KELLEN MOORE, QB
Boise State
Moore was his efficient self
against Oregon State, notching
his 16th career game with three
or more TD passes. His passer
efficiency rating (168.14) is
ahead of 2009’s pace.
Next up: Today vs. New Mexico
State, 6 p.m.
Season stats: 62-of-95 passing
for 873 yards, 8 TDs and 1 INT.
HEISMAN HOPEFULS: FIVE EARLY FAVORITES FOR COLLEGE FOOTBALL’S MOST COVETED PRIZE
BRONCOBITES
n Boise State suffered a tough
loss Tuesday, when it confirmed
junior running back D.J. Harper
will miss the rest of the season
with a torn ACL. He suffered
the same injury last season at
Fresno State. Before being hurt
in Saturday’s win over then-No.
24 Oregon State, Harper had
160 yards on 18 carries. Senior
Jeremy Avery will likely be the
team’s No. 2 back behind junior
Doug Martin.
n In the last three meetings
between Boise State and New
Mexico State, the Broncos have
outscored the Aggies 149-7.
The Broncos are 10-0 all-time
against NMSU, including their
first win over a Division I-A
team as a I-A member, in 1996.
n Senior receivers Titus Young
and Austin Pettis are eighth and
ninth, respectively, in school
history in receiving yards.
Young has 2,158 yards, and
Pettis has 2,110.
n Nickel Winston Venable will
be suspended for the first half
of today’s game because of a
helmet-to-helmet hit against
Oregon State last Saturday.
The punishment was originally a
one-game suspension from the
WAC, but Boise State appealed,
reducing it to a half. Venable,
who has 11 tackles this season,
will be replaced by Hunter White
in the starting lineup.
FIVEKEYS
For Boise State
1. Business attire. The Broncos
are the clear favorite today, and
for good reason. Look at the
stats, you name it — an NMSU
win would be monumental. Look
for Boise State to treat it like a
business trip, take care of work,
and get back home happy.
2. Rush Christian. The Aggies
have yielded just one sack this
season, and if the Broncos can
get in inexperienced QB Ryan
Christian’s head, it will be a field
day for the defense.
3. Second-team time. If the
Broncos can get up big early,
it will allow some of the team’s
younger players to get some
good experience and keep the
starters well-rested.
4. Peanut butter. Avery (aka
“Peanut”) will see more snaps
with Harper out. Getting him
comfortable as soon as pos-
sible will be key to continue the
strong backfield rotation.
5. No letdown. Today’s game
couldn’t be more different than
last week’s. The Broncos will
need to create their own energy
in a likely quiet Las Cruces.
BSU: WAC games remain most important to Broncos
Continued from the front
“It is certainly a different
atmosphere sometimes, but
those 11 guys on the field are
really what matter, they’re the
most challenging part if there’s
15,000 or 85,000 people,”
defensive end Ryan Winterswyk
said. “There can be some long
travel days, but you have to see
the good side of it — I’m lucky
to play football and see these
places. How else would I ever
visit Louisiana or New Mexico?”
When asked about his team’s
continued success, Petersen has
often praised his players for tak-
ing it “one game at a time,” and
when asked about the BCS, he
says “it is out of our control.”
Put those two things to-
gether, and it is part of why the
Broncos have won the WAC title
seven of the past eight seasons.
One of the few things they can
control is their standing in the
conference at the end of each
COLLEGEGAMEDAY

The Buckeyes hung 73 points

year.
“The most important games
to us every year are our WAC
games, and that starts (to-
night),” tight end Kyle Efaw
said.
Sure enough, on a large
plaque in the team’s film room,
the first goal mentioned is to
win a WAC title, followed by a
win in a bowl game.
“It won’t change next year,
either — it’s always got to start
with taking care of home base,
which is the league you play
in,” Petersen said.
As Boise State has rocketed
to national prominence since
joining the conference, other
programs like New Mexico
State has struggled to rise from
the bottom of the Division I
ranks. The Aggies have not
played in a bowl in 50 years,
while Utah State has not played
in one since 1997. Even while
some programs have had dif-

ficult times lately, it provides all
the more incentive for them to
beat the Broncos, and in turn,
has helped Boise State bring its
best week in and week out.
“I like that WAC teams will
do anything to beat us, and that
really has prepared us for some
of the big games we’ve played,”
Winterswyk said.
The Broncos follow up
tonight’s game next week with
a home nonconference contest
against Toledo before finishing
with seven straight WAC games
to close out the season. With
a 3-0 start and two wins over
ranked teams, the Broncos have
taken care of business, and
now, their main task is at hand.
“We’ve met our goals so
far,” receiver Austin Pettis said.
“We’re going to have to try and
continue that going into the
WAC because that’s our main
focus every year. We have to set
the standard right away.”
DENARD ROBINSON, QB
Michigan
Robinson hurt his knee last
week and did not play after the
first quarter. He had five rushes
for 129 yards and was 4-of-4
passing when he left.

