--- We approached the midway point of the season on a bit of a down note after blowing last week’s game against Old Dominion. It wasn’t going to get any easier, as our Homecoming game opponent was none other than the #7 Boise State Broncos. To say we were going to be climbing a mountain was an understatement. The Broncos entered #11 in the nation in scoring, putting up 35.8 points/game. They had the #8 offense in the nation, gaining over 449.6 yards/game. Their passing offense was also #8 in the country, with 299 yards/game through the air. Their rushing attack was a lower-rated, coming in at #69 nationally, but still good for over 150.6 yards/game.
Their defense was also a buzzsaw, ranked #29 nationally in overall defense, giving up only 318.6 yards/game, ranked #26 in rushing defense, giving up only 125.6 yards/game and ranked #44 nationally in passing defense, giving up only 193 yards/game. We were going to have an uphill climb from the word go. Boise State won the coin toss and elected to kick.
A huge 43 yard kickoff return by Preston Roberson set us up at our 42 yard line to start the game. Roberson received the handoff on first down, fighting his way to a 6 yard gain, followed by a pickup of three yards, leaving us facing third and one. Brian Paris was able to convert the third down with a three yard rush, getting the first down at the Boise State 46 yard line. Running a play action pass on first down, the defense bit on the fake, but the pass from Adam Powers intended for Brian James fell short and incomplete, leaving second and 10. Dre Martin was able to pull down a pass from Powers for a gain of 8 yards, setting us up with third and two. Going back to James on third down, Powers was able to connect for an 8 yard gain and a first down at the 30 yard line. A three yard rush by Roberson on first down was followed with a 6 yard gain to leave third and one. Putting the ball into the hands of Roberson once more, he was able to fight his way forward for a gain of three and the first down at the 19 yard line. Returning to the play action on first down, Powers was able to just avoid a sack, rifling a pass over the middle to Eric McGuire for a 19 yard touchdown and a 7-0 lead with 5:12 left in the first quarter.
A touchback on the kickoff gave Boise State the ball at their 25 yard line. A pass over the middle from Mark Concepcion to Lance Burton got the drive started with an 11 yard gain and a quick first down at the 36. An incomplete pass on first down, wide of the receiver and nearly intercepted by our defense, left the Broncos and second with long. A 9 yard pass to Eric Miles left third and one, where Chris Martin received the ball on the ground, gaining three yards and the first down at the 48 yard line. A 21 yard rush by Concepcion on the read play moved Boise State well into our territory, a first down at our 31. We weren’t about to give up on defense, as Matt Pierce received the first down handoff, but was instantly stood up for a one yard loss to leave second and 11. Burton was able to come down with the rainbow pass from Concepcion, but a quick tackle limited the damage to just a 9 yard gain, setting up third and two. Fooled into playing the rush, we got burned by the Broncos as Concepcion faked the handoff and rifled a pass to Jason Henderson for a 9 yard pickup and a first down at our 14 yard line. Pierce again never had a chance on a first down handoff, the defense quickly swarming to bring him down for a one yard loss to bring up second and 11. A well timed blitz allowed our linebacker to break through the line untouched on the snap, forcing Concepcion to immediately scramble to his left and dump the ball over the middle. We had a chance at intercepting the ball, but were unable to come up with it, leaving third and 11. A third down pass to Tim Carpenter was complete over the middle, but the zone defense limited the damage and a diving tackle tripped him up for only a 10 yard gain, setting up fourth and one from our 5 yard line. The Broncos lined up to go for it on fourth down, Concepcion’s pass intended for Henderson was off target and landed harmlessly in the end zone, as we forced the turnover on downs and took over possession at our 5 yard line with 2:00 left in the first quarter.
Starting our drive at our 5 yard line, Roberson received the handoff on first down, picking up three yards on the play. A second down rush by Roberson gained only one yard after a blitz by the defense, leaving us with third and 6 from our 9 yard line. Threading the needle between three defenders, Powers was able to hit Martin down the left hash, the pass complete for a 23 yard strike and a first down at the 32 yard line. Keeping in the air on first down, Paris hauled in a pass from Powers for a 16 yard pickup and another first down at the 47. Handing the ball off to Paris on first down, he managed to get four yards on the play, pushing us into Boise State territory. That would bring the first quarter to an end, our surprising lead sitting at 7-0.
