What they say: Boise State prepares for UTM

Editor’s Note: This story originally ran in The Arbiter, Boise State’s independent student newspaper.

 

The Broncos will take on the Skyhawks of UTM this Saturday for their home opener for the 2013 season.

Coming off the worst loss in the Chris Petersen era, and the worst loss since a 48-13 beating at Georgia in 2005, the Broncos are going back to the drawing to work out the kinks.

The Broncos picked up just 346 total yards against the Huskies and failed to score an offensive touchdown for the third time in two seasons under second year offensive coordinator, Robert Prince.

Now as the Broncos return home to The Blue, they will be looking to figure out their offensive scheme against the Skyhawks to get into the win column.

“There are a thousand little details,” said Boise State head coach Chris Petersen. “That’s what this game is, a game of details.”

The Broncos will need to establish themselves downfield early on against the Skyhawks, as their longest pass against the Huskies went for just 16 yards.

The Broncos will also have to step it up on the defensive side of the ball after giving up 592 total yards of offense in Seattle. The Broncos will be heavy favorites against their FCS opponents, but the Skyhawks have upset on their minds after taking down No. 24 Chattanooga in their opening game.
