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 visits Southern Miss on Saturday (10 a.m., ROOT NW) 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 9 a.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.

Congrats to CoolHandLuke, who won last week's contest. He picked Boise State 28-21.

Hey Murph I checked my inbox for your email (regarding the pizza) and found the subject heading "Feminine big booty, seeking romance." Just to let you know, I think I'll just take the pizza.
CHL- Thanks BTW!

Cylinders firing and Jay Ajayi has 75+ yards rushing. Harper and Jay become new duo. Like this game and I like the fact that Southwick is playing with more confidence. He did well throwing for 300yards on the road last week. Don't see that diminishing this week either. Southwick has another 300yrd passing game. Go Bronco's!!!

Southwick keeps improving. Defense shows it only looks bad against the option. BSU dominates, gets back into polls.

The offense has been shut out twice this year and the defense is getting worn out.

The Broncos score an offensive TD in this game making the Broncos 60% productive at scoring an offensive TD in a game.

At this time the odds are 50/50 that the Broncos will score an offensive TD in a game (4 games played and an offensive TD scored in 2 games so far this year). But I think the Broncos will come out on top and eventually score an offensive TD in a game. This game, hopefully. The TD will prolly be a run by Harper over the Right Guard, if it happens.

It looks like the Broncos have had some good practice games so far this year and are beginning to get the hang of scoring offensive TDs in some of the games. I think they can do it again, during this game, too.

Lightning can strike twice and it looks like the Offensive Coordinator for the Broncos has faith and confidence in Harper up the middle, as it seems to be about the only play he calls. I guess if you call it enough, that sooner or later, it will work sometime/eventually.

Go Broncos.
