Why are you guys predicting such luxurious offensive games?

 

VT, while not as strong defensively as probably years past, are a totally respectable unit with one of the best defensive coaches in the country manning the group. The defense only allowed Alabama's 34 points as the benchmark for highest total against last year, and the Tide's offense last season is way more advanced then this group.

 

Boise State gets a little overrated offensively, they have a solid receiving core, a good college quarterback but they aren't flashy, they don't score a lot of points on teams with respectable defenses, either. They posted several 40+ games last year on terrible WAC competition. Every game the Broncos played a legit or even semi-legit defense, they weren't barn burners all of a sudden (19 points on Oregon, 17 on TCU, even 28 on Tulsa) so to suggest a 44-41 game on a solid defense is a little ridiculous.

 

I'll say Boise wins this game, but it'll be close as VT is pretty much a home team and they certainly play well at home. 20-14 Boise State.

Last season:

Gave up 26 to Duke

28 to Georgia Tech

20 to UNC

15 to Nebraska(weren't a very good offensive team last year to say the least)

 

They don't give up a lot to some teams, but then again, they don't have the world's toughest schedule(not even close)

It's still not good, it shows miscommunication and that they're rattled by the crowd, and their play selection so far is weak.

lol, its very common in college games. using a timeout isn't a big deal like it is in the pros, where you are under the pressure of saving them.
