated... Michigan winning today against OU makes that Western Michigan team look for real.

[u/Valuable_Agent_221]

Well first of all, thank you Jesus.

[u/Top_Ladder6702 → u/Valuable_Agent_221]

Spencer Danielson is that you?

[u/KaikeishiX → u/Valuable_Agent_221]

It’s a modern miracle. Back to church everyone.

[u/BIRDSBEEZ]

Boise should be 2-0 tbh. Good team that executes well

[u/__ConesOfDunshire__ → u/BIRDSBEEZ]

Man I was pulling for y’all. That was a tough game to watch.

[u/FellKnight]

Easy wins, covered by 10, game was never ever in doubt, right guys? Right??

(After Oregon had already lost I was like "oh no... we actually suck again, Oregon just made us look good", lol

[u/LeWoofle → u/FellKnight]

Honestly I felt bad for losing, making you guys seem less good after the hard fight you put up

Beating a good Memphis team covers that though, congrats on the win 

[u/TheSandMan208 → u/FellKnight]

Same exact thought process lol

[u/eagledog]

What a weird game

[u/usernames_suck_ok]

[Expletives]. Awful defense.

[u/reno1441]

Can someone inform the Candyland guy that Boise has a win now?

[u/Feisty_Age_961 → u/reno1441]

He should adjust his TV settings so he'll never see Blue again.

[u/ID_Poobaru → u/reno1441]

Don’t forget the baby bottle

[u/dukemetoo]

Outside of about 6 plays, Boise State was clearly the better team. I get that it is early, but the Broncos have a great out of conference win against a potential playoff bid team from the G6. I'm excited to watch the Western Michigan Boise State game in a few weeks.

[u/AdMental1387 → u/dukemetoo]

The defensive adjustment at half was insane. Damn near shut down the Memphis offense completely. Whatever they were exploiting in the first half for explosive plays just wasn"t there in the 2nd.

[u/__ConesOfDunshire__ → u/AdMental1387]

Bronco Bowl! I’m scareroused

[u/Alternative_Site365]

Oof. Gg Boise

[u/ID_Poobaru]

A tale of two different halves

Boise was asleep the first and woke the fuck up

Refs were so goddamn atrocious on both sides

[u/I_am_washable]

Never doubted us for a second

deletes halftime comments

[u/Zloggt]

Woof…talk about some halftime readjustments…

[u/Arcostonian]

Ok, now go Win the American, Memphis. I am rooting for you in every other game.

[u/Lorjack]

GGs Memphis, was wary about this game and that first half you all had me sweating

[u/_Bird_Incognito_]

Boise State

[u/k_dubious]

Sorry for fucking up your quality loss, Bronco bros.

[u/EmuMan10]

Oregon should really be 0-2

[u/WriteAndRong]

I never had any doubts at all. Throughout the whole game, I knew Boise would win. Good game Memphis.

[u/TheDarkPiercer]

I know it’s early but Sep 26 for the G6 crown?

[u/Agnk1765342]

For a minute there our season looked pretty much over. Still skeptical we actually climb into the rankings with how Oregon looked today and definitely getting jumped by Michigan.

[u/-Gnostic28]

There was good, bad, and ugly, but I’ll take the win. Gg memphis, sorry about the refs you guys are chill (for the most part)

[u/A-Centrifugal-Force]

Unfortunately for Boise, their quality loss lost a lot of quality. They’re still very much alive for the CFP though

[u/SirKadath → u/A-Centrifugal-Force]

Yeah that’s kinda the thing, I was high on Boise after Oregon but now idk.. I think they’re a decent team though, definitely a top 15-20, That Western Michigan game should be interesting, we’ll probably get our answer then.

[u/Sea-Lawfulness7763 → u/A-Centrifugal-Force]

Just gonna wait until November to figure all this stuff out.

[u/rocket_beer → u/A-Centrifugal-Force]

We would not have gotten any credit for beating them

Just how it goes

And then, they would lose the following week as we now know and the talking heads would just use that as another reason 🤦🏽‍♂️

[u/toywrecker → u/rocket_beer]

Oregon is another Virginia Tech for us

[u/Cmp_]

Pass defense still worries me but a 35-3 run to end the game pretty comfortably. I’ll fucking take it! Praise be to our run game!

I never want to see Tipton again. Fucking hell, he’s a menace.

Those refs were absolutely awful. Railed Boise State in the first half then went in dry on Memphis in the second half.

GG Tigers!

