It was almost 15 months ago that Dereck Boles and Chanceller James got into a fight at a house party—the result being James losing part of his ear and Boles being booted from the Boise State squad and charged with felony mayhem (he was found not guilty last month).
Cowboys fans wait…and some of ‘em worry
NFL writers—and bloggers on fan sites—bide their time in May and June with breakdowns of their teams’ post-draft 53-man rosters. We know what the Dallas depth chart looks like at quarterback: Dak Prescott and Kellen Moore. Period.
Montell Cozart—a bigger Rathen Ricedorff
Jake Constantine may very well be the answer as Brett Rypien’s backup quarterback for Boise State this year, but that position demands depth. With Rathen Ricedorff gone, enter Montell Cozart, a graduate transfer from the University of Kansas.
What spring conclusions can be reached, really?
At ESPN.com, one of the college football leads is, “Biggest positive spring takeaway for every top-25 team.” For Boise State, it might be simply that the Broncos are on this list at No. 24. Beyond that, here’s the narrative:

Sperbeck hopes to spring a draft surprise
Can Boise State land two NFL Draft selections this year? Or three? Two is the most likely number. Jeremy McNichols and Tanner Vallejo made it to the NFL Combine, while Thomas Sperbeck did not.
