Boise State Vs. Miami (oh) Gameday Program

Miami University had a rough season opener against Kentucky (as in “42-0 rough”) and are surely looking to get some mojo on their side this weekend. Unfortunately, Boise isn’t really a good venue for that, and there is a very real possibility that the Redhawks will be held scoreless for the second straight week when things kick of at 6 PM on Saturday. Most fans, like me, know little about the Redhawks or their (surprisingly) storied institution in Oxford, Ohio. Needless to say, there is a lot to be learned about this week’s foe (don’t worry, Kellen Moore already knows their defense intimately)...so let’s all give the Redhawks a closer look through the magic of factoids and childish jokes. It’s time to get to know your enemy, Bronco Nation...so take notes.

Ten things Bronco fans probably didn’t know about Miami University 10) Miami University was founded in Oxford, Ohio in 1809 and is the 10th oldest public university in the entire United States. The university’s first president was a Scottish expat by the name of Robert Hamilton Bishop. Bishop was a Presbyterian minister and professor who envisioned Miami U as the “Yale of the West”. For all Bishop’s academic strengths, it appears that geography was not his specialty. 9) Miami University, better known as Miami of Ohio, played it’s first football game in 1888. Their first football game was also their first football season as Miami only had one game on the docket...a December tussle in Oxford against Cincinnati. The game ended in a 0-0 tie. The following year, a coachless Miami squad went 4-0 and outscored their hapless opponents 100 to 4. 8) Most folks don’t know that one of college football’s greatest coaching rivalries was born at Miami...well, sort of. Legendary Ohio State coach Woody Hayes and legendary Michigan coach Bo Schembechler both got their head coaching feet wet for the first time at Miami before moving on to their more well known institutions. Hayes holds the edge over Schembechler in win percentage (73% to 69%) whilst at Miami, though Schembechler coached 4 more seasons in Oxford. Hayes also holds the edge over Schembechler in the “punching Charlie Bauman” category with a sparkling 1-0 record. 7) Most people think that Ben Roethslisberger is the most accomplished football player to ever come out of Miami University. Those people are correct. Big Ben left Miami after just 3 years, but passed for over 10.000 yards and 80 TDs. The Roethlisberger-led 2003 squad went 13-1 and finished #10 in the AP poll (their first ranking since 1975). Their lone loss that year was to the Iowa Hawkeyes, who finished #8 in the final AP poll. Roethlisberger has won two Super Bowl rings since being drafted in 2004, but his proudest accomplishment has to be starting his own signature line of BBQ sauces. Go Redhawks!

6) Miami’s football team has only been known as the “Redhawks” since 1997. Prior to that they were known as the “Redskins”...and going even further back, the team was known as “the Big Reds”, “the Reds and Whites”, and even “the Miami Boys”. I think “the Miami Sound Machine” has a nicer ring to it...but what do I know? 5) Miami University is home to one of the first varsity synchronized skating teams in the country. Notice I said “first” denoting that more than one actually exist. Word has it the sport is kind of like hockey...except with more unitards and techno music. 4) Stout D? The Redhawks have only allowed an opponent to score in excess of 50 points 14 times since 1888. I suppose this is one advantage of playing in the MAC. FYI, Boise State has allowed the feat 16 times since 1968. Idaho? 45 times. 3) Benjamin Harrison, the 23rd president of the United States, was a Miami University grad. Harrison totally pwned incumbent Grover Cleveland in the 1888 election, but was defeated by Cleveland in 1892. During Harrison’s term in office (1889-1893), six states were admitted to the union, including Idaho. He died from influenza in 1901. Not many universities hold claim to presidential alums, but the University of Idaho comes close...Larry Craig went there. 2) One famous landmark of the Oxford campus is the Tri-Delt sundial. The dial tells the correct time 4 times a year—slightly less dependable than a broken watch, which is correct twice a day. 1) Miami’s student newspaper, The Miami Student, was founded in 1826 and claims to be the oldest university newspaper in the country. Benjamin Harrison was reportedly very good at the Jumble™, but struggled mightily at Sudoku. Dartmouth College disputes Miami’s claims of having the oldest university newspaper, claiming theirs was founded in 1799...why you always such a buzzkill, Dartmouth?

Opponent preview: How much of a difference will special teams make for Miami (Ohio)? by Kevan Lee The RedHawks gave it the old college try for about 15 minutes against Kentucky before falling under the inordinate weight of averageness and being shut out by the final score of 42-0.

“Miami suffered its most lopsided season-opening loss since a 61-0 drubbing at Pittsburgh in 1931.” Ah, the 30s. What did the RedHawks do well? They didn’t pass well, throwing for just 126 yards with two INTs. They didn’t run very well, either, averaging just 2.8 yards per rush. Defense wasn’t particularly good, allowing 488 total yards including 245 on the ground. As far as head coaching debuts go, Mike Haywood’s inaugural sideline stinker was downright Kotite-esque. Perhaps the only tidbit of note was that the RedHawks already are playing like a team with nothing to lose. They converted a fake punt and attempted a flea-flicker (arguably the turning point in the game when it was picked by the Wildcats). Up next: The backward forward pass!

