Why do people still seem to think off this team as a gimmick finesse offensive minded team???? I swear some people still seem to think Boise is one of those finesse Hawaii teams that got smashed by 31 points in that BCS bowl game
Boise is actually a great and very physical defensive team with an excellent offensive line and one of the best QBs in the country. For example, take a look at Boise's defensive line
Billy Wynn - 6-4 295
Mike Atkinson - 6-1 320
Tyrone Crawford - 6-4 276
Shea Mcclelin - 6-3 258
that's an average size of 307 LBs at the defensive tackle position - hell that's bigger than the Chicago bears 2 starting tackles. Their defensive ends also have good size and very good athleticism. To me, Boise's defense is only secondary to LSU and Alabama - I think they have the 3rd best defense in the country
I just wish people would stop dismissing this team because they haven't played a lot of tough opponents - Watch this team on tape and tell me they don't play with the same discipline and intensity as any of the teams in the top 10.
