[u/ID_Poobaru]

Almost had us in the first half

21 unanswered points is such a good bounce back

[u/DubiousAdviceGiver → u/ID_Poobaru]

I guess we’re a second half team now? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[u/El_Serpiente_Roja]

That Boise Oregon State game is actually about to be fire

[u/Reasonable_Cod_487 → u/El_Serpiente_Roja]

Ticket prices are insane for that game.

[u/HawkeyeTen → u/El_Serpiente_Roja]

I remember watching the Broncos-Beavers game back in 2010, when Gameday was in town and Saturday Night Football was sent to cover it, with Brent Musburger on the call. Amazing to see them meet in another huge showdown years later. Here's hoping this BSU-OSU battle is even better.

[u/SSJEv]

I hope in the future these games can be competitive. Would be a great regional rivalry.

Since BYU wimped out of our home and home, I’d love to see the Snake River Shootout become a thing.

"was tied at the end of the 3rd quarter against a ranked opponent", hang the banner

[u/FellKnight]

Anyone else get 2017 flashbacks after going up 31-10 @Wazzu late in the 4th Q?

Just me?

Okay.

GG Wazzu

[u/No_Fact_499]

I’m tired boss…

[u/AbCd-EfG]

Even with as fun as the Beavers have been this year Boise State is still the class of the G6 and it should be assumed that they’ll be the playoff representative until they’ve lost another game.

[u/-Gnostic28]

29 straight years of bowl eligibility baby

Gg to washington state, you’ve got a lot of promise, quarterback has potential and your defense kept our running game contained for a lot of this game

Our defense showed genuine improvement, the guys up front got pressure and we tackled much better. We’ll see what happens against a better offense in texas state next week but this was a fantastic start

I really hope we wear our halloween uniforms for next week, I want to see that sick black helmet with the orange bronco logo

[u/Pandemic_Academic → u/-Gnostic28]

I never want to hear any Boise State fans ever complain about enduring through tough seasons. A tough year for Boise is when they finish 7-5.

[u/palonious]

I've seen worse. But I also see some light at the end of a long...long.....long tunnel.

Would have love a 4th quarter point or two. Something that makes use look competent in the second half. Boise adjusted and showed they are the better coached and better manned team.

Wazzu came out thinking doing the same thing they did in the first half would work.

Kirby's young, and sadly this season is his FAFO time. Hopefully he and the rest of this team can find out fast.

Good game, BSU. Hope the Snake River Rivalry can be something worth talking about and not dreading, but damn you guys are a solid team.

Go Cougs, Go Broncs, Make the PAC12 proud.

[u/Valuable_Agent_221]

Well, first of all, thank you Jesus. I only tuned in the second half. I shouldn’t watch the first half.

[u/UnsealedMTG]

I'm not sure I ever actually watched one of Danielson's field interviews beyond the inevitable first line, and I think I actually respect his commitment to speaking entirely in coach proverbs in a way that almost becomes its own separate language

Also said it in the game thread but this was NOT BSU's first win in Pullman, since they beat U of I there twice in 1999 and 2001 when U of I was using it as their home field due to the Kibbie Dome being too small for Division I-A.

[u/DubiousAdviceGiver]

Dylan Riley waking up and choosing violence as usual.

[u/QuitWhinging]

The world needs a Mike Leach right now.

[u/Cmp_]

Dylan Riley is inevitable. Some questionable play in the first half but downright domination in the home stretch.

First win against Wazzu in the Palouse, fucking finally!

[u/Chris_Crossfit]

First half had me stressed. Second was much better. Wazzu, you guys will be decent next year if you can improve your lines, and keep your young QB.

So glad we get to play you and OSU each year now, the new PAC is ganna be fun!

[u/bretticus733]

It wasn't pretty but it's better than a loss. Defense really stepped up (and I guess the question of "was the Wazzu offensive improvement genuine or a garbage time mirage" was answered today) and Riley got the explosives when we needed them.

Still atop the Pac-12, still atop the G6, and bowl-eligible for the 29th straight season (only Georgia has a longer streak)

[u/docchrizly]

New Achievement unlocked: W @Pullman!

[u/Itchy-Advantage-4010]

I like Kirby. Cougs will get it together over time.

Boise is damn good.

[u/Agnk1765342]

Our 4 minute offense is a thing of beauty. I love being able to run in straight up the middle every play when up late and still be able to pick up first downs.

[u/Flimflam-flimFlam]

Gotta say their triple check to get in for alcohol didn’t work. They should add more when going into the stands and have mandatory strip searches with colorectal examination.

Surely then, they will eliminate the fireball shots making it in
