With the opening weekend of the season in the bag we were treated a glimpse of what seven months of offseason preparations have done for many of the teams. We learned Texas Christian may not be the defensive powerhouse it has been in the past by allowing Baylor to put up 50 points in the Horned Frogs' loss. We learned that the national champion Auburn Tigers are looking very un-champion-like as they barely avoided the upset by Utah State.

For Boise State, we just confirmed what many of us already knew: Boise State can still win. Though TCU fell in its opening week there are still some trap games on Boise State's schedule. Like last year's Nevada, Air Force and San Diego State both pose an upset threat.

To return to a BCS bowl the Broncos must be perfect and that is tough in any conference. Though Boise came away with the win, let's grade the performance and look at the ways it can improve to stay successful through the rest of its season.
