A lot was to be expected from this matchup between Boise State and the Washington State Cougars. The Broncos’ offense looked like a well-oiled machine against the likes of University of Louisiana-Lafayette. But they are a Sun Belt team and the Broncos were expected to make short work of them. The Cougars are a bit of a different animal, losing to Eastern Washington notwithstanding.
With Kam Miles, Jake Roh, Joe Martarano, and Sam Whitney additional bodies out of the game (to go along with the other players out) the Broncos had even MORE pressing defensive issues in the secondary.
