PrintThe Broncos rolled to a win in Laramie behind the rushing of Doug Martin, the passing of Kellen Moore, and the domination of pretty much everyone else. Wyoming never got anything going. Boise State had everything going right from the start.
What did you think of the Broncos' big win? After the jump, read my notes on the game and let me know what you think. Impressed with Boise State's dominance in the trenches? Curious what would have happened if bounces didn't go Boise State's way? Share your thoughts in the comments. And vote in the poll for player of the game.
Bring on Oregon State! Go Broncos!
First quarter
- Kyle Brotzman FG
- Shea McClellin fumble recovery TD
- Austin Pettis TD catch from Kellen Moore
Wyoming drive
Boise State's defensive line starts off the game with good pressure. If they can keep that up, it's going to be a long night for the Cowboys. The Broncos got lucky to get off the field with a three-and-out when the Wyoming back dropped a wide open pass. Aaron Tevis got a little turned around in coverage with a wheel route. He was definitely caught peeking on that one.
Boise State drive
Good mix of pass and run. The screen game seems to be a better part of the gameplan today. Wyoming doing a good job of stuffing the run up the middle so far. Boise State may have better luck getting to the edge. Austin Pettis seems to be getting open whenever and wherever he wants. Interesting that Kellen Moore didn't look his way on 3rd and goal. Broncos dodged a bullet with the dropped INT in the end zone. TT's two drops for the Cowboys in two series (dropped first down on offense). Did Kyle Efaw run the wrong route? That pass was way off.
Wyoming drive
Not only is Boise State covering well, they are staying disciplined on defense. The 1st down option play never had a chance. Great fill by Jamar Taylor. On 2nd down, Carta-Samuels panics when receivers don't get open right away and then gets sacked by a spying Aaron Tevis. Think Tyrod Talyor would have gotten away in that instance? I do. 3rd down, Boise State was in an interesting defensive alignment - Jerrell Gavins was on the field at corner, Jamar Taylor was playing inside like a linebacker opposite of the trips formation on the wide side. Of course, it was for naught because center-QB exchanges were not a specialty.
Three drives, three mistakes by Wyoming.
Wyoming drive
Tjong-A-Tjoe at defensive end? Yikes. It just doesn't look like Carta-Samuels will have enough time to ever look deep. If that's the case, then 1st and 20 probably wouldn't be a good idea. Wyoming will have a hard time getting to the edge against the Broncos, too. Boise State did more in a 3-man front this series, probably because of the long downs and distance. BSU can get pressure with three but bringing blitzes from different areas and trusting the secondary to make tackles behind. Mitch Burroughs should probably field rolling punts when there are no people near him. Lost about 30 yards by not picking up that punt.
Boise State drive
Boise State had a definite numbers advantage on the right side of the formation on Doug Martin's 1st down run. You won't have much success defending two against three with Boise State's offensive line. Martin is in the zone on this drive - yards on the edge, making people miss. It will be tough to take him out for Harper next series. Wyoming definitely fell for the fleaflicker, probably because BSU was running all over them up until then. Great trhrow by Kellen Moore, perfect.
Wyoming drive
Cowboys having some success against Boise State's No. 2 line. Michael Atkinson got washed down on the big 1st down carry. Good, tough defense against Carta-Samuels on that stretch pass. The three-man rush didn't really work on 3rd down, but great play by Hunter White to end the drive.
Boise State drive
Doug Martin is very dangerous when he gets a head of steam rolling. He crushed Wyoming's safety after a long run, he broke through big on a well-timed, well-blocked screen pass. Boise State moved the ball easily over the 50. Jeremy Avery plays have not been working tonight. His semi-screen pass went for negative yards. He almost seems a little clumsy tonight. On 3rd down, Kellen Moore gets picked over the middle on a pass to Chris Potter. Did Potter stop his route? Moore's two quasi-INTs tonight have both come over the middle on plays that seemed like he wasn't on the same page as his receivers. Fortunately, a very egregious roughing the passer took that one off the board. It took the Broncos four rushes to get their next 1st down (one that Jeremy Avery probably could have picked up on 3rd down if he had just run forward through the first hole). Kellen Moore sneaked for the 1st on 4th and a full yard, which says a lot about Boise State's confidence in its line's owning Wyoming up front. After an incomplete to Gallarda (drop or overthrow: you decide), Martin takes it in from 7 yards out. Solid blocks by Matt Slater and Dan Paul got him to the edge. The key block? A washout of the corner by a Bronco receiver who looked to be Mitch Burroughs.
Wyoming drive
Boise State's second D-line is still in there. Good plays by Michael Atkinson on 1st and 2nd down. Kharyee Marshall comes off with a shoulder injury after 2nd. From my deep experience diagnosing injuries over TV, I'd say it's a separated shoulder. Or a stinger. On 3rd down, either a called QB draw or the fastest read progression ever sent Carta-Samuels on the move, but Ricky Tjong-A-Tjoe at that up before it had a chance. Safe to say that Boise State's defensive line is winning the battle up front? Uh, yeah.
Second quarter
- Doug Martin TD run
- Titus Young TD catch from Kellen Moore
- Kyle Brotzman FG
Boise State drive
Boise State goes deep to Titus Young on the first play, and Young was WIDE open. He pulled away from the coverage, which was good because Kellen Moore's deep ball hung up there big time. You might want to give those CBs safety help.
Wyoming drive
