BC’s BEST CHANCE TO WIN
BC’s taking on one of the best QB’s in the nation in Brett Rypien and one of the best programs of the last decade in Boise State. Yeah it’s not Chris Petersen’s Boise, but BC is still facing one hell of a team here. Rypien will keep Hamp Cheevers and the secondary busy all day, while Alexand Mattison (who’s rushed for over 1400 yards and 17 touchdowns this year) will keep Zach Allen and the front seven’s hands full.
Boise State averages 35 points per game, so a hopefully healthy AJ Dillon keeping them off the field is going to be absolutely essential; DIllon says he feels like his week four self. I certainly hope he’s telling the truth.
Drink of the Week
Eggnog. Christmas is over and you might have some left in the fridge you need to kill. If not, it’ll be on sale at the store. Depending on how the game goes, you might need to switch to the heavily alcoholic kind, but start with the non-alcoholic stuff for now.