You might remember Miami head coach Mike Haywood from his stint as Notre Dame’s offensive coordinator. Or you might not. Haywood had play-calling duties revoked/eaten by Charlie Weis midway through the season. All that to tell you that Haywood’s specialty is offense and that he is known to think outside the box when it comes to offensive sets. Expect the RedHawks to show a lot of multiple receiver looks and unique formations. Raudabaugh is not a runner, or at least not a particularly skilled one, but he does have some weapons at his disposal, including all four of his top returning receivers from last season.

Bostic is Miami’s best defensive player, mostly by default. The RedHawks lost their four leading tacklers from a season ago and looked defeated after falling behind to Kentucky in the second quarter.

The special teams magic in Miami’s 42-0 loss You might not be able to tell from the final score, but Miami (Ohio) did have a half-decent day on special teams. There was that fake punt conversion. Dustin Woods had a 13 yard average on punt returns. No one died. In fact, special teams was the only non-unmitigated disaster that the RedHawks put on the field. Give that special teams coach a raise!

The special teams magic of Boise State in their 19-8 win over Oregon Well, to be fair, not all of it was magic, unless you consider the strange disappearance of Kyle Brotzman’s accuracy to be magic (and when I put it that way, who wouldn’t?). Brotzman delivered a punt to the four, which resulted in a safety. Michael Choate ran in a two-point conversion. No one died. Give that special teams coach a raise! Seriously though, the Bronco special teams looked pretty amateur between its regular bouts of greatness. Remember: • Michael Choate’s fumbled two-point conversion and fumbled field goal that turned into the most intentional intentional continued on page 4

grounding penalty the world has ever seen • Brotzman doffing two field goals • Oregon kick returns that gave you that queasy feeling in your stomach There is room for improvement with the special teams unit, as there should be after one week of the season. It will be interesting to see how those improvements are made against the RedHawks.

Key matchups Kyle Wilson vs. Bad decisions by the punter Boise State’s All-American burner was largely held in check by some stellar punting from Oregon. Can Miami punter Chris DiCesare possibly do the same? Will the RedHawks even bother kicking to Wilson? DiCesare averaged a pedestrian 37 yards per kick against Kentucky. He will have to do better or have five-plus seconds of hangtime to neutralize Wilson.

Boise State’s punt coverage vs. Miami’s punt return Woods provided a bright spot for the RedHawks in the return game, although extrapolating any kind of meaningful stat from his Kentucky performance is pointless considering he only had two returns. Still, the potential is there, and Boise State will need to make sure that they keep Woods in mind on the off chance that the Broncos will even have to punt on Saturday. Also, if punting does figure prominently in the Broncos’ game plan, Brotzman showed that he can still hang them up there with the best of them and that he can do so without rolling out. His coffin corner was deadly, and his rugby kicks make grown men weep. Even if Boise State does resort to not converting third downs, they’re in good hands.

Kyle Brotzman vs. Kyle Brotzman Whatever is going on in Kyle Brotzman’s head needs to be replaced by whatever is going on in Boise-State-fan-with-a-chair’s head, which is obviously nothing, and which will obviously help Brotzman when it comes to making makeable field goals.

Blocking things vs. Returning things Both schools will have an interesting decision to make whether to go after the other team’s kicks or sit back and hope for a solid return. Obviously this debate is always at play in no matter what game you watch, but it might be even more important in Saturday’s game. Turnovers are a big equalizer when you’re working with 37-point spreads, and special teams turnovers can be especially important. If Miami steals a couple off the foot of Brotzman, Boise State will have a much harder time pulling away from the RedHawks. If the Broncos are the ones holding the block party, then this will be over faster than anyone could have expected.

What are we really talking about here? Few people outside of Graham Watson think that Miami (Ohio) has a chance on Saturday. This special teams debate is not so much a debate over the ultimate breaking point in the matchup between the Broncos and the RedHawks. If anything, it is probably the one area that Miami and Boise State are most similar. Still, that last statement needs some hedging. The only reason that special teams appears similar is because of the gap between every other comparison between the two schools. • Boise State’s offense is better than Miami’s defense by leaps and bounds. If Kentucky can roll up 42 points on the RedHawks, then Boise State can muster somewhere in the 50’s. Of course, this is all dependent on little things like center/QB exchanges going well and players showing up to play. But you get my drift. • Boise State’s defense is better than Miami’s offense by so much it is not even funny unless you find really sad comparisons to be funny. If the same unit that played against Oregon faces the same unit that played against Kentucky, the RedHawks will still be searching for their first points of the season come Saturday night. In fact, if there were a way for a team to put fewer points on the board than zero, Miami would probably find a way on Saturday. Again, this is dependent on things remaining the status quo. Special teams simply presents Miami’s best chance to make something happen. Whether that something will affect the scoreboard or the win column is anybody’s guess.

