Looking at the lines, it’s interesting to see the Bronco line come down, now less than a touchdown. It’s clear that this game against USF won’t be a cakewalk for Boise State as they travel to the other side of the country and go up against one of the fastest tempo teams in the country last season. The Cowboys being favored more or less by a touchdown against Akron is intriguing and it will be worth watching if their offseason is at all improved. Lastly, the Aztecs should stomp Stony Brook, as the line indicates.
Game Previews:
- Boise State:
- Wyoming:
- San Diego State:
What to Watch For:
- Boise State: Will the Broncos feature a more balanced offense or still lean on the running game? Will the secondary become competent this season?
- Wyoming: Will they finally have some semblance of a passing game? Can their defense return to form?
- San Diego State: Can they plast Aztec FAST in Year 2? Will the defensive star power rise to the occasion?
