Setting the table for this week’s Boise State showdown with Washington State got more interesting Saturday evening.
The need to exceed (expectations)
Now that it’s confirmed that Boise State will not be a member of the Big 12, the Broncos’ business at hand is trying to regain its perch atop the Group of 5.
Webster-esque definition of “linebacker”
Isn’t a linebacker basically a guy who “backs the line?” How important is that position to Boise State Saturday?
The insignificance of “recruiting stars”
It was a little more than 2½ years ago that Dylan Sumner-Gardner, a Texas A&M commit, flipped to follow Aggies defensive coordinator Marcel Yates to Boise State.
ULL’s McGuire can cut through the humidity
Last week’s news out of Louisiana-Lafayette was the naming of former LSU Tiger Anthony Jennings as starting quarterback.
Still some firsts out there for Rypien
It’s Game Week for Boise State, with quarterback Brett Rypien looking forward to his first season opener this Saturday morning at Louisiana-Lafayette.
Imitating bayou air the best they can
I’ve heard it said this week that the humidity in Lafayette, LA, is expected to be about 75 percent a week from tomorrow, and that “it’s no big deal.”
The sixth piece of the six-prong puzzle?
In a perfect world, Boise State would like two waves of three at wide receiver. The first group would be the starters, presumed to be Thomas Sperbeck, Chaz Anderson and junior college transfer Cedrick Wilson.
Intangibles take a new tack at Lafayette
There’s a huge, unexpected intangible developing in Boise State’s season opener, now just 12 days away at Louisiana-Lafayette.
What the heck is a “TV market,” really?
Boise State is in the No. 107 TV market in the country, right? Well, that’s not really what it’s all about, and I trust Big 12 presidents will recognize that as they go through this muddy expansion process.
