Welcome to THE NUCLEAR OPTION, Week 2! In lieu of attempting football during a pandemic, we’re being responsible and reliving the greatest possible season of Boise State football wins.
This week is the breakout game for that unforgettable 2006 Fiesta Team, Boise State vs Oregon State, September 7th, 2006.
The Lead-Up
You might recall that 2006 was a new coaching staff under first-time head coach Chris Petersen. There were lots of new faces on offense and defense, and Jared Zabransky hadn’t had the most stellar 2005...so, nobody quite knew what to expect.
So, while I am pretty sure I remember reading Chadd and/or Prater and/or Murph leading up to the game, the Statesman’s online archive is.