Boise State's defensive line really wreaking havoc up front for Carta-Samuels. The 3rd down that Wyoming converted was completely a fluke. Gavins was really turned around and did not play the ball well, but something had to go Wyoming's way eventually. Boise State has a very good read on Wyoming's read option play. Carta-Samuels has yet to keep on it, which is odd because there is no room for the running back ever. Carta-Samuels' deep pass into the end zone was kind of a desperate toss into double coverage. Good play on the ball by Jeron Johnson. That is not an easy pick to make.
And as for George Iloka interfering with the receiver: Uh, no. That was incidental contact. His hands went out because his instincts were to keep the guy from falling. Their feet got tangled up. And the CBS College Sports crew completely botched that call. YOU CANNOT DO VIDEO REVIEW FOR PENALTIES. The refs were looking at it to see if Johnson did indeed catch the ball in bounds. They were not reviewing the no-call. Come on , people.
Boise State drive
Good running by Harper. Boise State looked human for the first time tonight on short passes that didn't connect. Kellen Moore had plenty of time, just started forcing balls into tight spots.
Wyoming drive
The Cowboys had positive yards on 1st down for maybe the first time tonight. Too bad they didn't do anything with it. Another read option on 2nd that went nowhere. And then a rather impossible pass to catch up the sideline on 3rd down. The receiver never really had a chance on that one.
Boise State drive
Finally, Tyler Shoemaker shows up. Great catch and run, although it helps when playaction pulls all 11 defenders away from you. The drive ends with a Kelen Moore INT - and a really bad one at that. On the very abbreviated scale of Kellen Moore picks, this one was one of the worst. Just ill-advised and not confident. He obviously did not see the underneath defender but Shoemaker was covered pretty well anyway.
Wyoming drive
And ... nothing. If a pass ever deserved to be intercepted, it was that duck that Carta-Samuels threw on 3rd down.
Boise State drive
Kellen Moore was just picking the D apart on that drive. He had lots of time on every throw. Wyoming's defensive line hasn't done much of anything this game. There's been less Pettis and Young now that the game is getting out of hand, which could explain why the team bogged down in the red zone. I'd have liked to see the Broncos put one in there (their only red zone touchdown was Martin's TD run), but seriously ... 31-0? Can't complain about that.
Third quarter
- Kyle Brotzman FG
- Carta-Samuels TD pass
- D.J. Harper TD run
Boise State drive
Starting off with a 1st and 20 is not a good way to open the half, but hey, when Titus Young is running uncovered on 3rd down you'll take it. Typically that is the pass that the defense wants you to make - the safe checkdown on 3rd and long - but Young would have had the first, missed tackles or not. Strange. The first Kellen Moore option of the season, and it ends with Mitch Burroughs getting rolled up from behind and injured. Some more solid running from Boise State, but a Joe Kellogg penalty and a rushing loss give BSU a tough time of it on 3rd down. Perfect throw by Moore to the sticks, but I guess Burks was short on the catch. They didn't want to measure that one?
Wyoming drive
Winston Venable with a couple nice plays on 1st and 2nd down, even though the two plays ended with a Cowboy 1st down. Boise State had Wyoming on 3rd down, but a good pass to the RB who beat Jonathan Brown easily and picked up the first. Great playaction pass on the ensuing play and a busted coverage gives Wyoming its first points of the game. With as much as Boise State has been stacking the box against the run, it's about time Wyoming ran a play like that.
Boise State drive
Once Boise State got it moving with a 3rd down pickup from Chris Potter (after a fumbled snap; hey, those are back!), there was no stopping them. A D.J. Harper drive, capped with a Harper TD run. Tommy Gallarda was open a couple of times on playaction passes. The Broncos made it look easy. That drive reminded me of the Bowling Green game from last year - Boise State just doing whatever it wants without much resistance from the defense. Seriously, D.J. Harper scored on a short-yardage run up the middle and wasn't touched until he crossed the goalline.
Fourth quarter
- Jarvis Hodge TD run
Wyoming drive
Boise State's first-team D-line gets a rushing stop on 1st down and a sack on 2nd down, and that's all she wrote for that drive. Will this be the last time we see Winn and Co. tonight?
Boise State drive
I guess Mike Coughlin is ahead of Joe Southwick on the depth chart. Which means it's time for the Broncos to send in the safe Mike Coughlin playcall package. Five runs, one first down, a 3rd down screen pass, and a 4th down fumble (not Bronson Durrant's best snap ever, to be sure), and it's Wyoming ball.
Wyoming drive
Jerrell Gavins got beat clean by David Leonard on that 3rd down play. Too bad for Wyoming that the pass was woefully long. That's the second time Gavins got beat tonight. If you were a Cowboy fan, would you be happy with a punt on 4th and short at midfield? I probably wouldn't.
Boise State drive
Jeremy Avery Time is the new Jarvis Hodge Time. On the play where Avery breaks one of the first tackles for him this season, he coughs it up right to a Boise State lineman. But still. Michael Coughlin's 3rd down pass play was doomed as soon as Coughlin entertained the idea of scrambling for the 1st down. He didn't make it. Punt.
Wyoming drive
Boise State gets off the field with some really strong play on 3rd and short and 4th and short from its backup defense. Michael Atkinson was eating space on at least a couple of those runs.
Boise State drive
Jarvis Hodge and Matt Kaiserman clean things up with some good, hard running on what should be the Broncos' final drive. Joe Southwick is in at quarterback. Hodge finishes the drive with a TD run. Good win for the backup offensive line and backup skill players driving down the field like this.