Opening up the second quarter, facing second and 6 at the Boise State 49 yard line, Roberson received the ball, fighting his way to a 7 yard gain and a first down at the 42. Taking a shot at the end zone on first down, the pass intended for Martin was nearly intercepted at the goal line, leaving second and 10. A second down pass intended for Ryan Conley was likewise nearly intercepted, and we found ourselves facing third and 10. The third down pass from Powers to Martin got batted away at the last moment, and our drive stalled out at the Boise 42. Besides being a 59 yard field goal attempt, we had a stiff 11 MPH wind blowing in our faces, so we were resigned to punting the ball away. The 42 yard punt bounced down at the 5 yard line, but ended up rolling to the end zone for a touchback, giving Boise State the ball at their 20 yard line.
Taking over at their 20, Matt Pierce received the handoff on first down, and was nearly instantly tackled for what would have been a four or 5 yard loss, but he managed to scramble out of a pair of tackles, fighting his way back near the line of scrimmage before finally being brought down for a loss of one yard, leaving second and 11. A four yard completion to Burton, his momentum carrying him out of bounds, left Boise State looking at third and 6. The defense came through when it mattered most, forcing a coverage sack on Concepcion for a 6 yard loss, forcing Boise State to trot out the punt team on fourth and 13. A 10 yard punt return on the 54 yard punt gave us the ball at our 39 yard line.
Starting on the ground on first down, Roberson received the handoff but was quickly dragged down from behind for a gain of only two yards. Dropping back in the shotgun, Powers found McGuire down the right sideline, who had beaten the cornerback off the line. A well place pass caught in stride by McGuire allowed him to sprint down the field for a 43 yard completion before being tripped up from behind at the Boise State 16 yard line. Forced to get rid of the ball immediately to avoid a sack, the first down pass intended for Martin was nearly intercepted at the 8 yard line, leaving us with second and long. A second down pass to Michael Smith was batted down at the line of scrimmage, setting up third and 10. Going right back to Smith, he was able to haul in the pass from Powers, but ended up tackled shy of the first down marker, a gain of only 9 yards to leave fourth and one. Settling for a 24 yard field goal, the kick by Richard Burnette bounced off the right upright and back into the end zone no good, giving Boise State the ball back at their 20 yard line, 5:32 left until halftime.
A first down pass from Concepcion to Pierce gained 6 yards, followed by a three yard pass to Burton that left Boise State looking at third and one. Concepcion would burn us for the second time tonight, keeping the ball on a read play and racing down the field for a 17 yard rush and a first down at the 46 yard line. Pierce followed that up with a 19 yard rush down the right sideline and a new set of downs at our 35. Concepcion tried to fool us again with a read play, but the outside linebacker read it and brought him down for a four yard loss, leaving second and 14. Despite bringing 8 guys on a blitz, Matt Daniels was able to break free and rumble for a 13 yard gain, setting up third and one from the 26. Pierce would get the first down and then some, picking up 15 yards down the left sideline to move the chains to our 11 yard line. A first down pass to Carpenter went for an 11 yard gain, the defense managing to tackle him just shy of the goal line, giving Boise State first and goal inside the one. Brian Ivey tried to punch it in a jet sweep, but the one defender between him and the end zone was able to hold him long enough for reinforcements to arrive and tackle him for a one yard loss, leaving second and goal at the two. Despite getting hit on him two yards deep, Pierce was able to drive through the tackle and push both him and the defender into the end zone for a two yard touchdown, tying the game up at 7-7 with 2:24 left until halftime.
A touchback on the kickoff gave us the ball at our 25 yard line for our next drive. Lining up in the shotgun, Powers tried to connect with McGuire over the middle, but the ball was nearly intercepted by the outside linebacker, leaving us with second and 10. Paris was able to pull in a ball from Powers for a 17 yard reception, getting a first down at the 42. A broken up pass intended for Conley found us again looking at second and long. Douglas was able to pull down a pass over the middle, but he was immediately tackled for only a 5 yard gain, bringing up third and 5. Powers dropped back on third down, but Boise State brought the house, sacking him for a 9 yard loss before he could release the ball, leaving us bringing out the punt team on fourth and 15. Boise State called their first timeout after the play, stopping the clock with 1:23 remaining until halftime. A 17 yard return on the 36 yard punt gave Boise State excellent field position, starting at their 43 yard line with 1:12 left.
Starting from their 43, Boise State went right into the air on first down, and wasted no time in burning us, as Miles hauled in the pass from Concepcion near our 40 yard line. A failed tackle by the safety at the 20 allowed Miles to trot the rest of the way into the end zone for a one play, 57 yard touchdown, giving Boise State a 14-7 lead with 1:03 left until halftime.
