5 Bold Predictions: Boise State

FOOTBALL

Oregon is set to face off against Boise State this weekend and after last weeks performance against Idaho, many fans are worried about this game. Here are five bold predictions that I believe will happen in this game.

Evan Stewart scores his first touchdown:

Last week Stewart nearly hauled in a deep touchdown but the pass was just outside his grasp. This week, I think he's able to reel in a deep ball for a touchdown.

Oregon forces 2+ turnovers again:

Last week Oregon forced 2 turnovers and I think they will be able to do it again this week. Maddux Madsen only looked alright last week and that was against Georgia Southern. Oregon should be able to make him uncomfortable.

Oregon holds Jeanty under 100 yards:

Last week Jeanty erupted for 267 yards and 6 TDs. He is no doubt an elite player but Oregon's defense is also really good. Unless Madsen is able to hurt Oregon vertically, Oregon should be able to load the box and stop Jeanty.

Sappington misses another field goal:

Last week Sappington missed a 52 yarder. This week I wouldn't be surprised to see him miss another. Sappington was very good last year for Oregon State but his longest field goal was 48 yards.

Kenyon Sadiq scores a touchdown:

Kenyon Sadiq saw a fair amount of playing time last week and I think Oregon will have a unique play call for him in the redzone this week. Sadiq is going to have a very nice season.

Matayo Gets 2 sacks again:

I know I said 5 bold predictions but I really have 6. Matayo looked really good last week and I think he will be able to get to the QB again this week. If Oregon limits Jeanty like I think they will, Matayo and the other pass rushers will get to eat.
