[NU Sports] Boise State

[Mike Nolan]

Too bad Boise State didn't have a bowl opponent worthy of them last night,
like Michigan.  

The game was Arizona State's season in a nutshell.

Boise State returns the opening kickoff 100 yards for a TD.  ASU is down by 21 
quickly, they have no ground game, and their QB is inconsistent.

When ASU returned the second half kickoff for a TD, down 28-3, it looked like 
they might get back into the game.  A failed on-sides kick was followed by
a Boise State turnover that resulted in a failed 4th down conversion for ASU.

Boise State turns the ball over AGAIN, ASU drives to the 1.  Dennis Erickson
is desperately trying to get an official's attention to call time out before
the next play, which results in an interception in the end zone returned
for a TD.  ASU couldn't recover from that 14 point swing.
