Boise State has already sold their alotment of 17,500 tickets and are now buying through Oklahoma's ticket office. Good showing of fans that will travel so far!

Peterson has been cleared to play for Oklahoma as well.

Understand that I have seen only 2 Sooners games and Boise State highlights, but my fear is this:

Oklahoma plays too physical a game early, shuts down Boise's run game early, gets a lead then runs Petterson at Boise all day while eating clock. Blowout Oklahoma.

But if Boise can stay close or lead at the half, Oklahoma still wins by 7. Hope I'm wrong.

Boise, the end of that game I was thinking we might need to put you on 24 hour watch if Boise State lost.

What an ending. Best game I have seen in a long time.

Good for Boise Suns guy and his football team. That should tell the pollsters something.

The only bowl game worst than this matchup (and it's close) is the Orange Bowl. Louisville and Wake Forest yuck

I think we'd all better TIVO the Orange Bowl. It's gonna be a doozy! :)

You almost had it nailed skkorp..... until the ol' Hook & Ladder miracle. Then you almost had it nailed again..... until the backup QB TD pass.

I agree. Most people dont give WF a chance, but no one has all year long. This will be a good game imo.

I've heard WF has the 98th ranked offense. Unless UL lays a stinker they'll probably need to score a lot of points to keep up. But crazy things do happen.

But WF's defense is good and they never turn the ball over. I think it will be a tough task for WF but make no mistake they are a good team who have beaten 5 bowl teams this season.

I think it will be a lt closer than UL fans will care to admit.
