Outside of losing Boise State on the schedule, everything else is much better. Utah State was good for the time being as well.
I think Independance would have been better if we scheduled more MWC rivals like CSU, Wyoming, Fresno or Air Force though, would prefer those to the UMass, Middle Tennessee, Georgia Southern and ECU type games.
But I digress, The only game I am sad to lose is the Boise rivalry. I really enjoyed it. Picking up a Quality schedule with yearly games vs Baylor, TCU, Texas Tech, Okie State, KState, WVU, etc is definitely much better. The tradeoff is definitely worth it.
