Boise State hosts Hawaii in Friday night WAC clash
Boise, ID (Sports Network) - Tied for second place in the Western Athletic Conference standings this week, the 15th-ranked Boise State Broncos make a stand against league foe Hawaii on the blue turf in Idaho.As the only undefeated program in the WAC in 2008, the only reason Boise State appears below San Jose State in the standings is because the Spartans have started off league play 2-0 and the Broncos are still only 1-0. Last weekend the Broncos, who are tied with BYU for the second-longest home win streak at 16 games, continued to dominate opponents with a 24-7 win against Southern Miss on the road. Aside from the squad's 37-32 victory against nationally- ranked Oregon on the road in September, BSU has held every opponent to a touchdown or less in 2008.
The Warriors stole the WAC regular season title from the Broncos in 2007, but the loss of so much of their offensive firepower has proven difficult to overcome. In the team's first two losses of the '08 season to Florida and Oregon State the squad was outscored by a combined score of 101-17, but has since seemingly found some level footing on defense. Last Saturday, Hawaii hosted Louisiana Tech and posted a 24-14 victory, a week after setting down nationally-ranked Fresno State on the road in overtime. "I couldn't be happier with the team," Hawaii head coach Greg McMackin said after the win versus LaTech. "We have a chance to be a real good football team. This team is coming together and they are playing for each other. I'm very humbled and happy to be involved with these guys."
Last season the Warriors picked up a 39-27 win at home in the final regular- season game of the season for the Broncos, a defeat that also left the home team with the conference title. Overall, Boise State has taken six of the previous nine games against Hawaii, dating back to 1996.
Quarterback Inoke Funaki threw for two touchdowns and ran for a third as he led the Warriors to a convincing win over Louisiana Tech at home last weekend. Funaki converted 14-of-26 passes for 224 yards, was sacked twice and intercepted only once, while also gaining 43 yards rushing on a team-high 12 carries. "Inoke Funaki played very good again tonight," coach McMackin noted of his young quarterback's development. Nick Rolovich has really helped Inoke with his throwing and it is showing. He is throwing the ball as well as he ever has. Inoke is starting to realize his potential and he is getting better and better."
The Warriors are slowly adding a running attack to their repertoire and should be pleased with the results after six games. No longer one of the worst running games in the nation, Hawaii is putting up 121.7 ypg on the ground, which is better than two other teams in the WAC this week. However, one area that needs some more attention is that of keeping Funaki standing upright. At the moment the Warriors are second-to-last and 114th in the country in sacks allowed with more than three per game, so no matter how much the young signal- caller continues to pick up the subtleties of the position, if he continues to be taken down he won't be much good later in the schedule.
Limiting the Bulldogs to just 14 points last weekend was only one of the bright spots for the Hawaii defense. The hometown squad also made sure that LaTech handled the ball for less than 24 minutes, including a mere 2:10 in the third quarter alone, and also clamped down on third-down opportunities, of which the Bulldogs converted just 2-of-15 on the night. Although he failed to earn the award this week, Desmond Thomas certainly had his name in the running for the league's defensive player of the week after recovering a fumble and returning an interception 24 yards for the victors.
A backup for every game this season, Thomas has just 14 tackles over six games which means the Warriors still rely heavily on guys like Solomon Elimimian and Keao Monteilh who lead the program in total tackles and interceptions with 43 and three, respectively. Were it not for Monteilh's picks, the Warriors would be in even worse shape than they are now when it comes to turnover margin, placing last in the WAC and 112th in the country with a mark of minus-1.17 miscues per contest. Giving up only two touchdowns to LaTech helped to balance out the program's scoring defense, yet the group is still permitting more than 30 ppg at this point.
Despite being held scoreless in the first quarter, the Broncos remained faithful that young quarterback Kellen Moore could get the job done against Southern Miss and that's exactly what he did. Moore, who made good on 16-of-20 passes for 144 yards in the first half, finished 21-of-30 and tossed three touchdowns. Running backs Jeremy Avery and Ian Johnson both recorded 56 yards on the ground, while Jeremy Childs collected a team-best 10 receptions for 92 yards and a score. Austin Pettis managed to take two of his four catches into the end zone.
Childs may lead the program with 24 catches for 309 yards and Pettis may be one of three receivers with a pair of TD receptions, but the beauty of this year's passing attack is that Moore doesn't appear to be playing favorites by any means. Of the team's 11 touchdowns through the air, eight different players have put points on the board, which means defenses have to be on their toes when anyone and everyone sets up out on the wing for the Broncos. Perhaps not as punishing as he once was, Johnson still leads the team with his 322 yards and four rushing scores.
As has been the case in recent years, while the Boise State offense tends to get all of the attention, it is the defense that keeps the program going strong. Against Southern Miss the unit held the home team to just 5-of-15 on third down and did not allow the Golden Eagles to convert one of their four fourth-down plays. Ellis Powers posted a game-high 10 tackles, two of which were for loss and one against the quarterback, while Ryan Winterswyk accounted for the other two sacks for the Broncos on just three total stops.
Typically, at least during the June Jones era, opponents of the Warriors had to worry about one thing and one thing only, a relentless passing attack. However, this year a new coaching staff seems to be putting their signal- caller in a position to gain some yards on his own, and that's something that BSU head coach Chris Petersen is quick to recognize. "I think they're smart, they're playing to their strengths. Funaki is a very good runner."
With the Broncos ranked fourth in the conference and 62nd in the nation in stopping the run with 136.2 ypg allowed, the Warriors could cause some minor disruption on the ground. However, in the overall picture few teams are as tight as Boise on the defensive side of the ball, the group limiting opponents to a mere 11.2 ppg (seventh nationally).
