It’s not the fact that Tulsa lost to Oklahoma without QB Sam Bradford, it’s how badly they lost (45-0). The Golden Hurricane has an offense very similar to that of Oregon, who put up all of eight points against the Broncos defense. BSU has held three teams to 31 yards rushing or less this season, which will force Tulsa QB Bower to put the ball in the air against an opportunistic defense that forced multiple turnovers in its first four games. Boise State has been a covering machine the past two seasons, recording ATS wins in 12 of its last 14 games. They are 6-0 ATS in the road favorite role and have covered seven straight games off the home blue turf. The Broncos are 15-2 SU all-time vs. C-USA teams, scoring an average of 40 PPG. Simply put, they are the far superior team. Don’t think for a second that the Broncos won’t be taking this game seriously. A win here and its clear sailing to an unbeaten season and BCS bowl berth (possible BCS Title game?). Boise State is our 15* Non-Conference Game of the Week.
