When Boise State is an underdog and no one gives them a chance, they win. Just look at their past. Oklahoma in 2006, Oregon in 2008/2009, the 2010 Fiesta Bowl against TCU they were huge dogs, 2010 Virginia Tech, Georgia last year, list goes on
Yeah they might have lost Doug Martin and Kellen Moore, but I don't care, this is a successful program not because of individual players but because of the system and culture.
They might not win, but they are going to make Michigan State earn it, Boise State will be able to match up toe for toe here.
Plus Joe Southwick has experience, and studied for years under Kellen Moore, is finally getting his shot and I don't think there will be that much of a dropoff.
