It's Miller Time 2030 and Beyond. "A Bleed Blue" CF26 Dyansty

[Deuce2223]

Barksdale slinging it 56 times while Swaim carries it 36 and another 19 for Coker dear lord ya'll punished them

It's crazy cause I don't feel like I have that many total plays but then I look and yea 119 Total plays and 44 1st Downs. One thing about Barksdale is I don't go for the big plays I use alot of screens, pass's to the TE and slants over the middle. Every time I go for the deep ball it either gets picked or my WR jumps up and fails to make the catch... I only averaged 6.9 yds per catch vs Stanford was 9.7

For the season Barksdale only averaged 8.7 yds per attempt well Exum averages 9.4 .

BRONCOS DOMINATE 2ND HALF END FINISH 9-0 IN PAC-12 PLAY

GAME RECAP

Tied (28-28) at the half it looked like USC was on it's way to securing it's 6th win of the season and handing the Broncos first loss of the season but Boise State came out of the locker room and dominated the 2nd half with 31 unanswered points including 3 straight scores in the 3rd Quarter.

Already with 4 passing touchdowns on the day RS FR Tobias Barskdale opened up the 2nd half with back to back big plays down field including a 36 yd bomb to Taj Carr as BSU took the lead and never looked back.

Boise State would add to their lead with a pair of rushing touchdowns by Desean Swim to close out the 3rd Quarter with a (49-28) lead. BSU continued to run the ball in the 4th as backup RB Brian Myers takes over on the final drive rushing 6 times including a 17 yd touchdown run to make it (56-28) but with 32 seconds on the clock USC got the ball back for 1 play before SO QB Keelan Fina (80 ovr) throws a INT that would actually set up a Cedric Eagles 42 yd FG as time expires.

Fina would end the game 28/50 (56%) for 319 yds with 1 TD and 1 INT

Coach Miller "

To be honest yeah the FG was un-needed points and I am sure I screwed up someone's sports bet with the extra 3 points but the truth is Cedric has struggled this year with his accuracy 12/20 (60%) and we wanted to give him a opportunity to work on his kicks in real game time."

KEY PLAYERS
QB T. Barksdale-26/36 (72%) 417 yds 5 TD
RB D. Swaim-27 carries 140 yds 2 TD
RB B. Myers-6 carries 30 yds 1 TD

WR E. Zentner-7 rec 120 yds 1 TD
WR T. Carr-4 rec 68 yds 1 TD
WR E. Chance-4 rec 59 yds
TE L. Ika-9 rec 157 yds 3 TD

UP NEXT
With the win, Boise State moves up 1 spot in the rankings to #3 after Miami FL is shocked by Georgia Tech (17-14).

Boise State will look to close out the regular season with a perfect 12-0 as they take on (6-5) Fresno State in a Week 13 rivalry matchup in the Battle for the Milk Jug.

BSU and Fresno State have only faced each other 3 times in this Dynasty but Miller is 3-0 against the Bulldogs.

Boise outgrowing the Pac12 already? Moving to Big Ten country next?

Boise outgrowing the Pac12 already? Moving to Big Ten country next?

Possibly.. I really prefer keeping my conferences regionally.. My hope was by getting rid of divisions that it would open up the schedule more to where maybe I play USC/UCLA/Stanford more often besides just having the Pac-12 North come down to me vs Oregon. The Big Ten has some bottom dwellers like Northwestern/Purdue, so I could look at bumping of or both of them out and into the American or CUSA.. I am probably going to look at a massive conference overhaul in 2035 (2 seasons from now) Another option could be a move to the Big 12 where they would at least go against schools like Texas, Oklahoma , Oklahoma State, TCU, Nebraska which would give them a bigger challenge

BRONCOS DOMINATE BULLDOGS FOR THE MILK CAN

Senior Day has arrived, as Coach Miller and the Broncos honor the the Seniors with 1 final start on "The Blue", with the biggest change being Brian Myers getting his first start at RB. The Arizona State transfer was a huge addition to the team after spending his last 4 seasons with the Sun Devils but but breakout seasons by both Desean Swaim and Angel Coker left Myers getting not as many touches as he had hoped. Tonight was a different story.

Myers would dominate the 1st half scoring 5 times, helping Boise State to a (49-0) lead going into the locker room .. Myers already with over 120 yds on the day would continue to be a focal point in the 3rd Quarter as he totes the rock 10 more times on his way to a 200 yd day (209 to be exact). Myers got alot of help with good field position as the Bronco Defense comes up with 3 INT's, (2 off Starter JR A. Egan (84 Ovr) and 1 off backup FR Athaya Kumerow (68 ovr).


