We are a month away (actually a month and a day) from the first game of the season. It is a big one for both team (first game of the year, conference rivals, national audience, etc.). I am going to be there, and I, like the other Boiler faithful, are looking forward to the start of this season and this game.
The early lines have us around a 3 point favorite. We started off strong last year against Louisville in our first game of the year last year, even though we lost, and I think Brohm has us prepared to play again for the first game this year. We have several questions on defense of course, but I think Coach Holt will have them ready. With the experience of our QBs, which I think both will be healthy and play, and our offense will be vastly improved to be able to open up the playbook, I like our chances in the game, even though we are starting out with a strong opponent and conference rival.
With us being at home, I think we pull out a close game. I say we come out with an opening season win, 31-27.
Well, what does everyone think about us in the first game?