Couple thoughts about the game…
Great win for the Broncos. I don’t care what anybody else says.
That was the worst commentating crew EVER!!! They made Mark Johnson and Tom Scott look like commentating legends. In fact, the entire broadcast was terrible. I could not even count how many times they cut back to the game in the middle of a play or threw meaningless stats on the screen.
Coach Pete is a great coach and all but I cannot stand how he always lets his foot off the gas. The team had basically packed up the bus and was back on the highway to Boise by the middle of the second quarter.
I was really impressed by the Wyoming fans. From what I could see, at least three-quarters of them were still there at the end of a blowout game. That’s more than Boise State can usually say at halftime of a home game.
I am the BSU Guru. I know everything and anything about BSU, just ask me. Although I may need a minute…and an internet connection.
i thought he pressed it more than usual.
i mean, the game was out of hand at halftime and he didn’t pull moore till the 4th? and then let them put up another TD?
i thought he took the style points seriously in this one.
Go, Orange! Go Big Blue!
Follow me for BSU football game chants @BSUChants.
fourth!
yeah I was kind of tired of hearing all this heisman commentary, mainly because its not the goal. I did however delight in the commentators mentioning the muscle hamster thing. I really enjoy seeing doug do his thing. This is what i dreamed of last year :)
Been smokin that Blue since '00
My thoughts...
Not only did we win in impressive fashion, but we also separated ourselves from Texas in the rankings – although Texas’ poor performance in Lubbock helped in that too.
The commentary was horrendous. Michael Coughlin was confused with Kellen Moore, Jeremy Avery was confused with Doug Martin. They thought that a penalty could be overturned on a review, and they even thought Boise State was wearing “bright green jerseys.” I guess that’s why they’re on CBS College Sports instead of the main network.
Boise showed up big early in this one, and basically pulled way away from Wyoming after that first field goal. Moore really helped his Heisman cause. Pettis looked as good as ever and Doug Martin showed his full potential. The defense got great penetration and forced turnovers and penalties, got timely sacks, and disrupted Wyoming’s gameplan. You could not ask for anything more out of this squad, they just delivered, plain and simple.
Pete is the best coach in college football right now, IMO, or at least one of the best, but every time he lets up near the end of games, he looks soft. We could have put up 60 on Wyoming tonight, and it would have helped us even more in the polls.
Regardless, I’m very happy about the way Boise performed in this one. Bleed blue!

