Well, Boise State dropped their opener to Michigan State. It was the first time in recent history they'd lost an opening season game. With Joe Shoemaker at the Quarterback position this year he had some big shoes to fill. Joe, to his credit, stepped up to the plate. Unfortunately the anemic Broncos offense appeared to have taken valium only moments prior to setting foot on the field. They just never could seem to move down the field more than a few feet, resulting in several missed opportunities to score a touchdown. Worse yet, was when they did get a receiver in place they either were short on the catch or simply out of range for Joe's throws. Still, Southwick never got sacked and the Defense played a strong game. With only a handful of returning starters the Broncos are in the unenviable position of rebuilding after losing the likes of Kellen Moore at Quarterback and Doug Martin, the unstoppable bulldog.
Michigan State was in the same boat as the Broncos. The Spartans had a new quarterback and their O-line was led by a one man showboat named Bell. This one man wrecking machine is what kept the Spartans in the game and the Broncos out of reach of an opening win. With all the turnovers by the Spartans, the Broncos squandered several chances to score.
Fortunately for the Broncos they now have a kicker. Actually, two. And those field goals are what kept the favorite "Sister of the Poor" in the game. Next up Miami of Ohio after an unfortunate snooze fest bye week. Who does this scheduling? A bye week after one game? Come on, football schedulers. That is as lame as it gets. Except maybe when BSU takes on BYU. Then the two amigos will duke it out here on Flag Football.
