Was a game that we got our money's worth. Arizona played better today than they did against Oregon...maybe that was because of Oregon, but I don't think so. As far as the QB not throwing it away on the last play is not the QB's fault. That is up to a coach to tell him what to do on each play. You can not expect a young player like that to remember everything in the heart of the game. Poor coaching at that point.
Boise did well. I take nothing away from them. 2nd half harder to watch than the first, but they ran with the big boys and did a good job. Their Fiesta Bowl shows are two for two and both, very entertaining.

It never makes sense when the OC's seem to be in a panic because they didn't expect themselves to be in this position.
That was exactly what it was. The Arizona coaches were more spectator than coach at the end. When you have a young QB you have to have his full attention.
Great game by the Bronco's. I picked Arizona, but I rooted for Boise State the hole game. That has been a problem for me this whole bowl season. I keep rooting against my picks.

Re: Fiesta ....
Congrats Donivan. Good win and entertaining game.
Coach was screaming from the sideline throw the ball...over and over during that play. I would bet he told the QB to throw it away if nothing was there...just don't get tackled. That was a jr high mistake.

Boise State has done well. Do I think they could play a PAC 12 schedule and be in the hunt. No, I don't and I do not think it would be good for the program. Boise State is not a PAC 12 university. Good programs, good education and many innovative programs, but it is not a Major university. That is neither good nor bad, just how it is....and if it were not for the Boise States, millions would not get an education.
Do I think under this system Boise should have got a bowl...no...I think throwing that bone to the minor conferences is only politically motivated. Mr. Billybud is right, get the top 60-75 teams and let the others start their own traditions. My feeling is they would last longer than what the majors have now. I digress.
Boise State did not show up the second half but Arizona was to far in the hole. If you are Coach Bryan Harsin, you stock just skyrocketed. He's going nowhere, right now.

That's about as poignant as a post can get Sir.
They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.
The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.
See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.
