Here's the link to the report (yet again, the report is too long to post in the forum):

Here's the report conclusion:
The 2012 Boise State team is VERY different than prior Boise State teams. The 2012 Boise State has less experience, depth, size, and talent than the prior highly successful Boise State teams. The 2012 Boise State team is a solid team, but is simply not a legitimate contender for the National Championship. Conversely, the 2012 Michigan State team is a legitimate contender for the National Championship. The 2012 Michigan State defense is a national superpower. The 2012 Michigan State team is simply better than the 2012 Boise State team.
This game is likely to be a very low scoring game and Michigan State should easily win. In fact, the Boise State offense may not score a touchdown unless it begins a drive around midfield or exploits an MSU defensive error to break a long touchdown play. The best hope for the BSU offense to score a touchdown is to find a way to get into the redzone and then find a way to get a defensive height mismatch against BSU “X” WR Matt Miller (6’ 3”, 215 lbs., So.) or BSU “H” WR Kirby Moore (6’ 2”, 203 lbs., Jr.) that will produce a touchdown reception.
To stay competitive, Boise State must not [1] lose a turnover, [2] surrender a big scoring play, or [3] fail to gain points in the red zone. Conversely, Michigan State can afford to do one or more of the preceding and still win.
