Boise Discussion - 7:30pm

[ASUFan4863]

My god listen to yourself.

What happened to anybody anywhere anytime?

Those slogans are cute but not realistic in every battle. Multiple things can be true. We can fight, which we did, and also be overmatched, which we were. Boise flipped a switch that we are not capable of and finished the game on a 23-0 run. They are a great team. We are not. It’s not rocket science.

If this is where we are going as a fan base count me out.

We beat a top budget SEC team just two seasons ago. And we are saying we can’t compete with Boise?

Geez. Are you actually this dense or just arguing? The conversation had nothing to do with budget but okay.

In this moment of time, September 2025, Boise State is a much better football team than we are. That doesn’t mean we cannot compete with them or should run away from the challenge. We competed with them for 3 quarters and got our ass kicked in the final 20 minutes. I don’t see the controversy here.

In September 2022, Texas A&M was not a good football team. We competed and beat them. However, we too were also not a good football team in 2022 but we were better that day.

Calling a team a great team is not calling our team trash. It’s calling them a great team.

I disagree that theyre a great team.

They got demolished by USF.

They won’t win 10 games.

We won’t win 5

I’ll come back to this after the play Notre dame. Noted for future discussion.

This is a weird take. We beat A&M and they aren’t good. We get housed by a Boise team that got housed by south Florida and we are suppose to pat ourselves on the back because they didn’t score 60. Like what!

It’s really not but it takes a reasonable level of intelligence and football knowledge. How is it weird to call a 5-7 team not good?

Boise State is a better team than A&M in 2022. That isn’t a weird take.

I’m also not patting ourselves on the back? We weren’t good enough tonight, but that doesn’t mean we are a terrible team yet. Are we that far beyond decency, common sense and intelligence that we can’t have reasonable takes anymore?

Again no one was expecting a win but to get beat by 40 by this Boise team is unacceptable. We didn’t lose lines this to sec schools when we were FCs. You are arguing to argue which is typical for this board. And this Boise team has looked plenty beatable this year

Barnes

0 receptions
0 rushing yards

Dude will be in the power 4 next year but god forbid we use him

[Seattleapp]

Defense played well until they got wore out. Running game looks good, but we don’t have enough horses and the O line is thin. Can’t throw pic 6’s every game and expect to win. Not sure if that is a QB issue or lack of protection issue. I’d like to see if a QB change makes a difference. But it might be the same if we can’t protect the QB. Luckily, our schedule is pretty easy from here minus JMU. Think we can get 4+ wins, maybe so momentum will help

A reasonable and thoughtful post.

Did you even watch the game

[Seattleapp]

Dude we shouldn’t be losing by this much to another g5 school period

Boise is closer to a P4 Big 10 school than they are to us. They went toe to toe with Oregon and Penn state last season for the record. Everyone’s expectation were skewed because they had a terrible week 1 against a very good USF team, who is also closer to a P4 SEC school than us (as evident by them beating Florida).

According to one poster this Boise team was hells better than that A&M team so that win means nothing. This is the idiotic stuff we get in this board

2014: L to Michigan 52-14
2013: L to UGA 45-6
2011: L to VT 66-13
2010: L to UF 48-10

I am not arguing to argue. I am arguing to hopefully have reasonable discussions on football performance. I’ve not called it acceptable one time. I’m just trying my best to explain it, other than calling for firings and degrading the players or staff. I can’t help it if people struggle with facts or having reasonable discussions.

Boise beat us the same way they beat Eastern Washington. Another G5 team, Airforce, made a game with them. Another good G5 team, USF, beat them. Let’s not pretend they are Florida or Georgia.

I watched this game up close and personal. You referenced 4 p4 teams. Boise is our peer. We shouldn’t be losing like this to another g5 school. Boise is not Michigan. This boise team gave up a million yards to a bad Air Force team a week ago. We had 2 weeks to prepare and did this. I’m mid sure how you can’t see this

A reasonable and thoughtful post.

Did you even watch the game

Yes. Defense played decent but gave up too much through the air. I was extremely impressed with the run defense considering that is Boise’s strength and their OL is good. I was impressed with the linebackers tackling, pursuit and fitting the run gaps.

I was not impressed with the secondary at all. Poor tackling and coverage.

On offense, I was impressed with run blocking and the running backs. Extremely disappointed in Swann, the receivers and playcalling.

Special teams had a great punt return but other than that were not much to write home about. However, that return set us up to score so that was a difference maker.

Boise coulda scored 60. Our run game was bad minus one long run. We have problems and I am usually the biggest homer ever

Air Force runs a triple option that is difficult to prepare for.

We played decent for 30 minutes and played bad for the other 30 minutes, which has been a microcosm of our season so far. That just isn’t going to work against good teams. I’m not sure what else there is to say. Feels like I’m talking to a wall. We have problems because we aren’t a good football team. We have a few good football players.

Get this, about to blow your mind here - 19-14 Boise in the second and third quarter. That’s 30 minutes of us playing “decent”. The problem is we played like horse crap the other 30 minutes to the tune of 28-0. Once again failing to see the controversy in that statement.

[Rekdiver]

we have problems in every phase of the game. I’m curious what teams with more than 50 new faces are doing well….

The political stereotypes may not apply to me. There was no moment when we were in that game. It’s weird you are arguing with yourself over this. Were we good or completely overmatched ? Make up your mind. And that’s not how the triple option works btw.

You comprehend about every 3 words I say and twist the others. It’s frustrating as heck.

For the 100th time, did I say we played good? No. Never. I never said that. At all. Like literally at all. Never. NO.

We played terrible to start the game and then played okay for the middle part of the game and then played atrociously bad to finish the game.

We were completely overmatched in the fourth quarter. Once again, I’ll repeat myself in hopes you comprehend it this time, Boise state flipped a switch that we could not come close to matching late in the 3rd and fourth quarter.

I’m not even going to discuss Air Force’s offensive scheme with you until you can understand basic English words. One challenge at a time.

Again arguing to argue. We are both saying app played poorly. The triple option doesn’t lend itself to a lot of downfield passing. It’s a run heavy scheme. Passing for 250 yards is not the triple option. You are so busy being snarky you keep cutting your nose off despite your face. But keep swingin

[AppSt94]

We aren’t a good football team. It’s that simple. Will we improve throughout the season? Hopefully.