Another touchback on the kickoff, got us lined up from our 25 yard line. Coming out in shotgun on first down, the pass intended for McGuire got broken up as he ended up caught in traffic, leaving second and long. Throwing over the middle, Powers found Smith for a 13 yard gain and a first down at the 38 yard line. Rushing to the line, Powers quickly snapped the ball and dropped back, Conley getting open along the right sideline for a pickup of 16 yards and a first down at the Boise State 45 yard line. Staying in the no huddle, Powers tried to hit McGuire along the left sideline, but the cornerback was able to break it up, bringing up second down and stopping the clock with 42 seconds to go. The pass over the middle intended for Martin was broken up by the middle linebacker, leaving us facing third and 10. Douglas was able to haul in the third down pass from Powers, but he was unable to get the first down, brought down for a gain of 9 yards to leave us with fourth and one at the 36 yard line. We called our first timeout with 34 seconds left in the half, as we decided the course of action we wanted to take. Giving Burnette a shot on the 53 yard field goal, he came up just short of the goal post, the wind holding the ball up during the flight. The failed field goal gave the ball back to Boise State at their 36 yard line, 30 seconds left until halftime.
Taking over after the missed field goal, Boise State again wasted no time in capitalizing, as Concepcion found Ivey down the left sideline for a 33 yard gain, giving the Broncos a first down at our 31 yard line. The booth reviewed the play to see if Ivey got his foot down inbounds. The call on the field was confirmed, and Boise State lined up on first down with 25 seconds to go. The blitz on first down forced Concepcion to throw a bad pass, intended for Ivey, bringing up second down. Avoiding the blitz, Concepcion found Ivey at the 20 yard line. A failed tackle by the cornerback allowed Ivey to sprint towards the end zone, a tackled from behind by safety Carlton Herring bringing him down at the 6 yard line to save the touchdown. However, a facemask on the tackle by Herring aided the Broncos, the three yard penalty giving them first and goal from the three yard line with 14 seconds to go. Concepcion rolled out on the first down play, finding Carpenter at the goal line. Despite being hit in the back, pushing him back towards the two yard line, and three different defenders trying to tackle him, Carpenter somehow refused to go down, broke free and trotted into the end zone for the three yard touchdown, giving Boise State a 21-7 lead with 8 seconds left until halftime.
Yet another touchback on the kickoff gave us the ball at our 25 yard line, only 8 seconds to work with. Taking a shot deep down the right sideline, McGuire was able to get the jump on the cornerback and go up high to pull down the pass from Powers, complete for a 38 yard gain at the Boise State 37 yard line, a quick timeout stopping the clock with only two seconds left. Lining up for the Hail Mary, Mary showed us some serious love, as Roberson was able to slip past his defender, pull in the pass from Powers at the 20 yard line, and raced toward the end zone. Both the safety and the cornerback were able to catch up to him from behind at the three yard line, but in a brilliant display of athleticism, Roberson used a rolling tackle by the cornerback at the one yard line to roll over the top of his body, remaining off of the ground until he fell forward into the end zone just inside the goal line for a miraculous 37 yard touchdown pass, sending the fans into a frenzy, and closing the gap to 21-14 with no time left as we headed into halftime down by a touchdown.
Opening up the second half, a touchback on the kickoff gave Boise State the ball at their 25 yard line to start the third quarter. The Broncos started their drive through the air as Concepcion found Ivey for an 11 yard gain and a quick first down at the 36 yard line. An 11 yard completion to Burton moved the chains once more to the 47. Going to the opposite sideline, Burton pulled down a pass from Concepcion for a gain of three, followed by a four yard completion to Henderson to leave third and four. Martin was able to keep the drive moving with a four yard rush, giving Boise State a first down at our 43 yard line. A 32 yard rush by Pierce down the left sideline left the Broncos knocking on the door with a first down from our 11 yard line. Pierce was only able to gain one yard on the first down carry. We nearly were able to sack Concepcion on second down, but he was able to get the pass off. We nearly were able to intercept the pass, but our cornerback overshot the play, allowing Henderson to pull in the pass and walk into the end zone for a 10 yard touchdown, giving Boise State a 28-14 lead with 6:49 left in the third quarter.
A 31 yard kickoff return by McGuire set us up at our 28 yard line to start our drive. Roberson started us off with a four yard rush on first down, followed by a one yard rush by Paris to leave us facing third and 5. The third down pass by Powers intended for Douglas was deflected up in the air, our right tackle trying to catch it but failing to hold on, the incomplete pass bringing out our punt team on fourth and 5. A 16 yard return on the 45 yard punt gave Boise State the ball at their 36 yard line. Henderson picked up right where he left off against us, as he pulled down a pass from Concepcion for a 14 yard gain and a first down at midfield. A screen pass on first down was bit hook, line and sinker by our defense, allowing Pierce to gain 10 yards on the play and leave the Broncos with second and inches. Pierce tried to get the first down on the ground, but we were ready for him as we brought the house, Pierce ending up tackled for a three yard loss to set up third and three. A second heavy blitz forced Concepcion to throw away the ball, a victory for our defense as the punt team came out on fourth and three from our 44. A shanked punt to the right sideline sailed only 29 yards before going out of bounds, but we still were left starting our drive from our 14 yard line.