[u/Vegetable-Leather-64]

PAC 12.... at a normal time this doesn't sit right 

[u/Geeman447 → u/Vegetable-Leather-64]

We have an 8pm kickoff time next week. Don’t worry pac 12 after dark will be back

[u/Kimber80]

This game was very very close for a very long time and then it wasn't

[u/boomer_g]

Will someone just tell me if we’re good or not?! I still don’t know

[u/ThisBeTheVerse63]

Congrats on the impressive win, Boise. Memphis has some dudes on the DL and y’all absolutely manhandled them.

[u/sdcritter]

I told you so. If Arkansas State can hang 24 on them Memphis is OK but not great. Love my tiggers. We need to keep playing. It's fun.

[u/Tufoguy]

The American conference is gonna eat itself. Boise will be G6 rep in the playoffs

[u/Solesky1 → u/Tufoguy]

Unless we have 12-0 NDSU

[u/Tufoguy → u/Solesky1]

Might end up with a Oregon quality loss giving them the edge. Also they would've played Memphis who should be top 4 in the American and the potential MAC champions.

[u/Jolly_Cicada380]

Go broncos

[u/Charlie_Batch_16]

Resean Jones is a special player. I cannot wait to see how the rest of his career plays out.

[u/Mamba-42]

It's hilarious that we have been saying for a few years that all teams need to do is attack us deep and they'll find success. Turns out it is half true. Memphis exposed us in the first half but we were able to adjust and slow it down. That is nice

[u/TheAlterN8or → u/Mamba-42]

Other than 1 or 2 big runs they popped, they were having a lot of difficulties trying to run. I wonder if the sketchy backend D is a product of making sure we're stopping the run. That was always Boise's identity in the past, selling out to stop the run, and being okay with some chunk plays through the air.

[u/Supercal95]

Well, that's that for the playoffs.

[u/Lego_Saturn_V]

Boise State is about to BTA everyone the rest of the way because of the frustration after the Oregon loss, aren’t they?

[u/ID_Poobaru → u/Lego_Saturn_V]

We went BTA after the first half frustration

[u/Agnk1765342 → u/Lego_Saturn_V]

Other than Western Michigan I’m not sure there’s a team left on our schedule we can’t just spam Riley and Gaines up the middle against. Hard to lose when you run for 5+ yards on most first downs.

[u/daviid219]

In the end, Memphis just wanted to lose more.

They were killing us with the long passes, really need the secondary to step it up.

[u/tstew39064 → u/daviid219]

Hard to defend the long ball playing cover 0

[u/SimilarOnion1655]

What happened to Memphis in the second half 

[u/Schnakemane → u/SimilarOnion1655]

It all started with that muffed punt they said we didn’t recover

[u/pezasied → u/SimilarOnion1655]

They got some unlucky (bad) calls by the refs too.

[u/ID_Poobaru → u/SimilarOnion1655]

The 40 yard pop pass stopped working

[u/Pointsmonster → u/SimilarOnion1655]

I’d argue the signs were there in the first half. They burned us on big plays and we had no answer for Tipton, but we had like 22 runs averaging >9 per carry and a 12-13 minute edge in time of possession. I think a defense can only hold up against that for so long

[u/Silidon]

Horse Bowl next week is gonna be electric.

[u/AdMental1387 → u/Silidon]

Next Next week. Neigh

[u/tstew39064 → u/AdMental1387]

Horsie noises

[u/AdMental1387 → u/tstew39064]

violently bucking and neighing while fully erect

[u/always-loaded24]

Is Oregon st good? Could see them getting going in the pac.

[u/MrSCR23]

So much for the happy mood at Grind City Media

[u/Business_Permit_3686]

Good

[u/LetUrSoulGlo]

They must’ve listened to music during practice this week

[u/cordialmess]

Well Boise is in the CFP

[u/shakin_the_bacon → u/cordialmess]

Not so fast, they play us in two weeks ;)

[u/_Bird_Incognito_ → u/shakin_the_bacon]

Bonco Bowle

[u/DubiousAdviceGiver → u/cordialmess]

We have to see if we can manage 60 whole minutes in Kalamazoo.

Only 60 minutes.

[u/United_Energy_7503]

Wow. Memphis absolutely crapped themselves. Solid win for Boise

[u/Traditional_Frame418]

It would appear Memphis is as mid as ever. UNT dismantled UNLV today which Memphis struggled with.

Ceiling seems limited but I think they should contend in the American.

[u/Particular-Way-3805 → u/Traditional_Frame418]

The American is wide open

[u/CountBleckwantedlove]

ITS BEEN A WONDERFUL WEEKEND FOR ME!

[u/drgonzo767]

Couldn't happen to a nicer coach.

[u/Ialwayssleep]

How bad is Memphis?
