Overschatting, vorig jaar had Michigan nog een van de beste defenses, dat kan nu niet zo maar weg zijn.

Maar de defense was in deze game wel om te janken. Maar goed, game over already for Michigan.

Misschien niet bekend bij jullie maar bij Boise State zit een Nederlandse DB (Redshirt maar goed). Cedric Febis heet hij

Febis: Freshman leaves Holland to chase dream

Febis' college football odyssey began on a lark — a trip from his home in Holland to Boise to attend the Boise State camp in summer 2005.

He picked BSU because his long-lost cousin, Romeo Bandison, was the Broncos' defensive line coach and Febis' club coach knew Bandison.

Febis called home and told his parents he wanted to stay.

"I told my parents, ‘I love it here. Football is fun,' " said Febis, who is fluent in three languages and capable in two more. "My parents, they always want the best for me. They thought it was a challenge, too. … They were like, ‘Let's try it. If it doesn't work, you can just come home.' "

He returned to Holland to fill out the necessary paperwork, then flew back to Boise to begin his senior year of high school at Bishop Kelly.

He joined the football team having played just three years of club football in Holland, where his friends played soccer. He was named second-team All-Idaho and first-team All-SIC as a cornerback on a state championship team.

"For him to only play a year and play the way he did is pretty impressive," Wilcox said.

Febis signed a letter of intent with BSU in February 2006. He delayed his enrollment until this January so he could go home for the fall semester. He went through summer conditioning with his teammates before leaving.

"It was a whole different environment," Febis said. "The weight room is so aggressive and we don't have aggressive weight rooms like that back home. At first I was like, ‘Whoa, what's going on?' "

He went home in August and returned in January.

He stayed up all night to watch Boise State beat Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 1 (or Jan. 2 in Holland).

"I was the only guy jumping up and down in my living room," Febis said. "I was watching with my friends and my dad. I was so excited."

Since returning to America, he has been playing catch-up. Players met with coaches for 2 hours per week during winter conditioning. Febis also spent time on his own watching video of practices.

Monday, though, was his first on-field experience. The intensity will turn up a notch Thursday when players put on the shoulder pads and again Friday when they go to full pads.

His eighth practice — on March 23 — is a scrimmage.

That isn't much time to adapt.

Wilcox chuckled after Monday's practice while talking about the wide-eyed Febis, who will grow physically (he'll bulk up from 6-foot-2, 188 pounds) and mentally at a rapid rate over the next nine months.

Monday was just a taste.

"It wasn't the first time he heard (the schemes) today, but it was the first time he had to come out and do it," Wilcox said. "And it was live and there were people moving everywhere and there's whistles and talking and communicating. It's just like a whirlwind out there.

"He'll be fine. Four years from now, he's going to be like, ‘Ah, this is easy.' That's the difference between a young guy and a veteran guy.
