The challenges would be similar to what BYU faces: The Cougars — which won the national championship in while playing in the WAC — have been trying to get the attention of the Power 5 since leaving the Mountain West after the season. BYU is with one win season since. And, no matter how difficult the Cougars' schedule is, they have not received that attention. Boise State doesn't have quite the same brand power as BYU, either.
What Power 5 program is going to travel to Idaho in November in the middle of the Playoff race? Scheduling could be more difficult than it seems. MORE: Composite top preseason rankings for season.
This would be the jackpot for Boise State — if there was another round of expansion in the Pac The Broncos could compete in the North Division, where they would be a geographical fit and boast similar attendance ratings to Oregon State and Washington State.
The Broncos have a familiarity with those schools. Boise State is all-time against Pac teams as a Division I program and would have a natural rivalry with South Division team Utah, which went from the Mountain West to the Pac Gene Bleymaier, the athletic director who came up with the idea of a blue football field, said he knew it would set Boise State apart, but he had no idea just how big of a deal the colored field would become when it was installed in Why not do it in our school colors?
Bleymaier said he checked with the manufacturer, AstroTurf, to make sure it was possible to get a blue field. So why not have a blue field, which is one of our colors, and try to create a home-field advantage? Not all the attention was good. People called it the "Smurf turf," in reference to the blue cartoon characters. Others were convinced ducks and geese would mistake the field for a lake and be injured or killed trying to dive in. Each week, the team comes up with a list of goals that puts in the pail.
The defensive player of the game is responsible for the lunch pail the following week. Carrying the pail is an honor. It is the player's responsibility to take it to practice each day and to all of the defensive meetings. College kids respond to this sort of thing. Visuals and props are positive reinforcement, and tangible motivational things that players can strive toward.
One of the more clever ones has to be Kennesaw State , which has a turnover Why aren't we all discussing kennesawstfb turnover plank? The turnover trashcan makes an appearance! While Temple coach Geoff Collins was at Florida , the Gators had a white board on the sideline that players would sign their names on after they got a takeaway.
Solid game plan for Florida's defense. UFvsSC pic. You are aware of P. The Broncos run a hook-n-lateral, wide receiver option and -- to win the game, in overtime -- Statue of Liberty. Michigan-Oregon, Call it doubling down on the Statue of Liberty. The Ducks run it once to Jonathan Stewart to pick up a first down LSU-South Carolina, Les Miles, ever the gambler, calls a fake yard field goal in which holder Matt Flynn flips the ball over his head to streaking kicker Colt David, who runs it in for the score.
Nebraska-Oklahoma, A handoff, a pitch, a pass back to Cornhuskers' quarterback Eric Crouch for a yard touchdown. Oregon-Oregon State, The Beavers run a reverse pitch to James Newsom on a first-and from the 18 and wind up nearly getting a safety. Petersen spent much of last season trying to persuade everybody to forget some of the most memorable college football plays of recent years. He said it's finally getting to the point where people on the street talk about something other than the Statue of Liberty play that beat the Sooners in -- or the 4th-down hook-n-lateral and halfback pass plays that came before it.
It's a new team, tremendously new and different team. Bellotti and offensive coordinator Chip Kelly are no strangers to unpredictable playcalling. The Ducks' Statue of Liberty plays last season at Michigan were perhaps the closest anybody has come to the kind of big-stage trickery the Broncos executed. Kelly said he has studied plenty of Boise State video, especially when Dan Hawkins was head coach and Petersen his offensive coordinator from to
