A matter of opinion

So I, along with many other BSU fans, are done with the Blount punch. It's over. Now after the dust has settled I find myself extremely disgusted with sports analysts. They are overpaid "experts" who supplement the sports media outlets with contrite opinions that are gobbled up by the masses.
To get to my point I was sickened by the overshadow of the punch when there was actually a hard fought game on the field that got NO coverage other than the regurgitation of "what a horrible game that was to watch." I will agree to an extent. They are correct in their synopsis that it was indeed a horrible game to watch given the following conditions:

The "experts" told everyone in the country this was a must see game because both teams have such dynamic offenses.

The "experts" told us the first quarter was going to be a high flying extravaganza of quarterback VS. quarterback.

The "experts" think their opinion is right and if something else happens than it had to be due to horrible team play.

Well, here is why I am so ticked off right now. If you get past all of the hype and take the "experts" opinions out of the picture and take another look at the game, it was by my accounts a pretty good game. Here is why:

BSU's defense should come out of this weekend with one of the best ratings the program has ever seen. Watching the game from a defensive perspective it was AMAZING!

The offense suffered two major blows that ruined it for the Boncos as far as getting any respect for the "experts": two great series that ended with blown field goals and a couple of late game turnovers. Removing those two factors from the rest of the offensive game that was played they were playing like a top 15 team on the premier of their season. Do you think USC would get the same criticism if they blew a couple of field goals against San Jose? Of course not, they scheduled a gimme game to work out the kinks. So for Boise and Oregon to put themselves out there on opening night says an awful lot about both programs.

Finally look at this one number; 42:32. Out of 60 minutes, BSU had the ball for 42 minutes and change. You can win just about any game you enter with that kind of number. Talk about controlling the game. I believe that the analysts are all disgusted with the game because THEY WERE WRONG IN THIER PRE-GAME ALALYSIS!! Nice job Broncos and Coach Pete, in my modest opinion (not an experts) you played a game worthy of a "W" in the win column.
