Yeah.

Big strides this year. But we still have some holes to fill. That's still a really talented team for Boise.

This might be the only game where we have a reasonable split (40/60 60/40) for any game. They’ve always been pretty one sided and right in 10 of 12.

He does have that potential, doesn’t he. As good as he has been ….

He doesn't have a ton of picks this year. But it feels like he has had a good amount of almost or easily-could-have-been picks this year.
You want your QB to have a short memory but still learn from mistakes. It is a tough balance. We've seen him hesitate a bit more the last few weeks.
Doug started out slinging it with no fear, but probably got too conservative over the years.

You're way off base...it's 8 field goals and a blocked extra point returned the other way for the 25th point

The CSU game with 6 field goals was painful to sit through. So many missed opportunities. Glad he cashed in on what was available, but not putting the ball in the end zone in a tight game from start to finish can be agonizing.

Much like SJSU Boise has been playing their best football lately and it started with their comeback win against SJSU.

UNLV hasn't been playing great.

Boise looks like the better team the last few weeks but HELL NO, I got to go with UNLV here. Been suffering through almost 40 years of bad football. This is our year! Rebels damn near give me a heart attack but win it at the end.

UNLV 31
Boise 30

 

[goraphareb]

Rebs 28 - Boise 27

Rebels stop Boise to a couple crucial FGs and we get a huge TO late for the win.

UNLV 30-21

Almost seems like you can get a good read on him from the first series or two, how he's going to perform the entire game. There's games where he's just off and you tighten up every time he releases.

Then there's games when you aren't worried and you know we will break 40 with ease.

Freshman, I guess. But he's been lucky the past couple of weeks, there's a few balls that should have been easily picked.

 

[Bullmastiff 1]

UNLV 30-21

That would be an incredible performance by the defense..

Fingers crossed.

I think a returned xp is 2 points 🤔

 

[Rebel1986]

You can't get two points for a return without the other team first getting a TD. 6 points each time will more than cover 2 points each time!

 

[Mojo702]

I misread though he did say a "blocked extra point"

We're an underdog for a reason. Hoping we can keep big plays, quick strikes, and turnovers to a minimum if so we got a chance.

Running game gets going early and Boise cant stop White. Maiava throws for 315 and 3 TDs, Jet goes for 2 TDs, Defense gets 2 picks and forces a fumble.

 

[Babalouie]

UNLV - 38
BSU - 27

 

[RebelSaint702]

If all that happens I don't think Boise scores 31!

My bad.

Jerrae Williams and Johnathan Baldwin playing this Saturday? Yeah boy! It is going to be a great Saturday in Vegas.

Baldwin saw time last game. Jerrae should be back. I want both. We need guys making strong tackles …

All hands on deck!

All hands on deck!

Just don’t miss that first tackle. We will pay if we do. Have to at least slow them, can’t do the Dodge Masters moves.

 

[dcut03]

I saw a tweet from jerrae that really sounded like he was playing this week.
"See you Saturday" I think it was

 

[rebneck]

If Avalos were still coaching this prediction would be reversed, but the Broncos are playing inspired ball and a lot of it is aimed at getting the 'interim' tag removed from Spencer Danielson.

UNLV - 27 BSU - 34
