Boise State acquitted itself well. Fun game. Competitive until late. More than 400 yards, outgained PSU, nearly the same ypp.

Both teams made killer mistakes. If Boise finishes a few drives, they'd have been right in it. Deserved to be here.

Penn State is better than Boise State. But this was a better game than the final score will reflect.

Don't give Jeanty too many carries. Cowboys need him to have fresh legs next year.

Boise State has three drives in which it got inside Penn State's 30-yard line and came away with zero points.

They're down by 10. It was there to be had. Couldn't finish.

So, to recap:

The three programs that ESPN campaigned to put into the playoff over Indiana lost to Michigan, Iowa State and Illinois.

Seriously, what do you think was going through Josh Allen’s mind as these dorks walk by with a boombox blasting Gangsta’s Paradise on their way to the field?

I can’t get it out of my head 🤣🤣

Okay this is funny.
Penn State's strategy is asking the question, "What if Kirk Ferentz had an overwhelming talent advantage?"

That’s Mr. Tyler Crowe sir.
The fullback came to the bench and headbutted a player who had a helmet on, when he had no helmet.

God bless fullbacks

Watch the replay. The reason the Boise State defender fell was his heel hit the Penn State receiver in the nuts. There really wasn't a push

Favorite part of wrapping up the Boise State pregame show today was when all of us said to each other “see you next week“

Reminder for the quarterfinals, B1G champ is locked into the Rose Bowl, SEC champ to the Sugar. Boise is all but locked into the Fiesta... unless Arizona State and Clemson both win tomorrow.

Boise State is going to the CFP.
What a season for Jeanty and the Broncos.

For your Heisman consideration:

Ashton Jeanty is up to 2,497 rushing yards, 30 total TDs and 7.25 yards per carry.

He's 131 away from Barry Sanders' single-season official record (353 from unofficial record).

12-1, MW champ, CFP appearance, possible first-round bye, backflip