- Sam Cassell
One would hope (in a rational society of cfb fans)
that people would see the halftime score of 31-0 and infer that BSU could have put up 60 if they wanted to.
Aaaaand monkeys will fly out of my butt.
Seriously though, looks more impressive than Texas’ 34-7, huh?
by hummerofdoom on Sep 18, 2010 9:14 PM PDT up reply actions
Not really. They look at that Texas score, and assume that Texas could have put up 60 points if it really wanted to.
You should know by now that "rational" and "college football" don't go together.

Thanks for the review comment...
I was practically shouting at the TV that they couldn’t do a replay to determine if the player got pushed or interfered with…I knew from the get-go that the replay was to determine if the ball was intercepted in-bounds. What a couple of numbskulls.

good point
offensive line also. Love seeing kellen with time to throw, and the backs with holes to run through. Its hard for me to believe we have bigger, stronger guys on the line than the opponents. I’d say pinch me, but i wont feel it. I’m currently wasted. GO BRONCOS!!!!!
Been smokin that Blue since '00
offensive line FTW
they opened HUGE holes for the RBs, and KM had all day on his passes. Everyone else was good too, but still.
And I think it definitely was PI, although, of course you can’t review that.
Taking the foot off the gas...
While it is frustrating that some games appear to be closer than they really were, I love that Coach Pete refuses to bow to the pressures of what the system calls for a team to pursue style points. Coach Pete is focused on getting the W, working on some things that might need cleaned up and then finishes with class. A fan base should never be dissatisfied with a 51-6 victory. Winning by sixty might impress voters, but that just shows how uneducated (football wise) that voters really are. Putting another 14 points on the board would not have meant the Broncos were any more dominant.
"...east and west is the problem, north and south the solution."
Speaking of class...
…did they bench Pettis after the celebration penalty? I was watching on an awful internet feed and could not tell if he ever got in again. I know they never threw his way again, but I couldn’t tell if he played any more snaps.
"...east and west is the problem, north and south the solution."
yes

My problem is...
That Coach Pete seems to actually run down the score. Poor play calls, terrible clock management, how do you explain that? They went from executing flawlessly until the middle of the second quarter to not executing very well at all for the rest of the game.
I am the BSU Guru. I know everything and anything about BSU, just ask me. Although I may need a minute…and an internet connection.
I'll give the coaching staff a pass on the play calling
They call plays just to see how the defense reacts in order to set up plays later in the game. It’s just their style.

I feel bad for Pettis
He made a stupid mistake and Coach Pete benched him for the rest of the game.
Gotta be smarter than that Austin.
Pete is not gonna allow that sort of thing.
I have attended every home Boise State football game since 1992.
I don't feel bad for him
That is a sign of focusing on yourself instead of the team. Titus payed the price when he got cocky last year. I would think a senior who is supposed to be a leader would not showboat like that. I think Coach Pete sent him the message.

The game wasn’t affected by the penalty in any way. It’s hard not to get emotional on a big play like that. It happens. No big deal.

He
did put the ball in the defenders face in D.C.. But I like it. I understand it may be disrespectful but I thought it was awesome. If he did that against Oregon State, VT, maybe UNR he would not have been taken out the rest of the game. There is a time and a place for teaching lessons, up big on Wyoming is one.

florida resorts to "trick play"
urban meyer calls a fake punt and he’s a freakin’ genius. pete does it and it’s a gimmick and somehow diminishes the quality of a win.
re: bsu/wyo. i agree with others; that was the worst pair of commentators i’ve heard in a long time. their knowledge of the game was suspect from the kick off and especially when the interception in the end zone by boise state was being reviewed. they thought they were reviewing a pass interference issue instead of the possession issue? morons. and identifying boise state as oregon state at one point as the broncos were about to score a touchdown. imbeciles. and commenting that the broncos defense was spent, the players had their hands on their hips and were completely demoralized. hey, here’s an idea…watch the game knob!
good victory for the broncos. now let’s start thinking about a win over the beavers.

GOOD ON PETE
Don’t care that we didn’t hang 70 on the Cowboys, a comparison to Texas’s HOME game with them will do just fine with the voters.
Loved that the 2nd and 3rd teams played the 4th quarter. This type of game experience will pay HUGE dividens in the years to come. Maybe even later this year, hope it’s not needed though.

