The Broncos are coming off a dominant-everywhere-but-

the-scoreboard win over Tulsa, and Hawaii is licking its
wounds after a demoralizing loss to Idaho. Both teams
need a win, but only one will get it (hint: it won’t be
Hawaii). Will Saturday’s game keep our attention past
midnight or will McMackin’s Warriors get lei’d out early?
We’ll know the answers to these pressing questions at 9
PM on Saturday, but in the meantime, there’s a lot to be
learned about this week’s foe (don’t worry, Kellen Moore
already knows their defense intimately)...so let’s all give
the Rainbow Warriors a closer look through the magic of
factoids and childish jokes. It’s time to get to know your
enemy, Bronco Nation...so take notes

Ten things Bronco fans probably didn’t know about Hawaii or their litter-strewn lair
10) In 1926, Hawaii coach Otto Klum’s squad scored 101 points twice against opponents “Field Artillery” and “Heilani AC”. Interestingly,
101 points is what June Jones’ 2007 squad would’ve scored on San Jose State, had field conditions not been so poor.

9) The University of Hawaii’s motto is Ma luna a`e o nà làhui a pau ke ola ke kanaka, which means “Above all nations is humanity” in the
Hawaiian language. It also means “Your mother has a smooth forehead” in Klingon.

8) In 1923, after defeating Oregon State on Moiliili Field, a rainbow appeared, causing local reporters to start calling the UH football
team the “Rainbows”. Hawaii fans are eternally grateful that reporters didn’t see a dog peeing right after that game as they were an awfully
impressionable lot. Hawaii teams were known as the “Rainbow Warriors” until they dropped the “Rainbow” from their name and logos in
2001 (only 23 years after it became a symbol of the gay pride movement...way to get right on that)

7) The official University of Hawaii magazine is called Malamalama. If you feel like browsing their archives, you might want to check out
the December 2002 issue of Malamalama that featured an interview with the Dalai Lama and Lorenzo Lamas, and a fascinating look at
indigenous Llamas in the Bahamas.

6) The University of Hawaii won the 2004 Intercollegiate Sailing Association National Championship. The championship trophy resides in
the “Championship trophies that no one knew existed” case.

5) The Medical School of the University of Hawaii, the John A. Burns School of Medicine, is ranked 12th in the nation for geriatrics. Now
you know why Dick Tomey and Chris Ault visited the campus in the offseason.

4) Departed star wideout Davone Bess (now with the Miami Dolphins) was
recruited by June Jones’ henchmen while serving a 15-month sentence at a
juvenile facility. Why June Jones had recruiters lurking at prison-sponsored
flag football games is obvious to anyone who’s ever watched The Longest
Yard.

3) Hawaii running back Thomas Kaulukukui’s number (32) is the only

number to date that has been retired by the UH football program.
Kaulukukui, whom legendary sports writer Grantland Rice dubbed “Grass
Shack”, was only 5’4” and weighed a whopping 145 lbs. In a 1935
game against UCLA, Kaulukukui returned a kickoff 103 yards for a
touchdown...probably by running through defenders’ legs and set to the
music of Yakety Sax.

2) UH Head Coach Greg McMackin authored a book, titled Coaching

the Defensive Backfield, that is currently in its 7th printing. The book
apparently depreciates in value rapidly as a new copy will run you
upwards of $120 dollars and a used copy will set you back about a
buck and a half. McMackin’s newest tome, Big Mack’s Guide to Public
Speaking, was scheduled for a summer 2009 release but was put on hold
for some reason.

1) Singer/Actress Bette Midler attended the University of Hawaii. Did you

ever know that Timmy Chang was her hero, as well as everything she
would like to be? A Chang we can believe in.

 Opponent preview: What is the best case scenario for UC Davis
against Boise State?
by Kevan Lee

Boise State has been winning handily in the boxscore, but not so much on
the scoreboard as of late. Red zone offense, I’m looking at you. Will all that
change when the Broncos visit Hawaii on Saturday (9:00pm MT, KTVB)?
Bone up on the Warriors and see why this week might be Boise State’s best
chance to punch it in with fair regularity inside the 20. Feel free to leave
your own keys to the game in the comments.
Not much has changed in Hawaii over the years, other than a
sharp decrease in the newborn boys being named Colt and June.
They’ll still pass until it is no longer feasible to do so. And then
they’ll pass some more. As they say in Hawaii, “Mele kalikimaka,”
which I believe means “He’s open, throw him the ball. Oh, not you,
Inoke Funaki.”

