On a side note, I wouldn't be shocked if one of those athletes already hit.
 
Pretty bored at work got some articles about the game this weekend:

Spoiler [+]
The blue turf is always a story. It's, er, different. But how muchwould anyone care if Boise State hadn't won 56 consecutiveregular-season games on it? "College GameDay" wouldn't be setting upshop in front of Bronco Stadium on Saturday unless the team that playson so-called Smurf Turf was really, really good. As in No. 3 in thenation and might play for the national title good.

A homefield advantage? Absolutely. Bronco Stadium ain't big --capacity is officially 33,500 -- but it's darn loud. Still, Boise Statebeat Oklahoma in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl on green turf, and it beat TCU inthe Fiesta Bowl last January on green turf, and the Broncos got thesame positive result a few weeks back against Virginia Tech on greenturf. Those last two victories were part of a 16-game winning streak,nine of which came on boring, ole green grass.

The turf is blue, but the team is what leaves nearly every opponent green with envy. Or is it seeing red?

"They'redarn good," said Oregon State coach Mike Riley, whose 24th-ranked squadwill try to end the Broncos home winning streak on Saturday. "They'vegot good players and they are extremely well coached. That's thebiggest factor."

Nonetheless, Oregon State this week went to great lengths to giveits players a feel for seeing blue underfoot. The school painted apractice field "reflex" blue and then dressed its scout team in thesame color.

Riley said the decision was based as much on "fun" as strategy. Andthe Beavers' players don't seem to be too taken by the notion of ablue-turf mystique.

"The turf is blue and their jerseys are blue, but there’s 11 guysover there," linebacker Dwight Roberson said. "I don’t feel like theblue turf has to do with anything. It’s a field; you play football onit. For me, it’s nothing different than playing any other footballgame.

Also, how are Brandon McGee and Dyron Dye looking?


We play nickel more because we only have 2 good LBs but RS claims it's to get more speed on the field. Only when we're in the base 4-3 will you see Harris on the outside. When we go to nickel he slides to the inside.
So are y'all rolling Ray-Ray down to play in the box?
McGee got a lot of PT against Ohio St and I didn't hear his name calledmuch so that means he played pretty well. Dye only played against FAMUbut he might get some PT tonight.

Quay Barnes from Apopka High is serious. I'm watching my old team on ESPN 2. On a side note Jacory is looking iffy right now. Bridgewater could be the solution.

I wanna see what Ryan and those WR's will be able to do this saturday against that D.

I honestly think we won't have too much of a problem vs Bama's D (in the air). We've been running more of a vanilla offense compared to last season, ready to see him Petrino open it up a bit more, which I'm sure he'll do. We match up better this year vs last year's game.

It's going to be a hard fought game,ill be front and center for this one though
