With Evan Tyler out for the season with a torn ACL, everyone jumps up a notch on Boise State’s depth chart at safety. That means Kekaula Kaniho may not redshirt this season.
A resurgence at this spot seems likely
Revisiting some numbers I had the other night on Sunday Sports Extra—Boise State’s 2016 passing game distribution.
Top of the depth chart or bust?
This decade has shown us one thing. All across college football, it’s getting harder to find guys who’ll settle for being a backup quarterback.
Shrinking sacks on the Bronco O-line
This wasn’t a big story last season, but maybe it should have been. The Boise State offensive line cut its sacks allowed by more than a third compared to the 2015 season—from 29 to 19.
Symbol of a good era for two Bronco teams

Vacation? What vacation?
Boise State’s summer conditioning and player-run practices wrapped up last Tuesday. That means just one week of a collective exhale for the Broncos, because fall camp begins tomorrow (and the season opens a month from Wednesday).For quarterback Brett Rypien, it’s a chance to demonstrate that 2017 can be a showcase.

The Bronco effect on other teams’ seasons

Now, aiming at the right fork in the road
One of my takeaways from the Mountain West Football Media Summit was Brett Rypien’s take on the 2016 Boise State football season. The junior quarterback worked it in reverse order.
Is there a fork in the road for the Broncos?
The Mountain West Media Summit begins tomorrow in Las Vegas (the word “summit” makes us feel really important). This is where the Boise State program first reaches the crossroads that characterize the 2017 season.
