GAMEDAY
WHAT: College football’s signature
show visits Boise for the first time
today in preparation for the No.
3 Broncos’ 6 p.m. game against
No. 24 Oregon State at Bronco
Stadium.
WHERE: The set will be located
on the blue turf at Bronco Stadium
and places for fans will be marked
clearly.
WHEN: Gates open at 6 a.m.
The show kicks off at 7 a.m. on
ESPNU with an hour-long show
hosted by Erin Andrews.
Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit, Lee
Corso and Desmond Howard take
over the set for their show from 8
to 10 a.m. on ESPN.
WHO: Fans will have to wait and
see who will be the celebrity
picker on Saturday. ESPN usu-
ally announces its weekly on-set

their winners and losers for select
games on Saturday.
WEEK 1: LSU vs. North Carolina
at Atlanta
WEEK 2: Penn State at Alabama
WEEK 3: Clemson at Auburn
WEEK 4: Oregon State
at Boise State
LOOK FOR: The Washington
State flag. The tradition started in
Austin, Texas in 2003 and contin-
ues today. At least one fan will fly
the 5-foot by 7-foot Cougar flag in
the crowd in front of the College
GameDay set. Washington State
graduate Tom Pounds started
the tradition seven years ago by
accident, when a fellow Cougar
graduate wanted to get exposure
for the Washington State program
on college football’s premier
pregame show. Pounds was left
alone to fly his flag, made by his
late mother.
Today, Nampa native Mary Beth
Prince, Pounds’ sister, will con-
tinue the custom prior to Boise
State’s game against Oregon
State.