yards, 6 TDs; 57-of-80 passing,
731 yards, 4 TDs, 1 INT.

RYAN MALLETT, QB
Arkansas
Mallett leads the nation in
passing, but he threw two
critical interceptions late in a
loss to Alabama. He’ll need to
keep posting big numbers to
continue to be a candidate.

TE Gallarda has
scored eight TDs
on 23 catches
By Dave Southorn
dsouthorn@idahopress.com
LAS CRUCES, N.M. — Late
in the third quarter Sept. 18
at Wyoming, Tommy Gallarda
did something rare, by his stan-
dards.
On a second-and-7 from the
Cowboys’ 17, he caught a 15-
yard pass from Kellen Moore,
brought down at the 2. On the
next play, D.J. Harper scored
the touchdown.
For Gallarda, who has eight
career touchdowns on 23 ca-
reer receptions, it was more
reminiscent of his fellow tight
end Kyle Efaw, who has one
touchdown and 52 receptions
in his career.
“He was coming off the field
and I told him ‘you just pulled
an Efaw,’” Efaw said.
Used to being a threat to
haul in a pass in the end zone,
Gallarda got a taste of what his
teammate’s trials have been
like.
“I know how he feels now,”
Gallarda said, laughing.
At 6-foot-5 and 260 pounds,
Gallarda is an ideal target in
short yardage situations, and the
Broncos have used him accord-
ingly. The longest touchdown
of his career was a 21-yarder
against Nevada last season. Six
of his eight scores have come
on passes of less than 10 yards.
“He’s got that big body you
need to make those catches in
traffic down there, and he’s a
veteran guy, so he’ll make the
tough catches,” coach Chris Pe-
tersen said.
In last Saturday’s game, Gal-
larda caught a 6-yard touchdown
pass from Austin Pettis on a trick
play.
“He’s just a really reliable guy,
on and off the field,” Pettis said.
“You can always trust him.”
Gallarda is also known as the
team’s best blocking tight end,
but when he gets called on to
make a big play, he’s more than
happy to help.
“To be another part to help
this offense, that’s a pretty big
deal to me, because we have so
many talented guys, that if Kel-
len can count on me, that’s pret-
ty cool,” Gallarda said.

Last weekend’s home
game broke a Bronco Sta-
dium record with 34,137
fans in attendance.
The capacity of Aggie
Memorial Stadium is
30,343, but it’s unlikely to
reach that number.
The Broncos have not
lost in 10 games against
New Mexico State.
It’s easy for Boise
State to get up for the
big games with everyone
watching. But how will
the Broncos play when
the lights go dim and
crickets begin to break
the silence?
How will they play
when they are favored
to win by more than six
— yes, you read right, six
— touchdowns?
That’s with the extra
points. Boise state is a
43-point favorite. And
as they kickstart their
farewell tour through the
Western Athletic Confer-
ence tonight, they will
face let down on occa-
sion. That may not equate
to losses, but playing the
New Mexico State’s of
the world doesn’t exactly
create excitement on its
own.
Overall, what WAC
teams are you really excit-
ed to see Boise State play
this season? Nevada has
big wins and is ranked for
the first time since 1948.
Idaho is a rivalry game
and always creates its
own excitement.
Fresno State beat
Cincinnati, but the two-
time defending Big East
champs haven’t exactly
looked like world beaters
this season.
Boise State is the No. 3
team in the country and
plastered on the cover
of Sports Illustrated’s na-
tional edition this week.
Tonight, that same
team will kickoff at 6 p.m.
against a team that hasn’t
played in a bowl game
since 1960 and has been
outscored 124-47 already
this season.
The show came to
Boise State last Saturday.
Today, however, the
Broncos will have to
provide their own excite-
ment.
