Stat(s) of the Game:
Utah State Offense - A good week for Powers, who ended 23-38 for 409 yards and three touchdowns. Barnes saw his first action of the season, going 7-10 for 58 yards and one touchdown. But it wouldn't be enough against the Boise State juggernaut. Rushing, practically dead. Roberson ended with 39 yards on 13 carries, Paris had 25 yards on seven carries. Receiving, McGuire led the day by far, ending with 167 yards and one touchdown on seven receptions. Next was Douglas with 66 yards and a touchdown on five receptions. Conley added a touchdown to his 45 yards on four catches. And Roberson had one touchdown with only one reception, his big 37 yard Hail Mary grab before halftime. In all, nine receivers caught a pass today, eight ended in double digit yards.
Utah State Defense – Turrible, turrible and more turrible. Gave up a season high 560 yards of offense, got burned for 443 yards passing and 5 touchdowns through the air, and gave up 117 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. Only four possession did Boise State not score a touchdown, punting three times and turning the ball over on downs at our 5 yard line in the first quarter. The defense failed to force any turnovers today, the best they have to hang their hat on is three sacks, three sacks that ultimately mattered, nor affected, little.
Utah State Kicking – Burnette goes 0-fer for the day, ending 0-2 in field goals, bouncing a 24 yard attempt off the right upright, and coming up short on a 53 yard try. He did at least manage to go 4-4 in PATs.
