<h2>
Boise State at Troy State Game Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
<b>Boise State Broncos </b>
</p>
<p>
Coach Bryan Harsin gets back 10 defensive starters that empowered the Broncos to an 11-3 record in 2017. In addition, the focal point of BSU's offense also back in the fold with a 1,000-yard rusher in Alex Mattison and signal-caller Brett Rypien back under center. By many standards, the Broncos are the consensus favorite by many analysts to represent the Group of Five in the New Year's Six because of the firepower available at their disposal.
</p>
<p>
<b>Troy State </b>
</p>
<p>
The Trojans earned a piece of the Sun Belt Conference Championship in 2017 when they finished the season with just one loss in conference play. Troy would cap off their season with a 50-30 victory in the New Orleans Bowl against the North Texas Mean Green. The Trojans lose proficient passer Brandon Slivers but return their top-two receiving options. The meat and potatoes of the Trojans game is their defense which allowed just 18.5 point per game and 106 rushing yards per game.

<h3>
Reasons To Back Troy State<br />
</h3>
<p>
Last year’s contest was a lot closer than the score indicates, even if the difference was just a touchdown plus two-point conversion and a field goal. Boise State did not get the points it needed to cover until the last two minutes of the fourth quarter, for the other 58 minutes the Broncos had their hands full with a Troy State defense that forced two turnovers and only allowed one offensive touchdown. A series of miscues by Troy State afforded Boise State 14 points, and this will most certainly be a point of discussion for Neal Brown as his men prepare for this contest.

<h3>
Reasons To Avoid Boise State<br />
</h3>
<p>
From the perspective of Group of Five teams, the Broncos are college football royalty. After all, this is the same team that remains undefeated in BCS bowl games and authored one of the greatest upsets in college football history when they defeated Oklahoma in 2007. With all the previous accolades of this team taken into consideration, they are susceptible to impose premiums upon any takers when they are squaring off with any mid-major opponent. This is very simply the USC of mid-major football, and thus you are paying for the name more than you are perhaps quality.
