Since it’s a bye week, and Boise State is reviewing the first half of the season, let’s review something I wrote two weeks before the season started: “Some people just can’t understand why the Broncos aren’t at least 12-1 every year and actually call for a coaching change.”

Boise State football: Well, it happened
We found out a lot about the quarterback position in Boise State’s 59-37 win over Hawaii Saturday night. One, that it is as fragile as we thought it was.