A pair of turnovers by RS FR Tobias Barksdale (INT and a Fumble) finally got Fresno State on the scoreboard , but a 4 yd touchdown run by Angel Coker followed by a team safety followed by Desean Swaim touchdown and a Cedric Eagles FG left the Bulldogs down (68-7) going into the 4th.

Both teams would trade FG's to open up the 4th Quarter scoring to make it (71-10) but with 2:43 to play backup QB Nate "The Great" Exum would find Taj Carr on a 40 yd bomb down the middle of the field to make it (78-10). Fresno never giving up would go 80 yds in their 2 minute offense as Ja?maio Boger hauls in a 1 yd pass from Athya Kumerrow to make it (78-17) with 38 seconds to play.

With Fresno out of timeouts all Boise State had to do was kneel out the clock, but instead of a knee, Exum took the handoff tossed it to Desean Swaim and the Heisman hopeful did the rest as he goes 78 yds to the house..

FINAL SCORE BOISE STATE-85 FRESNO STATE-17

KEY PLAYERS
QB T. Barksdale-21/37 317 yds 2 TD 1 INT
QB N. Exum-10/12 158 yds 1 TD
RB B. Myers-31 carries 209 yds 5 TD
RB D Swaim-14 carries 106 yds 2 TD
RB A. Coker-11 carries 42 yds 1 TD, 4 rec 20 yds 1 TD
WR E. Chance-7 rec 92 yds 1 TD
WR T. Carr-6 rec 128 yds 1 TD
WR F. Donahue-3 rec 21 yds
WR E. Zentner-2 rec 35 yds
TE L. Ika-9 rec 179 yds


UP NEXT

BSU will now prepare for the their 7th Pac-12 Championship..

With the win over Fresno, Boise State is a lock to remain in the Top-12 meaning no matter the outcome of the Pac-12 title game Boise State will extend their playoff streak with their 10th trip. as they look to defend their National Title.

WEEK 14 TEAM REPORT

QUARTERBACK PLAY

With his 300+ yd performance against the Bulldogs RS Freshman Tobias Barksdale finishes the regular season with 3055 yds with 28 TD and 9 INT despite playing in just 8 games.

Redshirt Sophomore and UAB transfer Nate "The Great" Exum added to his totals appearing in this 6th game this season finishing with 1408 yds with 14 TD and 0 INT's.

5* Recruit Ezra Neighbors filled in during Barksdale's injury playing in 4 games throwing for 633 yds with 6 TD and 5 INT.

GROUND ATTACK

Despite playing in just 1 Quarter against the Bulldogs, Redshirt Sophomore Desean Swaim still managed to get to 100 yds and finish the regular season with 1759 yds on 325 carries (5.4 avg) scoring 26 TD's. He appeared in all 12 games and averaged 146.6 yds per game with 13 runs over 20+ yds including his 78 yd touchdown in the 4th Qurater.

Redshirt Sophomore Angel Coker was a huge addition to the RB room this season replacing JeMarcus Boykins as the Broncos change of pace/3rd Down back and receiving threat. Coker had 128 carries for 808 yds (6.3 avg) and 12 TD's Coker also finished with 470 yds and 4 TD's through the air and produced 921 returns yards with 2 TD's giving leaving him just 1 yd shiy of a 2000 yard All-purpose season with 18 TD's.

Arizona State transfer SR Brian Myers is very likely the best #3 RB in the nation. With Myers breakout 30+ 200 yd and 5 TD performance against the Bulldogs, Myers finished the regular season tied with Coker for 128 carries and touchdowns (12) finishing with 612 yds (4.8 avg).. Like Coker he was also huge in the return game leading the team with 17 Kick returns with 412 yds (24.2 avg) giving him over 1000 All-purpose yards.

AIR ATTACK

Redshirt Freshman Enrique Chance hit the 1000 yd mark against the Bulldogs finishing the regular season with 97 rec for 1068 yds and a team high 18 TD's.

Senior TE Larry Ika's huge Senior night has pushed him within striking distance of joining Chance in the 1000 yd club. Ika now has 949 yds on 56 receptions well catching 10 toucdowns. He actually leads the team in yards per catch with (16.9)

Redshirt Sophomore Taj Carr also put together a strong season and like Ika is close to joining the 1000 yd club. Carr has 66 rec for 907 yds and 6 TD.

JR Eric Zentner for the first time in his career will not likely no hit the 1000 yd club.. Breakout years by Chance/Ika/Carr as well as the run game limited "Z" to career lows 49 rec for 666 yds and 5 TD but with the Pac-12 title game plus the playoffs, "Z" still has a chance.