Agreed
50 was plenty. Even with the Broncos being more conservative in the second half, they were still dominating. Pete could have gone into victory formation at the very end but instead Hodge ran in for a touchdown.
"It takes no talent to give great effort" -Chris Petersen
right, exactly
BSU was more conservative in the second half, which they should have been, and continued to try scoring with the 2nd and 3rd stringers, again, which they should have. 50 is plenty, putting up Oregon numbers might be gaudy, but its not necessary, even for voters.

Putting up Oregon
Numbers is wrong. NM and Portland State? They outscored those teams 141-0… Why play both? I found them lacking class. I’m not a huge stinker about running up the score, but there is a reason NM is one of the worst in CFB, and why Port. St. is not D1.

Good god most of these comments sound as if youare in training to acquire your license to spew commentary from the hater journalist (the man). The goal is longevity through the season. Pete knows what he’s doing….please…. “easing off the gas pedal” how many possible injuries r you willing to risk for a few more points. Our caliber of play and win in the bag were established mid third quarter. Stop reading so many insecure scared of disruption of their comfy zone being threatened, “journalists” statements and embrace the functional working machine the broncs are!
Watching the Iowa-Arizona
game. Very similar situation to BSU-Wyoming (except, not a pick). The announcers clearly and repeatedly note that you can’t review/overturn a PI call, and that what is at issue is whether it is a completion or not. CBSC announcers: you should watch how these announcers call this game.

ohio state probably would have dealt with them if it had to come to that.
but agreed.
i feel that iowa is a bunch of frauds.

I loved Pettis' heart on the flip
(and the flip itself). he was excited and making a statement.
but i also loved Coach Pete sticking to his guns and benching his best receiver for the rest of the game. that showed class, and it showed discipline, two things Coach Pete is all about and two things he preaches. way to stick to your guns, Pete.
great game for us… kinda feel bad for Wyoming, but man did we look good tonight. can’t wait for next week’s game and Moore (see what I did there?!) DOUG SMASH!!!

I hope that was just a 3-quarter message… we’ll need Austin back for OSU!

what's interesting
and something i heard a listener point out on KBOI:
bsu tends to do pretty well against scrambling QBs. they scramble out of the pocket and try to make plays. then sack.
if bsu plays a pure-pocket qb? if he’s able to take advantage of the breakdown in the secondary?
could cause fits.

will be interesting to see....
we certainly are built to stop a mobile quarterback (after years of problems in that area) but we get pressure from all sides and up the middle. It’s not our secondary that is getting to the qb for the most part, its our d-line. So scrambler or not the dudes not going to have time to pick us apart….Plus I think as the season progresses we will be seeing some exotic blitz packages, our d is just getting used to this new moore (that is strangely fun) aggressive defensive play-calling!
On a side note, Gavins is my boy, but he needs to get better out there. I thought he would beat out Taylor but Taylor is clearly better…..that is my only concern with the defense.

Doug Martin...
Mancrush of the century. So he’s like a ‘large bowling ball’, ‘built like a pitbull’ and a ‘muscle hamster’. The hit he put on #24 when he thought he could stop Doug’s run… classic. He sat that fool down!
I didn’t even realize Pettis was ‘benched’. I just figured Coach was rotating in the other receivers. No harm no foul =/ If there had been a defender in the way and he flipped over him there would have been no call. NCAA is trying to take the fun out of sports. Just like what the NFL is doing. Half the time seeing the celebration is the fun part of watching scores!
And wtf was up with Samuels’ scramble and then throwing it across his body half way across the field and getting a key first down? C’mon secondary!
Secondary
I wouldn’t bag on them. Carta-Samuels threw that straight up in the air, Gavins(right?) played it well, the WR just played it better. Gavins looked back and probably didn’t realize the ball was that high and when he did it was too late.

late in the game
A reciever dropped a ball when he was wide open and would have scored….gavins was 5 yards behind him. I love me some gavins and want him to play well BADLY!!!

Wyoming fans
The fans las night in Laramie were awesome. They were just the right mix of sarcastic, fun, and not-rude. Of course, there were a couple exceptions, but that was just drunk farmboys yelling one word when they walked by…no worries.
The ONE thing that was disappointing was their lack of respect during the moment of silence for #12. Not one sound from any bsu fan around us, but the Wyoming student section was talking the whole time.
Overall excellent experience. Anyone have any bad experiences with any of their fans?

Watching on TV
all I could do was shake my head. They cut to a group of fans and one walked across the group and the camera waving his beer can in front of himself…
