Bring Andy home

If there is one bit of wisdom I gleaned from the beautiful arthouse masterpiece Happy Gilmore, it’s that one should go to their home (unless, of course, they think they are too good for said home). While Corona, California may be Andy Avalos’s hometown, I’d say Boise State is somewhat of a spiritual home for the young Oregon defensive coordinator. Avalos came to Boise as a fresh-faced teen in 2001 and left one of the biggest defensive stars in school history...then it wasn’t long until gravity pulled Avalos back to the site of some of his biggest triumphs and he became Boise State’s defensive line coach in 2012 (after stints at Colorado, Nebraska-Kearny, and Sacramento State).