What Hawaii did last week Hawaii on defense

L at Idaho, 35-23 • DE Elliott Purcell
• DT Rocky Savaiigaea
The Warriors went to Moscow in hopes of turning around their
• DT Tuika Tufaga
season and ending the Wizard of Oz-like shroud of competency
• DE John Fonoti
around the Idaho program. But in the words of Lee Corso, “Not so
• LB R.J. Kiesel-Kauhane

• LB Mana Lolotai
• LB Blaze Soares
Hawaii allowed Idaho RB Demaundray Woolridge to pile up four
• CB Tank Hopkins

• CB Jeramy Bryant
Bryant Moniz, Hawaii fell to 2-4, meaning more face time for
• S Richard Torres
that Washington State win once the season review DVD hits store
• S Spencer Smith
shelves.

What Hawaii has done so far this season
The WSU game in Seattle was probably the Hawaii highlight. You
never want to peak too early, but sometimes it is better to peak too
early than to not peak at all. At this point, that looks like the case
for the Warriors. Following injuries to top passer Greg Alexander,
top defender Brashton Satele, and almost-top WR Rodney Bradley,
Hawaii is looking at a lost season and the very real possibility of
missing out on their bowl game birthright. Hawaii has to go 5-2
over its remaining games, which would involve upsets over two of
the following: Nevada, Boise State, Navy, and Wisconsin. In the
words of Greg McMackin, “Please don’t print that.”
Hawaii on offense
• WR Greg Salas
• WR Kealoha Pilares
• WR Jovonte Taylor
• WR Joe Avery
• OT Austin Hansen
• OG Raphael Ieru
• C John Estes
• OG Ray Hisatake
• OT Aaron Kia
• QB Bryant Moniz
• RB Leon Wright-Jackson
The Hawaii offense is not without serviceable parts. Estes is one of
the best linemen in the WAC. Salas leads the league in receiving
yards (by a lot). Up until the Greg Alexander injury, offense was not
Hawaii’s problem, and it wasn’t all that culpable last week against
Idaho either.
The Hawaii defense returned exactly two players from last year’s
unit, and then exactly one of those returning players got injured.
Attrition, thy name is Greg McMackin cosmic gayness justice.
Now the Hawaii defense is getting by on a wing and a prayer.
Prayers were answered against Wazzu when the Cougars coughed
up the ball seven times; the bounce hasn’t been so fortunate for
Hawaii since then as they have just one TO in the past three games
(hmmm, sound familiar?). Third downs are starting to be a problem,
too, as the Warriors are allowing teams to convert better than half
the time.
Hawaii on special teams
• P Alex Dunnachie
• K Scott Enos
• PR Greg Salas
• KR Kealoha Pilares
• KR Jovonte Taylor
Hawaii’s KRs and PR are dangerous threats. A good Kyle Brotzman
rugby punt and bloop kickoff ought to fix that.
Hawaii’s red zone defense
During Hawaii’s current four-game slide, the TDs that the Warriors
have given up have mostly been right near the goalline. Check it
out:
• Five of Fresno’s six TDs came inside the red zone.
• Three of Idaho’s five TDs came inside the Hawaii 10-yard-line.
• All three of LaTech’s TDs came on runs inside the Hawaii 10.
• Four of UNLV’s five TDs came inside the red zone.

3 continued on page 4
 Part of the problem is that Hawaii struggles in run defense and on
third downs. The Warriors are in the bottom half of the WAC in run
D, and their 52 percent 3rd down conversion rate on defense is just
plain not good. Allow a team to move the ball on the ground inside
your own 20, and give them as many opportunities as possible to
punch it in, and you’re bound to struggle in red zone defense.

Boise State’s red zone offense

I know I don’t have to tell you how blah the Broncos have been
inside the opponent’s 20. So I’ll let the numbers do the talking.
Boise State has made six trips inside the red zone for no points, and
13 trips for no touchdowns. But it doesn’t stop there...

Get BIFFF in here!

A fun BIFFF stat courtesy of my blogging peer at Yahoo!, Dr.
Saturday, is Wasted Yards, which is pretty much exactly what it
sounds like - yards gained that did not result in points. Put the kids
to bed if you don’t want them to see this. Boise State has wasted
710 yards this season. I cringe to think what that number looks like
including yards on short FG attempts. Other factors
Red zone offense will hardly be the only part of Saturday’s game
What has been the main cause of red zone woes? Part of it seems that makes a dent in the final outcome. Here are some other factors
to be an inability to convert third downs, especially on the ground that could come into play. Naturally, I’m leaving several out. Let me
and surprisingly through the air. know in the comments which ones you can think of.

