Boise State is again undefeated which seems to be the norm in Boise every year. I don't think this is the same type of team the Broncos have had in the past howeve. Evidence is emerging to back that up, but their reputation proceeds them so they are overvalued here. The Broncos have failed to score 40 points in a game through six weeks. That has not hapened since 1996-97 when they were a 2-10 team. The offense lacks the explosiveness we have seen over the last several years. Bring in a San Jose State team ranked #13 in the Nation on defense, and the stage is set for a possible upset. The Broncos win at home, but on the road they are vulnerable. They almost lost here two years ago, winning with a FG as time expired. The time before that they were taken to double OT by a San Jose State team ranked number 108 in offense (that produced 49 points vs the Broncos). San Jose is 5-2, losing to Nebraska after being down just 2 points in t 4th quarter on the road. A kick return and INT return did them in. They outplayed the Cornhuskers, outgaining them in that one.They also lost at Stanford in a game that was tied 10-10 deep in the 3rd quarter. They have proven they can step up on the road and now they get a chance to step up at home. I think they have a shot to spring the upset here, and will take the generous points.
