ATLANTA (AP) – Boise State came into SEC country with its new coach and new orange helmets looking to make a statement: Even though the BCS is gone, the Broncos can still bust the big boys.
Instead, the Bryan Harsin era started at Boise State much the same way Chris Petersen’s tenure ended – with a loss to one of those power conference teams the Broncos so routinely used to beat.
You could say that decisive loss to Oregon State at the Hawaii Bowl last December, just weeks after Petersen had left to take the Washington job, marked the end of an era for Boise State.
If there were any doubts, the Broncos’ 35-13 loss to No. 18 Mississippi on Thursday night most certainly wiped them away.
