Great write-up! Tons of info.

I liked this game earlier but wrote it off because of Boise's home record. Now you've got me looking at it again.

I agree that Oregon State is probably the better team and getting 8 points is fantastic, but I just don't know if I can get over the fact the Boise just doesn't lose at home.

[EdwardHaney]

I'll be opposite but i still say you do the best writeups on UC, gl!!