Starting our drive on the ground, Roberson received the handoff for a three yard gain, before a 19 yard completion over the middle to Martin got us a first down out at our 36 yard line. Staying in the air on first down, Powers wasn’t able to get the ball away, sacked by the blitz for a 6 yard loss, leaving us with second and 16. Powers was able to find Douglas near the right hash for a 10 yard completion, setting up third and 6. Another pass to Douglas only gained three yards, forcing us to punt on fourth and three. A 9 yard return on the 40 yard punt gave Boise State the ball at their 26 yard line.
A thrown away ball on first down by Concepcion left the Broncos starting in a hole on their drive, our defense unyielding thus far. Bringing the heat on second down, we were able to break through the line before Concepcion could get rid of the ball, sacking him for an 8 yard loss to leave Boise State facing third and 18. Concepcion was smacked as he threw the ball, but he was able to get the pass off intended for Carpenter. Our zone defense was ready, two defenders making a play on the pass that came down behind Carpenter. Unfortunately, neither one was able to intercept the pass. Regardless, it brought up fourth and 18, Boise State punting the ball back to us. A fair catch by McGuire on the 46 yard punt set us up at our 35 yard line.
Lining up after the punt, Roberson received the handoff on first down, but had nowhere to go as he was brought down for a one yard gain. Lining up under center, Powers dropped back and found McGuire for a 19 yard completion, giving us a first down at the Boise State 46 yard line. Running the power option to the right, it ended in disaster as Powers made the right read and pitched the ball to Roberson. While the defensive end broke down on Powers, the rest of the defense was ready and waiting for Roberson, tackling him for a four yard loss to leave second and 14. Lining up in the shotgun, Powers got a pass off to McGuire for a 9 yard gain, setting up third and 5. That would be the final play of the third quarter as the clock ran out, Boise State leading 28-14.
Opening up the fourth quarter, facing third and 5 at the Boise State 41 yard line, we came out in the shotgun, the pass from Powers intended for Douglas was underthrown and bounced off the turf, forcing us to punt once more on fourth and 5. The 41 yard punt bounced down inside the 10 yard line, but none of our players were able to it before it rolled into the end zone for a touchback.
Taking over at their 20 yard line after the punt, Boise State came out airing it out. Our blitz got to Concepcion, hitting him as he threw the ball, but he was still able to complete a pass to Carpenter for a 19 yard gain and a first down at the 39 yard line. Another blitz nearly brought down Concepcion, but he would again beat the blitz, finding Burton over the middle. A pair of missed tackles by our safeties left Burton with nothing but green in front of him, taking it to the house for a 61 yard touchdown, giving Boise State a 35-14 lead with 8:27 left in the game.
A touchback on the kickoff got us lined up at our 25 yard line, looking for a miracle to get us back in this game. McGuire nearly got us right back in it, pulling down a pass over the middle from Powers, strong arming away one defender, before being tripped up for a 25 yard gain at midfield. A first down pass down the left sideline to James gained 11 yards, moving the chains once more to the Boise State 39 yard line. Finally starting to find some semblance of an offense again, Powers connected with Douglas along the right sideline. Douglas turned up the field, shouldering off the tackle attempt by the outside linebacker, then spun his way out of a tackle attempt by the cornerback, sprinting up the field just out of the reach of the safety and diving into the end zone for a 39 yard touchdown, cutting Boise State’s lead down to 35-21 with 7:40 left in the game.
A 12 yard return on Burnette’s completely shanked 33 yard kickoff, gave Boise State great field position at their 43 yard line, and potentially ruined any hopes of a comeback. Concepcion kept the ball on first down with a read play, picking up 8 yards on the carry, followed by a 5 yard completion to Carpenter to get the first down at our 44 yard line. A 23 yard completion to Kyle Young got the Broncos a first down clear down at our 22 yard line, the Broncos rolling over our defense now. Another pass to Young picked up 9 yards, followed by Pierce receiving the handoff and punching it in for the 12 yard touchdown, giving Boise State a 42-21 lead with 6:16 left in the game.