Conclusions I believe I already know the answer to this question, but I’m going to ask it anyway. How much will Miami’s special teams affect the game on Satuday? • None. Boise State will kill the RedHawks no matter how many yards Dustin Woods gets on the return. • Some. A good showing by the RedHawks on special teams could hamper Boise State’s offense, set up the RedHawks’ O in good position, and possibly lead to some easy points. • Tons. This game will be decided on the foot of Miami’s Trevor Cook. Sincerely, Trevor Cook’s parents. It’s not much of a discussion for many of you, but then again, this game isn’t much of a game as far as many Bronco fans are concerned. That’s too bad for reasons I probably did not make clear in this post. I’m really looking forward to this game. I think Miami will pose an interesting opponent for the Broncos thanks to the varied offensive looks and throw-caution-to-the-wind game management. I’m particularly interested in special teams, both to see how Boise State bounces back and to see if Miami can swing some points in its favor through the kicking game. What factors are you most looking forward to when it comes to Miami? Something? Anything? Curious how Boise State will handle red zone opportunities? Wonder if Miami will score any points?

Boise State releases depth chart vs. Miami (OH), offensive line amazingly remains intact The Boise State depth chart for the Miami (OH) game looks very similar to the Boise State starting lineup for the Oregon game. Hooray! Among the minor changes, J.C. Percy gets a promotion, Austin Pettis gets to hold things, and Jerrell Gavins makes the first of many appearances.

Disclaimer: Depth charts mean as much as you want them to mean. Keep in mind that things change over the course of a game week and that game situations, injuries, and performance will render some of this depth chart moot. Still, it’s fun to speculate ...with hyperbole! OMG Michael Choate must be the sickest man in America! continued on page 6

J.C. Percy made quite the impact As Drew pointed out in his Oregon recap, the Boise State linebacker situation is not the two-man affair that it was made out to be. Everyone gets playing time, apparently, which is great news for everyone who bought a Hunter White jersey in the offseason. Perhaps one of the reasons for this change of mind on the Bronco coaching staff is that there are simply too many good-to-great linebackers at Boise State to make them ride the pine. This week’s case study: J.C. Percy, the freshman phenom who lost out to Aaron Tevis in the fall LB derby only to see significant playing time and make significant plays versus Oregon. Percy is listed as the yin to Tevis’ yang at WILL linebacker this week, co-starters as suggested by the operable OR.

Idaho Statesman

What exactly did Percy do to shoot up the depth chart from backup to quasi-starter? Well, for one, he forced a very important turnover when he stripped Jeremiah Masoli of the ball at the start of the fourth quarter. Linebackers coach Jeff Choate was so happy he could’ve eaten J.C. Percy whole. Exhibit A:

off Masoli for Boise State’s first forced turnover. He also had a tackle for loss. Many find Tevis to be the second-coming of Colt Brooks, but this depth chart drop marks the second time in two seasons that the OLB has failed to really hold onto that starting role. Quick: With the game on the line and Boise State needing a defensive stop, who would you rather have in the game? Aaron Tevis or J.C. Percy?

The first Kyle Brotzman domino has fallen For those of you expecting Brotzman to be OR’ed with Jimmy Pavel on the depth chart, not so fast. It will take many more missed 28-yarders for that to happen. Brotzman’s miscues were the most noticeable part of a Jekyll-andHyde special teams performance for the Broncos. Someone’s head had to roll. Michael Choate, the tribe has spoken. Choate was replaced on the depth chart with Austin Pettis, which probably immediately makes you picture Pettis making all sorts of plays in the two-point conversion game. Well, you’re right. That part of the Broncos’ special teams is sure to get a boost, and I am slightly agog over the possibilities. But Pettis’ ascension to starting holder (now there’s something to write home about) was more likely the result of Choate’s failed hold on the FG Attempt of Which We Do Not Speak. Bumbling the snap, bumbling the “Fire!” call, and bumbling an attempted pass probably did Choate in. The sure hands of Austin Pettis may have been all it took to right that wrong. We’ll see. In the meantime, Pettis passes to himself for two!

An offensive line for the ages The offensive line will remain the same from the Oregon game. Excuse me while I call 2008 to gloat.

Jamar Taylor gives way to Jerrell Gavins Taylor’s injury has opened the door for Gavins to see some PT this week as Brandyn Thompson’s backup. Gavins could very well be better than many of the cornerbacks Miami (OH) faces all MAC season. Poor QB Daniel Raudabaugh. He has no idea what he’s getting himself into.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it Om nom nom...

In addition to giving Choate a slight case of asphyxiation, Percy also finished second on the team with four tackles - not bad considering that Oregon was able to get out of the backfield on only ten or twelve occasions all game. On the flip side, what exactly did Tevis do poorly to deserve a quasi-demotion? You might recall that Tevis was the one who picked

Boise State’s depth chart remained largely in tact for the Oregon game. And for good reason. Those Bronco interns don’t have time to update depth charts when they are so super busy finding marketing uses for 30,000 Ducks Do Crash on the Blue t-shirts. The depth chart really is a testament to the quality of play the Broncos showed against the Ducks. Keep on, keeping on, Broncos. I’ll find meaningless roster minutiae to obsess over one way or another.
