Looking into Week 2 with a pre-snap read:Boise State's meltdownCan't imagine a more impre sive Week 1 win than .The last time the Broncos were that outcla sed, Dan Hawkins was taking a young team with a first-year starter at quarterback into Sanford Stadium and getting drilled by Georgia. That was 2005.This is now: Boise State is a completely different offense than it was under former QB Kellen Moore because Boise State really is completely different. If that sounds odd, consider this: all that misdirection and power running and play action throwing is gone.Coach Chris Petersen changed the offense this offseason and went with a Trey Mancini Jersey Pistol-based formation that all but eliminated what the Broncos did best for so long. It doesn't help that QB Joe Southwick isn't nearly as efficient as Moore, but Petersen and offensive coordinator Robert Prince didn't help much with a new system that makes Boise State more vulnerable to Dylan Bundy Jersey BCS schools.Boise State was never blowing people off the ball, and they're not going to do it with this offense. If anything, this eliminates the one advantage the Broncos had over more talented BCS schools (element of better coaching, better plays, better execution) and leaves the team trying to line up and physically beat the BCS big boys.That's not happening with this offense and this current roster. Not only that, the Mountain West race suddenly got a whole lot more interesting.MORE: | Delayed opening actWe've got a pretty good idea of the nation's elite and where they stand in a rough draft pecking order. Everyone, that is, but Stanford.The Cardinal had a bye week and begin the season Saturday against a solid San Jose State team. Every coach will tell you the most significant jump in play for a quarterback comes from their first season as a starter to their second.That leaves us with the first test for sophomore Kevin Hogan, whose play in the second half of last season was the reason Stanford won the Pac-12 and Rose Caleb Joseph Jersey Bowl. If he becomes the player coach David Shaw believes he can be, the Cardinal can beat anyone in the country.What now, Georgia?Aaron Murray is now 1-6 vs. teams ranked in the top 10 and gets another chance to improve that number this week when Georgia plays host South Carolina.But here's the problem: that experienced Georgia offensive line that was supposed Baltimore Orioles Jersey to allow Murray to have another big season got exposed by a Clemson front seven that isn't full of elite players. So what happens now when South Carolina and one of the best pa s rush front sevens in the game shows up in Athens?You beat South Carolina the same way Georgia could have beaten Clemson, by lining up and running the ball right at a defense based on rushing the pa ser. Georgia ran its bread and butter play -- the to s isolation -- twice against Clemson and got 102 yards and a touchdown.Sometimes coaches overthink the obvious. You've got the best running back in college football (Todd Gurley), Georgia. Use him.HAYES: What looked good in Week 1:-- Oklahoma defense (shut out giant killer Louisiana-Monroe, giving up 166 total yards).-- Florida DE Dominique Easley (playing in more comfortable and destructive position instead of inside at tackle.-- Clemson tailback Rod McDowell (132 yards rushing vs. Georgia)MORE: | What needs work in Week 2:-- Ohio State's killer instinct.-- The Nebraska defense (youre going to need all of Taylor Martinez this fall, Blackshirts).-- Alabama offensive line: Everyone is bringing it every game, Frank Robinson Jersey fellas. Better get used to it.
