Boise State has seen its fair share of dominant football games over the last two decades, but Saturday’s 62-7 rout of UConn was something else.
The 625-yard differential (818-193) was the largest between two FBS teams since 2000, topping the Broncos’ 621-yard edge in the 2015 Poinsettia Bowl. The offense has been explosive, the defense stifling — the Broncos have won by a combined 118-27 thus far. So, it was only a matter of time before others outside of Boise took notice.
SB Nation’s Steven Godfrey gifted us with “Murder Smurfs” to describe the drubbings handed out by the boys in blue the first two weeks.
