    Why is Boise State only -8?

    Boise State's won their last 4 games by an average margin of 45 points.

    Boise State beat Utah State last season by 31.

    But tonight the spread is 8???

    What angle is this?

    From Root:

    "There was a key injury at the QB position for Boise 3 weeks ago as Ryan Finley went down. Enter Brett Rypien as a red shirt Freshman. Brett Rypien's next chance to continue proving his worth comes Friday night at Utah State, where at least a share of the Mountain West's Mountain division lead will be on the line. His last two starts were against weak opposition of which he marveled. But tonight, Rypien gets tested in a huge game against Utah St. Boise has a key injury problem as the leading RB in the nation, Jeremy McNichols , suffered a concussion last week. The Utah Aggies' win over the Rams last home game was their 11th straight at home since losing 34-23 to Boise on Oct. 12, 2013. Much to do about Boise' ranking and top 10 stats are based on playing bad teams. Utah St is a quality opponent and will bring it."

    looks like an easy win to me also. the starting qb for boise getting injured was the best thing that ever happened to that team. they are ten times better on offense now.

    Rypiens is way better than Finley.

    He's been out for almost a month, he goes down every year and they still play well. I wonder if they are better without him as he probably tries to do too much, maybe they arnt though. State only lost to Utah on the road by 10 and Wash on the road by 14, both good teams, still Boise usually handles them ok.

    Their new QB is better. Chuckle has lost a step. Those injuries took its toll on him physically as well as mentally. This new kid is pretty good. Having said that, the stands will have as many Boise fans as Utah State fans. They travel really well. So home field not a huge advantage. Utah State D is solid but I still think Boise wins by 10+ points in the end.

    I agree but this line sure looks fishy. Books expect USU to start fast. I may go with USU first half and see whats happening for the 2nd half???

    Ripken showing his youth, but that int and fumble will be the turning point of the game.

    Oddsmakers must have known Boise State would commit 5 turnovers in the 1st half.

    6 turnovers are you kidding me? No wonder the line was 8. This is a fix.

    This is the craziest game I have ever seen. Its obvious the linesmakers had inside info as to what was going to happen. 6 turnovers in a half? Down 38-10 in a half, after you've won 4 straight games by an average of 45. Crazy. Line was also dropping all day. Started at -9.5 and went to -7

    WOW...45-10 and the 7th turnover of the half. I been watching college football for almost 30 years and never seen a game like this. Probably wont ever see a game like this again.

    Don't remember 7 turnovers in a half, so many tipped balls, better off turning it over on qbs fumble.