Despite being limited to just 22 receptions, backup TE Steven Strong has made a strong impression on Bronco fans and the coaching staff showing he is ready and capable of so much more. Strong finished with 320 yds (14.5 avg) and tied Zentner with 5 TD's.

Wisconsin transfer RS SO Felix Donahue slid down the depth chart but still managed to produce 324 yds on 25 recetioins (13.0 avg)

SAYING GOODBYE

The Broncos will say goodbye to a all-Senior O-line at the end of the season, injuries to LG Dashwan Moffett (676 snaps) and RT Johnathan Daniels (686 snaps) led to former Washington transfer JR Quinn Punga (1027 snaps) acting like a 6th starter...

NO FLYZONE

With 3 more INT"s against the the Bulldogs, Boise State finishes the regular season with a school record 23 INT's.. Former Iowa transfer Quincy Forrest leads the team with 7. after finishing with 4 last year.

JR Roland Finley currently has 5 matching his total as a True Freshman well RS SO Barry Stack has 3 despite missing 4 games win injuries

SS T. Tubbs, FS M. Moreau and CB A. Killebrew all each have 2 well OLB Tye Hoppes and M. Darnold each have 1.

PASS RUSH MIA

After having 4 players finish with double digit sacks last season the Boise State ha struggled with 4 new starters on the D-Line. BSU as a team has recorded just 20 sacks this season. SR Aman Ohalete leads the team with 7.5 which includes 2.5 sacks and the safety he had against Fresno State.

RS SO DT Damien Kern is 2nd on the team with 4.5, well former 5* DE N. Parker has recorded just 1..5 and only 5 TFL all season.

CEDRIC EAGLES


SR PK Cedric Eagles had a breakout season in 2031 connecting on 21/28 FG's (75%) but improved on those #'s in 2032 finishing 37/42 (88) well also connecting on a perfect 98/98 XPT on his way to winning the Lou Groza Award. However this season Eagles has struggled connecting on 14/22 (63%) including just 1/7 on kicks of 50+ after going 4/6 last year.. Eagles has been pretty automatic on XPT though connecting on 98/99 with his only miss being blocked kick.

RECRUITING UPDATE

For the first time in his career Coach Matt Miller actually had some early success during in-season recruiting taking advantage of multiple home games before Week 10, however since Week 10 things have slowed down.

BSU did add 3* QB/ATH Kyle Mast (#1674/#153 CA) this past week after the Fresno State game. Mast listed at 6/2 218lbs from Pacific Palisades CA is a multiple position Athlete who could see time at QB depending on the decisions of current #3 Ezra Neighbors.

BSU however lost out on several key O-LIne recruits this week which could be a major setback in seasons to come.

4* RT Tony Torrez (#111 Overall/#2MI/#10 OT) has decided to stay home and signed with Michigan

4* OG Greg Judge (#88 Overall/#2 OK/#6 OG) is doing the same and will be a Oklahoma Sooner.

Nebraska has become a top recruiting rival for Boise State on Midwest recruits but this time the Cornhusker ventured out west and stole another away from the Broncos as 4* MLB Manu Crum (#183 Overall/#5 AZ/#26 LB) from Scottsdale Arizona has declared after his Week 12 visit to Boise.

NFL DRAFT AND PORTAL RUMORS

Boise State is no stranger to players leaving early for the NLF after QB Cam Hooks and RB Brian Crum both declared early becoming 1st Round Picks

Reports are several Broncos are being targeted again tis year including RB's Desean Swaim and Angel Coker as well as WR's Eric Zentner and Taj Carr.

All 4 players are projected as late 1st and early 2nd Round picks.

5* QB Ezra Neighbors eyeing schools with more PT potential. Reports are Ezra Neighbors time in Boise could be short lived. Neighbors was a late addition to the class last season as most assumed he would sign with UNC. Neighbors however signed with BSU and appeared in 4 games with Tobias Barksdale sidelined . He came in relief of Barksdale against Oregon State and led the Broncos to a victory completing 5/8 pass's and rushing for the game winning touchdown.. Then a week later in a start against Nevada he threw for 261 yds with 5 TD and 1 INT But struggles against UCLA (138 yds 3 INT led to UAB transfer Nate Exum jumping him on the depth chart as the team's #2.

[Deuce2223]

Just putting up crazy numbers

Yeah it's time to make a change. . I thought about making up a story about OC Marcus Arroyo leaving and switching up the playbook but I extended him but then again I still havn't played the Pac-12 Championship so I have time to still go back and fire him. I also might go back to playing 10 min Quarters.. and see if that changes up the # of plays enough to make a difference.

[djp73]

Will be interesting to see what you decide to do
