DonBestAdvantage offered the following observation in regard to the Broncos chances:
Boise State's former offensive coordinator from 2006-10 Bryan Harsin will be taking over as head coach for the departed Chris Petersen, who has moved on to the University of Washington. The Broncos will have a senior quarterback in Grant Hedrick to run the offense. They struggled defensively last season allowing, 30 or more points in five of six road games and will have to tighten that up to take the conference this year.
To get a better sense as to why we here at Gambling911.com would tend to lead towards the UNDER 9.5 with Boise State, check out what Scout.com has to say about the defense and just how extremely vulnerable they could prove to be throughout this season:
Can the secondary stop someone? The pass rush was good enough, and there was talent and athleticism in the secondary, but the pass defense was lit up for 3,240 yards and 17 touchdowns after allowing 2,203 yards and four scores in 2012, 2,741 yards in 2011 and 21 touchdowns in 2011, and 1,962 yards and eight scores in 2010. Making things statistically worse, that’s counting games against Air Force and New Mexico teams that couldn’t throw a forward pass. Everyone buy those two teams connected on a whopping 60% of their passes or more, and it was nightmare time against the teams with decent quarterbacks. Washington, Fresno State, Oregon State and Nevada all spent their respective games playing catch. Fortunately, all four starters return and experience should translate into more production. There’s depth to play around with, too – expect a major turnaround.
Fortunately for Boise State, most of the big games are at home. Unfortunately, They have a road trip at Connecicut and against Ole Miss in Atlanta, not to mention a tough game against BYU at home. Nevada on the road could prove dangerous as well.
The purious defense tells us this school will have a tough time playing over .500 so UNDER -9.5 regular season wins in our prediction here.
