Boise State Extends Winning Streak to 14 Games
I was sold on this team after last year's Fiesta Bowl miracle. That was the best football game I have ever seen. I'll never forget the two trick plays, especially the statue of liberty that won the game. Those plays rarely ever work -- Boise State slew Goliath with amazing execution. So I am now both a Bronco and a Bengal fan. Weber State, BSU's opponent last night, is on our ISU schedule. So their performances may shed some light on what we will face (or not face). The Bengals play Weber in Ogden on November 3.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) - Yes, Boise State ran a trick play.
Coming off an undefeated season, the No. 24 Broncos ran their winning streak to 14 games — the longest in major college football — and even dipped into the bag of tricks that helped them upset Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl last season, beating Weber State 56-7 on Thursday in the season opener for both teams. Ian Johnson ran for 129 yards and three touchdowns and Taylor Tharp was steady in his first start at quarterback, leading Boise State to touchdowns on its first seven possessions and a 49-0 lead at halftime. But the first touchdown had everybody remembering that night in January. Wide receiver Vinny Perretta, who threw for a score in the Fiesta Bowl, lined up at quarterback on third-and-goal from the 7 and ran up the middle for a touchdown. "I was surprised how well they executed on both sides of the ball," said second-year Boise State coach Chris Petersen. "With as many new guys as there were getting into the mix, I was surprised how well they came out." 0 comments from 0 users
