The Secret of Boise State's Offensive Success and Prowess?

I may have found it! Actually, it is just a breakdown of what the Broncos do on offense that makes them so potent and basically unstoppable. This article is from a website called "Smart Football." It was written by Mike Kuchar on behalf of one of the site's writers named Mike Brown. Go ahead and read it. It's quite long, but goes into great detail on the ins and outs, nuances, and actions of the Boise State offense led by Kellen Moore.

Kuchar wrote "Breaking down Boise: How the Broncos use leverage, numbers and grass to gash the opposition" from the viewpoint, vision, and mind frame of a defensive coordinator, as he is one for a high school in New Jersey. It was part of Virginia Tech's effort to break down game tape and find a way to slow down the Broncos. Obviously, this all happened during the summer before the two teams faced off on Labor Day in Washington, D.C. The article has diagrams, analysis, intense explanations on what the Hokies need to do to win the game, as well as a sweet picture of the mastermind of it all, Coach Chris Petersen. My favorite is the last part of the piece where Kuchar labels "Die Slowly" as a key to the game. Good times...

Basically what it says is that the Broncos use a lot of motion, leverage, and options to gain advantages on the opposing defense. Whatever the other team shows, Boise State has an option or a play to counteract it. The key, says Kuchar, is a smart quarterback that makes good decisions. Well that I Kellen Moore in a nutshell. He has been the key factor for the Broncos since he took his first snap as a freshman. He has set a precedent for a potent offense that Southwick, Hedrick, and whoever else starts as quarterback for Boise State will have to follow. The best part is that even though Kellen has set the bar so high, he has done it in a way that will help make his heir successful. You can never go wrong by winning.