On third down, Doug Martin and Jeremy Avery are a combined
5-for-14, averaging less than 2 yards per carry. Ironically, D.J.
Harper was 2-for-3 on third down, with both of his conversions
resulting in TDs. Cue a Mark Johnson malapropism!
In the midst of Kellen Moore’s Year To Remember, Moore’s
kryptonite of relativism is third down passing. He is otherworldy on
first and second down, hitting on 77 and 74 percent of his throws
respectively. But on third down? A Colin Kaepernick-like 56 percent.
On 50 third down passing attempts, he has converted first downs
only 20 times.
Can the Broncos win without being efficient in
the red zone?
You bet they can. They’ve done it for six straight weeks this season,
so winning inefficiently is fast becoming an M.O. Here are just a
few ways that the Broncos can steal one from the Warriors without
short, 20-yards-or-less TDs.
• Big plays. Like the one that almost happened with Titus Young
last week. I’m still mid-fist-pump, in case that matters to anyone.
• Dominant defense. I don’t think that winning 3-0 is what any
Bronco fan wants, but at least it would still be a win.
• Special teams. Seems like games against the Warriors always
have some sort of special teams bend. Blocked field goal for a
TD? A Kyle Wilson punt return TD? Titus Young or Doug Martin
on the kickoff return? You never know.
• Coaching. Coach Pete and his staff have finagled wins out of
this group all season long despite the lack of success in the
red zone. Here’s a question for you: Just how many TDs do
the Broncos need to get in the red zone in order to win on
Saturday? One? Two? Three? More than three?
• Diet Coke shortage. Greg McMackin would be coaching with
a heavy heart.
4
• Kellen Moore time in the pocket. Moore has proven this season
that when he has time to throw, all the problems of the world
go away. He is quarterbacking perfection when he is given
time to be so. Hawaii will rue the day it rushes four.
• No big plays on defense. The last time Boise State played a
WAC team, Ryan Mathews was given carte blanche on carries
that began at the Fresno 40-yard-line. Hawaii is hurting on
offense, but it still has playmakers who can turn a missed
tackle/assignment or two into a big gainer.
• Turnovers. Boise State has been on the wrong side of the
turnover battle in each of their last two games. If they make
it three-for-three, will they be lucky enough to escape with
another win? I wouldn’t bet on it.
• Playing in Hawaii. There’s just something about that place that
seems to bring out the most average in the Broncos.
Your turn
Red zone troubles will be on full display on Saturday night, and I
for one think that the Broncos will be able to get back on the red
zone track against Hawaii. The Warrior defense isn’t as strong as
in years past, and the Broncos will be coming in with an extra half-
week of preparation, which should balance out any island woes.
What are you looking forward to about this game? What keys
will you be watching? Interested to see how Bryant Moniz does
against the Bronco defense? Think Jeremy Avery is due for another
100-yard game?
 Boise State depth chart versus Hawaii:
Will the flu claim any victims this week?
Last week’s Tulsa depth chart had few surprises, but come gametime, the Bronco starting lineup was uprooted by several compromised
immune systems. Will this week be more of the same?

Take a look at what’s new and what’s notable on this week’s version of the Boise State depth chart. Break out those Nate Potter jerseys, and
join me.

Disclaimer: Depth charts mean as much as you want them to mean. Keep in mind that things change over the course of a game week and
that game situations, injuries, and performance will render some of this depth chart moot. Still, it’s fun to speculate ... with hyperbole! Nate
Potter for All-WAC LT!

