Charred Duck is the best.

Glad you were able to lock in a replacement for Draft. Heading into the portal knowing you need a QB is not fun

Who doesn't love some Charred Duck... What's funny is signed Cam Hooks who is a RS Soph out of the portal last season.. He was only a 4* and was like ranked #100 so I thought, I was grabbing a guy who maybe I would have for a 2 years after Draft left well I searched for my next QB. Instead Hooks comes in rated as a 91 ovr.. When I did a sim ahead to get an idea who might leave early and who might jump into the Portal, there was Hooks thinking about the NFL as a 6th round pick, well Rattay my #3 (also a RS SO rated 79 ovr) hits the portal looking for PT, leaving me no QB's on my roster except former 3* ATH Tyrone Waddle who I moved to WR this past off-season. So yea Barksdale at this point looks like a Day 1 starter probably and hopefully maybe I can get lucky and get 3 years out of him

BRONCOS MAKE IT 8 STRAIGHT!!

GAME RECAP

Boise State won it's 8 straight game since their Week 1 loss well also improving to (6-0) in Pac-12 play putting them in pretty good position to claim the Pac-12 North title with 3 games to play as they defeat Washington State on the road in Week 11.

The Cougars played well in the 1st Quarter giving the home crowd hope as JR QB Manuel Suarez (79 ovr) throws a pair of touchdowns to tie the game (14--14), but Boise State retake the lead in the 2nd Quarter as Tua Draft throws his 2nd and 3rd touchdowns of the day as Marquez Stockton (26 yds) and Conner Friesz (28 yds) both haul in scores. making it (28-14) at the half.

BSU would open up the 2nd half with the ball and quickly added to their lead as Jermarcus Boykins already with a receiving touchdown in the 1st Quarter adds a 14 yd rushing score to make it (31-14)..The Broncos would add to their lead later as Cedric Eagles connects from 45 yds out to make it (34-14).

With most of the home crowd already out the door, those left were able to watch as Boise State turns the ball over twice in the 4th Quarter (INT and Fumble) but both turnovers would lead only to a pair of FG's as the Cougars go 3/16 on 3rd downs on the day.

FINAL SCORE BOISE STATE-38 WASHINGTON STATE-20

BRONCOS DOMINATE BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL

GAME RECAP
Boise State dominates the 1st half despite 2 INT’ by Tua Draft early in the game.

BSU opened up the game with a 25 yd run by Brian Crum who was coming off a 192 yard performance last week against Washington State. Draft would end the 1st drive with a INT instead the redzone facing a 3rd and goal but the Broncos quickly get the ball back as SR CB Kyrie Darnold comes away with a INTof his own giving Draft new life and the SR QB delivers a 10 yd strike TE Roy Carney for the first score of the game. Utah answers back though tying the game (7-7) with 4 minutes to play in the 1st.

Drafts 2nd INT would give the Broncos next drive but a quick 3 and out gives BSU the ball back with 3:11 to play After a pair of 1st down pass plays BSU would turn back to SO RB Brian Cumb who delivers with a nice 22 yd score on a direct snap as BSU takes the lead (14-7).

The 2nd Quarter started slow for the Broncos as Cedric Eagles misses a pair of FG’s (56 yds and 28 yds) but a 35 yd pass from Draft to Conner Friesz puts the Broncos in scoring position and Draft finds Friesz again for a 7 yd score as BSU extends their lead to (21-7).

Utah after a pair of 1st downs is forced to punt after Freshman QB George Wear(68 ovr) takes a sack for a 8 yd loss and Boise State pounces as Boykins and Crum combine for 40 yards to help another score as Draft finds True Freshman Eric Zentner on a 19 yd strike to make it (28-7).

Another Boise State INT this time by SR SS Nake Kohou set ups another scoring opportunity for the Broncos but facing a 4th and 2, Coach Miller elects to go for it vs sending out Eagles for a 23 yd FG.. The Utes Defense comes up with a huge stop but again Wear and the offense fail to put points on the board.

Still (28-7) Utah punts the ball to Boise State with 4 seconds to play in the half. Miller up by 3 scores calls for a HB draw to end the half but Jermarcus Boykins has other ideas as he takes the handoff 69 yds to the house as BSU silences the #21 ranked crowd at Rice Eckles Stadium.

Crum (13 carries 117 yds 1 TD) and Boykins (8 carries 111 yds 1 TD) combine for 228 yds and 2 scores well Draft finishes the half 19/31 for 223 yds with 3 TD and 2 INT.

Draft's 3rd INT of the game opens up the 2nd half as Akee Otomewo takes the INT and turns it into a "Pick 6" to make it (35-14) but Boise State answers back as Jermarcus Boykins breaks free for another huge 62 yd touchdown run making it (42-14). BSU would get the ball back as the Bronco Defense steps up and picks off George Wear as Roland Finley get's his 5th INT of the season setting up a Brian Crum 1 yd score to make it (49-14) but Wear rebounds with his 2nd touchdown of the game making it (49-21) as we head into the 4th.

The 4th Quarter was all Boise State. Wear would leave the game early in the 4th as fellow FR QB Ben Sturdivant (66 Ovr) takes over. Sturdivant would struggle completing just 3/16 passes on the day for 54 yds and worse he would throw 2 INT's as the Broncos Defense comes away with 5 I INT's on the day.

On Offense Jermarcus Boykins and Brian Crum were not done dominating the Utes Defense. With Tua Draft on the sidelines, Redshirt Sophomore transfer Cam Hooks (San Diego State) would take over under center and Boykins would make him look good taking one of his first pass's 63 yds to the house. Boykins would then add a 9 yd TD run for his 3rd rushing touchdown and 4 score on the day to make it (63-21).

Brian Crum however wasn't done yet though. Crum who played multiple high school games at Rice-Eccles growing up in Salt Lake would score 3 more times on the day including a 32 yd run with less then 20 seconds to play as Boise State scores a season high 87 points.

FINAL SCORE BOISE STATE-87 UTAH-21

Crum "

It felt great to have my best game of my career in front of my friends and family.. My parents are both Utah Alumni so I know it was a little bittersweet for them.. Our house might Bleed red but my heart Bleeds Blue."

Draft gotta tighten it up or the interceptions are going to derail you guys

Yeah it's been a weird season.. Utah's record was deceiving.. Having 2 Freshman combine for 5 INT's didn't help and gave me short field position so many times.

For sure... It's been a weird season. I made some slider adjustments after that 100 point game vs Memphis and it seemed to be giving me a bigger challenge especially cutting down y big runs by Crum/Boykins but Utah throwing 5 INT set me up for quite a few easy scores and those guy's just slashed trough the Utah Defense..

Draft is going to get a chance to set next week, as I really want to take a look at Hooks and Oregon State is 1-9 so maybe a week off before Senior Night against the Huskies will be the wake up call he needs. But the Dude is a Gun Slinger. He makes mistakes but also plays so well at times too.

I sat down with both Tua and Cam this week and shared with them my intentions of having Cam get the start against the Beavers as I feel like it would be a great chance not only for us to see him in a full game as we game plan for next season but also because I want to do right by Cam and give him a chance to show NFL scouts what he has to offer..
