Misery Index · Euphoric · ▼ from 69
The bigger Bronco ate the smaller Bronco, and Boise State's room finally exhaled after last week's bruise.
What happened
A week after the misery index sat in the 60s, Boise State went to Kalamazoo and solved the Bronco-on-Bronco identity crisis 32-7, pushing the record to 3-1. The turning point was the trip itself: a road game against a mirror-image mascot that could have been a trap, and instead was a formality. As one fan put it, "The bigger Bronco simply swallowed the smaller Bronco." Another settled the mascot debate outright. Nothing heals a fanbase like beating a slightly smaller version of itself.

“That game went about as well as you could’ve hoped, I predicted a one or two touchdown win but that was incredible outside of a few meaningless nitpicks that we’re all already aware of.”
