It's back!

The Chicago Connection "Name the Score" contest is back for its fourth season here at Murph's Turf. Many thanks to Chicago Connection for providing the prize (a gift certificate for a free pizza) each week.

The rules are pretty much the same as they have been, but for any newcomers here they are:

Boise State hosts Miami (Ohio) on Saturday (2 p.m., NBC Sports) and here is your chance to predict the score and win a prize.

Place your guess with a winner and both teams' score in the comments down below and we will pick one winner. (Please limit one guess per commenter.)

The closest to the actual score of the game wins.

You can listen to my audio prediction here. It is sponsored this season by Rockitecture.

All entries must be received by 1 p.m. MT on Saturday.

When you register to make comments at IdahoStatesman.com, you put in an e-mail address. I will contact the winner through that e-mail address.

If it comes down to tiebreakers, closest to Boise State's actual score, closest without going over and then first received will be the tie-breaking order.

Live chat

Just a hunch that this game might not be close. It's good to have the Broncos back on the blue turf. I'm hoping for blue uniforms even though I'll be watching on TV.

Go Broncos!

I'm not a Southwick believer and I don't have confidence in Robert Prince as Offensive Coordinator. Miami of Ohio pulls a stunner and beats an offensively challenged Bronco squad. I hope I'm wrong.

BSU is a mid-level program in a marshmallow conference playing a sub-par DIV II team; so don’t get all worked up. An upset could very well happen, just ask Arkansas.
The truth will set you free, but wait you’re a BSU homer; so you really don’t have a clue about anything.

Another classy BSU fan.

Joe does way better in this game i think we torch their secondary and D.J. goes for 125.

That only holds if LSU trots out its scout team. Idaho bus starts before end of Q1.

Oddsmakers are currently calling it BSU 37-16, which makes Blblu below look pretty good.

The score is actually closer than the game as Miami gets a garbage time touchdown late in the game after BSU has pulled their starters. BSU tries to stay a little conservative still with BYU coming to town next Thursday and works hard on their running game and gets some play action down field.

Broncos 19
