tOfficial Georgia vs. Boise State pre-game hype thread

[UTVolCountry]

Both UGA & BSU will be wearing their home uniforms;
UGA will be on the south sideline (very appropriate) and in the visitors locker room, while BSU will be in the Falcons locker room; Referees will be from the SEC.

Since Georgia will be in the visitors locker room, will Boise "officially" be the home team?

^^^Idk really. I had heard something about UGA doing a "blackout" for this game. Black looks nice and all but idc what they wear as long as they win.

But if they do a blackout it seems like UGA would be the home team and boise would wear the white jerseys

I heard that both teams will wear their home jerseys - UGA in red, BSU in blue - BSU will occupy the falcons side of the field. IDK who is technically the home team, I don't think it matters.

Well with all the Bulldog fans there Georgia will be the home team either way. I think it's pretty cool both teams will be wearing their home jerseys.

You think they could have sold more than 7,500?

How does this compare to the # of tickets BSU received for the VT game last year?

Bet Todd Grantham is breaking down some Boise State video right now. He's studying QB Kellen Moore, trying to uncover some info that will help the 'Dogs defense slow him down. Just got through watching some video of Kellen playing the game myself.
Later this year, you'll hear about scouts questioning Kellen Moore's ability to play QB in the NFL, because of his stature and arm strength. He enters his final season at Boise State with a 3rd or 4th round tag. More on that in a moment.
Here is my scouting report: Kellen Moore has excellent recognition and anticipation skills. His accuracy and touch on the ball is outstanding. Can zing it into tight spots on the intermediate routes. Tremendous using play-action fake. Elusive in the pocket and effective throwing on the run. Impressive coming off primary target and checking down to secondary receivers. A master operating in the pocket. Cool, calm and collected.
Boise State's offense does a nice job of changing up personnel groups. They spread the field with 4-5 receivers, get Kellen in the 'gun and let him spread the ball around. They line up in the I-formation and play-action out of it. He'll get it to the RB in the passing game. And on 3rd down, the Bronco receivers always seem to get to the 1st down marker. That frustrates defenses.
Kellen is listed at 6', 190 pounds. That's undersized according to pro standards. His arm strength is also questioned by NFL personnel guys. You will hear comparisons to Mark Brunell and Drew Brees.
I would imagine Grantham's plan will not be to outsmart Kellen Moore. That's not going to happen. The diversity of this attack has the typical defense checking in and out of different coverages and responsibilities. Bet Grantham simplifies the plan and will try to turn his guys loose. The only way to slow Moore down is to get in his face.

Bullshit! Really?

I'm sure I made a post about the tickets, or atleast I meant too. They went on sale the 25th I think, at like 8 or 9 in the morning.

I knew they would go fast, so I just didn't even try. I mean it can be a hassle to get tickets for any home games, and Sanford Stadium has over 20k more seats.

Hopefully you'll have missed a hell of a game, but you're not missing anything in downtown ATL. Inside the Dome is nice, but the surrounding area is shitty and the parking situation is ridiculous.

2. You've got Boise State ranked No. 3 overall, behind Oklahoma and Alabama. Do you think the pollsters will ever truly give the Broncos consideration for a spot in the national title game? More importantly, do they really deserve it?

The biggest test for the Broncos is their season opener, and that game could just put them into the national title game this year. Boise is very talented, with seven starters back on offense, including QB Kellen Moore, and seven on defense. My power ratings have them No. 8 on offense and No. 12 on defense. They take on a very solid, underrated Georgia in the opener, and it is in the Bulldogs' back yard (Atlanta).

If they win that game, I think they will be a double-digit favorite in all the rest of their games with the toughest ones (Air Force and TCU) being on the blue turf. Should they be dominating in those games, they could get a huge boost from Georgia. I give Georgia a great shot at being 8-0 in the SEC and playing in the SEC title game. To have a win over the SEC East champ basically on the road would be huge to have in their back pocket. Should they be one of two lone unbeaten teams out there, I think they would have the chance to get to the title game.

3. Give us the five games you're most excited to see this season.

Boise St. at Georgia – Both teams are in my top 10, and the SEC team is basically at home and the underdog! Boise won at Virginia Tech in the opener last year. HUGE game for both teams and on the national landscape.