 Which Bronco players will be out with the flu?
Last week, the flu struck starting OG Kevin Sapien and former
starting LB Derrell Acrey. This week, it has already claimed the full
practice participation of nine players, all of whom shall remain
nameless by local media who forgot to ask for details.
Will head congestion keep any Bronco regulars from making the
trip to Hawaii this weekend? More specifically, what players can
the Broncos not do without come Saturday? All I have to say is that
I hope Kellen Moore got his flu shot and that when the lady went
to put the needle in his arm, the needle bent in half because Kellen
Moore is made of reinforced steel and Lysol disinfecting wipes. Then
everyone partied.
Did Hunter White play himself into more playing time?
With Acrey running a fever back in the friendly confines of BSU
student housing, Hunter White took over MLB No. 2 duties against
Tulsa, making for the most non-blowout playing time White has seen
since the end of last season. How did you all think he looked?
Our new friend BIFFF saw some things to like and some things
not to like. White made two tackles on defense, both of which
prevented Tulsa from having a successful play (defined as 50
percent of needed yards on 1st down, 75 on 2nd, and all on 3rd or
4th). However, White also missed three tackles, bringing his team-
leading total to six.
So what do we all make of Hunter White? Before the season, most
Bronco fans thought he would be a starting linebacker, and we
all loved his tenacity and Korey Hall impersonations. But then J.C.
Percy happened. And then Daron Mackey. And Aaron Tevis and
Derrell Acrey, and before we knew it, White was sitting firmly at
No. 5 on the depth chart.
He’s been great on special teams and capable in spot LB duty, but I
simply cannot vouch for him over Mackey at this point. Who’s with
me?
Long live Austin Pettis as holder: Boise State’s two-point
conversion
Voted the greatest midseason strategy in this year’s OBies, the
two-point conversion tour de force struck again versus Tulsa for what
proved to be some very valuable points. Here’s how:
6 continued on page 7
To recap: Out of the huddle, the Broncos break into the swinging
gate formation (why it’s called a swinging gate is beyond me).
Brotzman lines up behind a wall of blockers to the left, which could
someday lead to a Brotzman screen or a Brotzman double pass.
Pettis stood in shotgun behind Chris Roberson with Kyle Efaw in
the backfield to Roberson’s left. Richie Brockel was living a dream
by lining up wide as an outside receiver. The snap was good, the
routes were good (Roberson was open, too, and Pettis may have
even been trying to throw his way), and the result was two points.
More of this, please.
Boise State likes to run the two-point conversion plays early on in
games, probably for a couple of reasons:
1. It helps build momentum.
2. It gives them plenty of time to chase points if they screw it up.
Hopefully we’ll get to see the Broncos try it out again versus Hawaii.
Any requests?
Brad Elkin, professional man of pooch punting
Making an appearance well before the game was decided and
in a surprisingly key punting role was none other than Brad Elkin.
Boise State’s only true punter came on twice for the Broncos with
the sole purpose of nailing Tulsa deep in their own territory with a
pooch punt. Elkin’s success? One-for-two. Something tells me that
the Bronco coaching staff will take that.
Nate Potter makes it official, only seven weeks after we
all thought it was a foregone conclusion
Potter supplanted Matt Slater on the Broncos’ depth chart this week
even though N-Potts has been starting regularly in Slater’s place for
the past couple games. Many Bronco fans would say they saw this
coming, since many Bronco fans fully expected Potter to start from
Day One. Either way, Boise State now has two very capable left
tackles on the team, which is a luxury that most schools only dream
about.
The dime formation that is more like a nickel and some
pennies
Here’s a question for you: Does Boise State ever go to four
defensive backs? The depth chart lists Wilson and Thompson as
starters with Gavins, Antwon Murray, and Garcia Day as backups.
But have you ever seen Murray and Day in the game when the lead
was anything less than 40 points?
I honestly can’t think of a time. So that means the Broncos defend
against obvious passing downs a lot differently than most teams,
and that they’ll be doing so once again this week against the
Greatest Show on Littered Turf this weekend.
Some keys to the Broncos’ “dime” pass defense:
• Winston Venable. He has proven very capable of filling the
underneath zone and holding receivers to short gains on
dump-offs.
• Jason Robinson. The former safety is more nickelback than
linebacker when he comes in to replace Venable. His cover
skills come in handy.
 • Cedric Febis. George Iloka’s backup saw some good PT when
Iloka was struggling with secret injuries. At this point, he would
probably be the first safety off the bench if the Broncos decide
to go with three.
• Travis Stanaway. Jeron Johnson’s replacement is most often a
special teams player, but he is another option for the Broncos.
• Zone. Boise State renders the need for extra DBs obsolete by
playing a confusing matchup zone that lets Thompson, Iloka,
and Wilson handle receivers down the field and Venable/
Robinson/LBs clean up on underneath routes. It’s worked for a
season-and-a-half, so no sense changing it now.

Doug Martin inches his way closer to “OR” status

Last year, Bronco fans were clamoring for Jeremy Avery to be listed
as 1A behind Ian Johnson. This year, the grassroots grumbling
seems to be in Doug Martin’s favor. Quick: Should Doug Martin get
more first quarter touches? Don’t think, just answer.

Kevin Sapien is definitely starting this week, maybe,

perhaps, we’ll see, game-time decision
Sapien has missed the past two games with a recurring neck injury
and the flu. Will he pull the trifecta this week and skip out on the
Hawaii game with a “personal matter”? I hope not. The Bronco
offense is better when he’s in the lineup.

End the Mitch Burroughs WR screen experiment

before it ends me
No matter how hard Bryan Harsin tries, he is not going to make
Mitch Burroughs into Vinny Perretta. So can we end this charade
before someone (me) gets hurt (by me)? I have evidence that the
constant Burroughs WR screens are not working:

Burroughs: 4 catches, 13 yards, 3.3 average, 7

pass targets, 1 drop, zero successful plays
Please make it stop.

Is Michael Atkinson’s ankle the season’s worst Boise

State body part?
It is certainly giving Matt Kaiserman’s head a run for its money.

Kirby Moore’s on the depth chart

Is that new?

Joe Kellogg or Brenel Myers: Who do you got?

Two weeks ago, Myers got the start in place
of an injured Kevin Sapien. Last week,
Kellogg took over for a sick Sapien. This
week, which one would you rather see if
Sapien goes AWOL again? I’d take Joe
Kellogg, if only because he’s halfway there
on his red Amish beard.

Magically delicious