No. 3 Boise State
once again in college
football’s forefront
By Dave Southorn

BOISE — For the most part, the
Boise State Broncos have seen this
before.
Less than three weeks ago,
they were facing a nationally-
ranked team with a big television
audience. They hosted Oregon at
home a year ago. They’ve had the
national media come through since
fall camp started.
Then again, today’s game has
something a bit new — ESPN’s Col-
lege GameDay is in town, and the
Broncos also will appear on ABC na-
tionwide for the first time in school
history.
“I think it’s exciting, it’s a rare
opportunity,” Boise State quarter-
back Kellen Moore said. “You’re
aware of that, you’re aware of the
stage you’re going to be playing in
front of.”
Considering the multitude of
factors with the No. 3 Broncos’
battle with the No. 24 Oregon State
Beavers, and it’s no wonder some
have called it the closest thing to a
Super Bowl the city of trees will ever
see.
In addition to the national attention,
there’s the fact the Beavers are only the
second ranked team to come into Bronco
Stadium, and that the Sept. 25 home opener
is the latest for Boise State since becoming a
four-year school 42 years ago.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2010 • Idaho Press-Tribune
BRONCOBITES
n Kellen Moore needs two
touchdown passes to surpass
Tony Hilde’s 70 career TD
passes for third in the Bronco
record books. Another 200-yard
game would put Moore in third
place with his 25th such game.
With 29 completions, he'll
surpass Hilde for second-most
in BSU history.
n Boise State’s 53-34 win in
Boise on Sept. 10, 2004, over
Oregon State, was the Broncos’
first regular-season win over a
team from a BCS conference.
The teams’ first meeting, a 34-3
Boise State loss in Corvallis on
Oct. 25, 1986, was the Broncos’
first game against a Division I-A
team.
n Six Broncos hail from Oregon:
OL Bronson Durrant (Eugene), K
Trevor Harman (Beaverton), QB
Grant Hedrick (Independence),
TE Gabe Linehan (Banks), FB
Dan Paul (Boring), and K Jimmy
Pavel (Molalla).
n Danny Langsdorf, Oregon
State’s quarterbacks coach and
offensive coordinator, was a
quarterback at Boise State from
1991-93, lettering once before
he decided to transfer to Linfield
(Ore.). Oregon State head coach
Mike Riley was born in Wallace.
FIVEKEYS
For Boise State
1. Not Mr. Rodgers’ neighborhood.
Boise State’s rush defense has been
stellar thus far, but will get a big test
from 5-7 Jacquizz Rodgers. The
Beavers are 13-2 when he eclipses
100 yards on the ground.
2. Crash Katz. It will only be the
third start of Beavers QB Ryan
Katz’s career. His first road test
was against TCU, which blitzed
him often. He completed only
36 percent of his attempts in the
loss, and memorably punted a
ball out of bounds for a safety.
3. Keep it horizontal. With the
strong-armed Katz and WR James
Rodgers, the Beavers like to throw
it deep. If the Bronco DBs can
keep the action in front of them,
they can keep OSU at bay.
4. Protect your assets. The BSU
offensive line will be tested by a
stout OSU D-line. The still-jelling
Broncos will need to be on the
same page all day.
5. Special teams stoppers.
James Rodgers is one of the
nation’s best return men. Giving
the Beavers good field posi-
tion will put the Broncos’ backs
against the wall and enable his
brother to seek out the end zone
and let Katz use play-action.
Boise State coach Chris Petersen has guided the Broncos to big-game wins, including two Fiesta Bowl championships and this year’s
season-opening victory over then-No. 10 Virginia Tech on Sept. 6 in Landover, Md.
BSU: Spotlight no longer a rarity
Continued from the front
“More than anything, I’m excit-
ed to be back home,” nickel Hunter
White said. “That other stuff is cool,
but just being at Bronco Stadium,
with our fans, that is what will get
us geared up the most.”
Many saw Labor Day’s game
against Virginia Tech in Landover,
Md., far closer to Hokie country
than Bronco nation, as Boise State’s
biggest test. There remains a large
contingent that believes today’s
game is the final hurdle to an unde-
feated season, and maybe a national
championship appearance.
Naturally, that means beating an
Oregon State team that exactly two
years ago beat then-No. 1 USC.
“It seems like all these games
are big games,” Boise State coach
Chris Petersen said. “The next
one is always just as big. We have
a tremendously tough opponent
coming in, and that’s what really
changes things.”
Part of the reason the Broncos
have been successful in big games
COLLEGEGAMEDAY
in recent years (2007 Fiesta Bowl,
2008 at Oregon, last season’s con-
test against Oregon and the Fiesta
Bowl), is their ability to focus on
the task at hand, not what lies
ahead.
“For me, and probably the whole
team, we’re so used to our routine
and what we do every week, we
don’t really pay attention to the
buzz,” offensive tackle Nate Potter
said. “It’s only different because it’s
a home game, and that brings a dif-
ferent aspect to it. We’re approach-
ing it the same way we have the last
couple years.”
Playing games in the spotlight
is no longer a rarity for the Bron-
cos, and is the same case for the
Beavers, who opened with a 30-21
loss to now-No. 4 TCU in Dallas on
Sept. 4.
“I don’t think this will be a major
difference or a big surprise for our
team,” Oregon State coach Mike
Riley said. “That’s kind of the goal.
I think you learn to handle it, play
and focus despite everything that’s
going on around you. That’s the
AP
way we want our program to be,
and to be considered anyway. The
more that becomes commonplace,
the better it is for your players.”
Being able to block out the out-
side noise may have been somewhat
easy to do when playing on the
eastern seaboard, but with all the
attention solely on Boise this week-
end, it’s a different scenario. Even
then, Petersen said it comes down
to dealing with the distractions just
the same, no matter where or when
the game takes place.
“It’ll be the next step in this
team’s development, how they
handle being at home and all those
other things,” he said.
The Broncos will opt to let the
thousands of fans in and around
Bronco Stadium get psyched up
about the spotlight, instead choos-
ing to focus on the 100 or so play-
ers on their sideline and the 70 or
so on the opposite one.
“All we can worry about is Or-
egon State, and ourselves,” receiver
Tyler Shoemaker said.

national media outlets are
in the Treasure Valley this
weekend for one last look
at the Broncos, even if it is
early in the season, to see if
they are truly a national con-
tender and a team worthy of
becoming football’s version
of Butler basketball.
Howard thinks they are.
He’s championed for the
Broncos before the season
started, recognizing that
with 20 of 22 starters return-
ing from last season’s 14-0
team, they are experienced.
“I like Boise State
because I think they’re a
complete team,” Howard
said. “They’re a team, I don’t
care who you put them on
the field against, they have a
very strong chance of win-
ning that game.”
Boise State will have to
once again win every game
this season if it is going to
continue to remain in the
national title hunt. Today,
he national spotlight is once
again on the Broncos. All
eyes are on the blue turf
today.
They can’t afford to sit
back and relax.
