The last time Boise State played an SEC school, they lost by 35.

It's been just long enough ago that Crash is starting to get yippy again. But don't just take my word for it:

""This is a grown man's league..."

It's not often that former rival coaches agree on much, but Gene Stallings and Pat Dye have a consensus when it comes to their feelings on the Boise State football team's chances of competing in the Southeastern Conference.

Sharing his thoughts on the Paul Finebaum radio show prior to the Broncos' Monday night victory over Virginia Tech, former Alabama head coach Gene Stallings was asked to predict the number of victories Boise could rack up in an 8 game SEC schedule:

"I think they'd win about 3 maybe."

"This is a grown man's league and I think they'd have a hard time week after week."

If it would be that much of a cake walk...why not schedule them then? - Jim Oct 11, 13:15 6
- Say what you will about Pete Carroll that is one this that I truly admired. He scheduled the hardest games he could find. - musubi Oct 11, 13:27 2
  - well of course he did, he ran a good program - not one that hides behind its own conference and preying upon the Big 10 -- nm - crash davis Oct 11, 13:30 1
    - No, we just preyed on the Big 10 in The Rose Bowl. (nm) - musubi Oct 11, 13:33
- That's right. 35 points. - David Oct 11, 13:19 2
  - the same margin that Oregon beat an SEC school by this year -- nm - crash davis Oct 11, 13:23 1
    - One that recently had 6 true freshmen on the field on the same play, yes. - David Oct 11, 13:24
