S7 Ep6: Boise State Loss and Nevada Preview

The Boise State Broncos stampeded into Paulson Stadium, putting up over 650 yards of total offense in a 56-45 win over Georgia Southern in the season opener. Matt and Cody discuss what went wrong with the Eagles defense and why they looked so inept, especially rush defense. The guys also preview a Nevada team that will provide a big test on the road and critique the Georgia Southern fan base, specifically those still living in the 80s and 90s eras of Eagles football.
