Beavs win! What did Boise think about it?

I'll be posting some photos of the game and some of my thoughts, but first read some of the stories coming out of Idaho today about the game.

What they are saying in Idaho:

The Arbiter (BSU school newspaper) - Oh (and 2) no

There are a few interesting quotes at the beginning.

Here's one from 'Z' about the 4th down fade at the end of the first half:

“I thought we could get behind (cornerback Keenan Lewis) on the fade. But he made a good play. He was definitely buckling up his chin strap when the play started, so we are going to take that shot 10 out of 10 times and we are going to get that the majority of the time,” Jared Zabransky said.

The main BSU newspaper, the Idaho Statesman, gave some props to the new stadium but gets a jab at the fans:

The Idaho Statesman - Quick hits

Atmosphere

The new east side of Reser Stadium is impressive — with bleachers for the students, chairback seating for the rest of the fans, box seats, club seating and luxury suites. The expansion, which added about 8,000 seats and cost $80 million, replaced the old east stands.

Atmosphere

Rain, hail and the television broadcast resulted in large chunks of empty seats — and a disappointing, below-capacity crowd of 42,876. It's Western Oregon. You'd think they could handle a little moisture.

Check out this photo from the game. Lemma puts a major hit on BSU RB Ian Johnson.

Good quote in this one:

"You've got to give Oregon State a lot of credit," Hawkins said. "They weren't ahead until the final ticks, and you've got to give them credit for hanging in there."
