PSU has no offense but their roided up D won't let anyone score unless its a real good team.
A 21-10ish game that never feels all that close seems like the best-case scenario. I can't imagine Boise State can come close to matching Penn State in the trenches. A blowout wouldn't surprise me one bit, as I suspect Boise State will be like the 2018 Pitt team in that they can run all over plenty of mid teams but they struggle to do much of anything against a team laden with 4/5-star talent on defense.
Boise St. has one of the worse rush defenses in the country. This game shouldn't be close unless Franklin tries to get cute and have Allar throw 30 times or do too many trick plays with Warren (a distinct possibility). Run every play with their RB's and they win going away.
Yeah, I could see them just pounding it, wearing Boise down, shortening the game, and getting out of there while minimizing both injuries and what they're putting on tape. That's the only thing that would scare me off the 11.5 points. It could have some ND/Indiana vibes where is feels like an ass-kicking but the final score isn't that bad.
Stats on Covers.com shows Boise #23 in rush def. PSU #19 rush off. Boise #5 in rush off, PSU #9 rush def. So, PSU shouldn’t have a free rein on the ground. Boise is playing disrespect card, which can be a good motivator, even though they may have a talent disadvantage.
