Boise St. is obviously not what they were under the Petersen era. As ugly as that game was, it's a good thing for OM to know they can play poorly on offense through 3 quarters and still come out on top by close to 3 TDs. Plus the defense looked great.
People make WAY too much of first games. I'm not saying OM is going to set the world on fire, and anybody with half a brain knows that we have absolutely no idea what any team is capable of after 1 performance. Same thing with ATM and USCe. These games are played with no chance to see how their guys are in a game situation minus a spring scrimmage against their own team. So to answer the original post, maybe. But maybe not.

I'm more than satisfied with our defense. Bo's first half performance speaks for itself. I don't know if Boise's affected our Oline as much as the coaches said it did, but overall I left satisfied. After watching Vandy last night it looks as if we'll have 3 weeks to get it straight before college game day comes to the grove against Bama

This. +1.
It's one game - fans love to make brash overreactions to a singular event.
And everyone saying Boise is "bad"... pls. They had some legit athletes, a NFL RB, and a physical front seven. Their offense just couldn't handle our speed and physicality.
We will play worse teams than Boise this year (Vandy, UT, ULL, Memphis, Presbyterian).
