With a new coach and higher numbers within the program the Braves are a program on the upswing. Using an air raid offense that really stresses the defensive backfield of every team they play the Braves can dominate through the air. It helps when you have a really talented young signal caller who had tools to become one of the best passers in the league in the coming year. Where Boise is going to have to make up some ground due to graduation is going to be at the wide receiver position where they are graduating a highly decorated senior who was a huge weapon for the Braves this year. This team can score points in quick succession and are always dangerous no matter who they are playing. Where Boise made its biggest jump is probably on the defensive side of the ball holding some of the conferences best teams to some of their lowest point totals of the season. Using swarming play from two really good safeties that made plays all over the field and a defensive front that was as active as any in the league, the Braves were able to make teams work for points all year. Losing some very close games it should be said that this team is going to only get better as long as they keep believing in themselves. Watch out for the Braves as the down years at the bottom of the league look to be a thing of the past. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
