Over the years, Boise State has been known more for its offense than its defense.
After all, the program is synonymous with the infamous Statue of Liberty play that they pulled out in their upset win over Oklahoma in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl. And it doesn’t matter that the head coach from that game – Chris Petersen – has since moved on to UW.
Current Boise State coach Bryan Harsin was the offensive coordinator in 2007, and he’s maintained that offensive tradition at Boise State both in terms of gimmickry — that Statue of Liberty play was deployed again to beat Oregon State last season – and lethality.
