Poinsettia Bowl: NIU vs Boise State Predictions
Should be a good game I think. But NIU's lack of experience/leadership at the QB position will certainly show against a tested team like Boise State. If Graham comes out and plays with out too many nerves I could be wrong here, but we just can't afford too many three and outs. I'm taking Boise State by a TD and a late game-sealing FG.

This bowl win would easily be the 2nd-best (potential) win in NIU history if it were to happen (Orange Bowl).


This is gonna be bad, IMO. Our only hope is that BSU falls into that category of NCAA teams that is disappointed in their season and their bowl bid, so they essentially quit before it starts. That happens at least 5-6 times each bowl season. If that happens, NIU could win.


BSU - 27

No it wouldn't. Beating Bowling Green to go to a second consecutive BCS bowl would have been much bigger. Beating the number one team in the nation on the road would have been much bigger. Beating Marshall last season would have been bigger.

I'm a fan of what Boise has accomplished over the last decade or so, but this wasn't a great year for their program or ours. When we beat them, I won't chalk it up as some historic victory.

I was reading the thread...and, well...we have a much better chance with the BSU I am more familiar with.

Boise State 24, Northern Illinois 23. I don't trust this BSU team...we've looked unmotivated every game since the USU debacle. Rumor is BSU hasn't had a single full-contact practice since the SJSU game. Expect the Broncos to once again look sloppy early on. Late FG gives the Broncos the victory.
