SCOUTING THE OFFENSE: The Broncos were inconsistent and explosive on offense, which was apparent in each of their last two games of the regular season. They threw for more than 300 yards in the first half at Nevada, then threw three interceptions in the third quarter. They scored 13 points in the first half against Fresno State, then scored 41 in the second half. The key was the running game. When it worked, the Broncos were nearly impossible to stop. When it didn't, freshman QB Kellen Moore found himself under pressure too often.
SCOUTING THE DEFENSE: The Broncos might have been the most dominant defense in WAC history -- at least in terms of scoring. They held their WAC opponents to 67 offensive points in eight games, and they did it in an era of wide-open offense and crazy point totals. They did it with stingy play on third and fourth down, 31 turnovers and 34 sacks -- almost always coming up with the big play they needed.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "We thought we were in it going into the third quarter, and the thing just got out of control. I've never had a game get out of control like that." -- Fresno State coach Pat Hill, on the 61-10 loss to Boise State