A touchback on the kickoff got us back in action from our 25 yard line, as this point pretty much just trying to save face. Powers lined up in the shotgun, managing to somehow slip a pass between the hands of the outside linebacker and into the hands of McGuire, who caught the ball for a 14 yard gain and a new set of downs at our 39. Taking a shot deep down the right sideline, the pass intended for Martin was broken up by the cornerback, the safety coming in diving trying to intercept the ball, but he was unable to come up with it before it hit the ground, leaving second and 10. The second down pass to Douglas was way off the mark, sailing over his head and landing 10 yards down field, leaving us with third and long. Just to add insult to injury, Powers was unable to release the ball on third down, sacked by the defense for a 10 yard loss, leaving us punting on fourth and 20 at our 29 yard line. Boise State broke through and nearly blocked the punt, but we were able to just barely get it off, a fair catch called on the 39 yard punt to give Boise State the ball at their 31 yard line.
Lining up on first down, Pierce received the handoff but had no chance at positive yards, the blitz bringing him down for a two yard loss. Another handoff to Pierce ended even worse, as he was brought down in the backfield for a four yard loss, leaving the Broncos facing third and 16. Despite bringing plenty of pressure, Concepcion had enough time to find Carpenter down the left sideline, the pass complete for a huge 47 yard gain, giving Boise State a first down at our 27 yard line. Concepcion dropped back on first down, throwing the ball to Young, but a timely hit by the safety knocked the ball loose and incomplete, bringing up second down. A 14 yard completion to Henderson was all Boise State needed for a new set of downs, the ball lying at our 13 yard line. A quick pass over the middle found Ivey for an 11 yard gain, and the Broncos were knocking on the door with first and goal from our two yard line. Concepcion dropped back from under center, firing a pass to wide open Antonio Harrington, but he was unable to hold onto the ball, thankfully bringing up second and goal. Not to be denied, Concepcion found Burton in the left corner of the end zone for a two yard touchdown, and Boise State took a 49-21 lead with 3:24 left in the game.
A touchback on the kickoff gave us the ball at our 25 yard line. Raising the white flag, we brought in our second string offense on first down, Paris receiving the handoff and taking it up the middle for a 10 yard gain. Keeping the ball on the ground, we ended up going backwards as Paris was tackled for a one yard loss, leaving second and 11. Lining up in the shotgun on second down, redshirt freshman Jason Barnes threw his first pass of his career, hitting Conley over the middle for a 10 yard gain, but just shy of the marker, leaving us with third and inches. Paris took the ball on third down and fought his way to a 7 yard rush, picking up the first down at the Boise State 49 yard line. Continuing on the ground, Paris could only manage one yard on the first down carry, as Boise State brought the blitz on the play. Taking another shot down the field, Barnes connected with Smith for a gain of 7 yards, leaving third and three. Barnes was able to stay perfect in his limited action, finding Smith again on third down, this time for an 11 yard pickup, moving the chains to the Boise State 30 yard line. We called our first timeout with 33 seconds left in the game, hoping to find the end zone just once more before game’s end. A quick pass over the middle to Conley picked up 13 yards and a first down at the Boise State 18 yard line. Rushing to the line, Barnes tried to hit Douglas down the right sideline, but the ball was broken up at the goal line, leaving second and 10 with 22 seconds remaining. Smith pulled down the second down ball from Barnes, but he could only manage 8 yards on the play, leaving us facing third and two, our second timeout taken with 18 seconds to go. John Harrington kept us moving with a four yard reception, giving us first and goal at the 6 yard line. Rushing to the line, Barnes tried to hit Douglas in the back of the end zone, but it was broken up, leaving second and goal, 10 seconds on the clock. Trying to hit Douglas again, the play was again broken up, and we were left with third and goal, just three seconds on the clock. Conley would be the man of the hour, as Barnes found him over the middle for a 6 yard touchdown, cutting Boise State’s lead to 49-28 with one second left on the clock.
An 18 yard return on the squibbed kickoff left the clock with all zeroes, as Boise State walked out with a 49-28 win to spoil our Homecoming weekend.
With our second straight loss, we fall to 3-3, 2-1 in Mountain West action. With the win, Boise State improves to 6-0, 3-0 in Mountain West play. Up next, we return to the road to take on New Mexico. The Lobos enter the game 2-4, 0-2 in Mountain West action. New Mexico opened their year with a 28-21 loss to UTSA, before reeling off two wins in a row, 29-24 at UTEP and 31-10 at Pittsburgh. They've since gone into a slide, losing 27-21 to UNLV, 35-17 to New Mexico State and 34-31 at Wyoming heading into our game.

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.
