But that same Oregon team last year put 32 on Boise State!!! Obviously, Boise State has improved, but Oregon just got out-played. It has nothing to do with the Big 12.
Do you really think Boise State defense is better than Oklahoma's or Texas'?
Okie State finished 4th in the Big 12 last year (behind the Big 3 who were tied). They spent the season in and out of the Top 10. I believe they were the higher ranked team going into the 2008 Holiday Bowl. Oregon and Mr. Sucker Punch ran ~WILD~ over Okie State
And, so, given that Boise State smacked the Ducks around in Autzen last year, given that the Ducks were coming off the greatest Bowl performance of any team (arguably) and given that they had their entire offense back, and given that they talked shit before the game....for "little" Boise to shut them out at half and hold them to 20 yrds, no First downs, is something nobody saw coming and something that Okie State couldn't do. So, if we all get an inflated opinion of Oregon's offense going into this game, than maybe we put too much stock in that Okie State result 6 months ago. Yeah, it's the first game of a new season, but there weren't any significant personal changes on offense.
Maybe Boise State's defense isn't as good/tough as Texas or Oklahoma, but then it's better than every other Big12 defense at this point. :dunno: And it might be good enough to beat Oklahoma again and/or Texas. Maybe we'll get a Boise State vs Texas matchup in the BCS this year. I'd be shocked if Boise State loses a game from here on.
Titsrock? Stereotypes? All I was saying was he was white because I did not know his name. You brought up the white thing. not me. I just said he was the white lineman.
Do you see that you're talking out of your ass right here, in front of us all? I didn't bring up race. YOU DID. Why didn't you just say "that Boise State player" got clowned. No, you made very inflammatory and ignorant remarks about black and white athletes. Maybe you just don't get it. And since you typed this part of your response, clearly you don't get it.
If you don't know someone's name--maybe you should find some other way to refer to him/her other than "that white guy" or "that black guy".
Big 12 Defenses, on balance, are garbage. Oklahoma Fan should shut his piehole because the last time I saw a "vaunted Oklahoma Defense" loaded with NFL stars, it was getting clowned and blown out in the Orange Bowl against a Pac10 team:dunno:
I think Texas, Oklahoma, USC, LSU, Alabama all have serious issues going into the season. Even the Gators have issues. Do the Gators have any WRs worth shit? Percy Harvin is gone....Tebow can't run his way to an NC, can he? He's gonna have to throw it to someone other than Aaron Hernandez (whos a legit scary stud, btw).
