When two Pac-12 offensive powerhouses meet, sparks are bound to fly. Boise State sits at 4-1, with its lone loss coming against an Oregon team that was #2 at the time. The catch? The Ducks only managed to beat the Broncos by a touchdown. Boise State is a serious team, and a seriously good one at that. The Broncos have been one of the most productive offenses in the conference, scoring 172 total points while averaging 34.4 points per game. Their balanced attack has generated 22 offensive touchdowns and an impressive 6.3 yards per play. Fresno State is no slouch, either. The Bulldogs have piled up points of their own, and together, these two offenses have all the ingredients needed for an outrageous, entertaining and high-scoring affair.
Boise State has compiled 2,191 total yards of offense, including 1,133 rushing yards (226.6 per game) and 1,058 passing yards (211.6 per game). On the other side, Fresno State has been winning and piling up impressive statistics in the process. The Bulldogs are also 4-1 and sit second in the conference, trailing only, you guessed it, Boise State. When these two teams meet this weekend, it may be wise to grab your umbrella, because there's a strong chance it's raining points from start to finish.
Although Boise State may provide the lion's share of the scoring, Fresno State should show enough tenacity to answer blow-for-blow and keep the pressure on. With two explosive offenses, proven playmakers and plenty at stake in the conference race, this total feels more like a race to the 50s than a struggle to reach them. Over 48.5 points looks well within reach.
