Boise State definitely laid an egg offensively on Saturday and that egg was rotten. We’ll know this weekend if that performance was an outlier because Nevada is known to run the exact same defense that has now TWICE sunk the Broncos battleship. On top of that, Nevada has a much more varied and efficient offense than the one we saw against the Aztecs...if you had Boise going from NY6 darling to upset-alert at Reno in the course of 4 weeks in your office pool...well, I hope you never collect your winnings.

“Pierced spleen” may be more apropos as the Broncos will be without their top tackler for the rest of the season.
