BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Kellen Moore and the other starters on No. 2 Boise State’s high-flying offense have gone a month now without playing a single down in the fourth quarter.
Because the Broncos have been jumping out to big, early leads the last three games, Moore has routinely traded his helmet in for a headset and joined the other starters on the sidelines before breaking a second-half sweat.
Undefeated Boise State (6-0, 2-0 Western Athletic Conference) was idle Saturday as the schedule makers offered a little extra rest before Tuesday night’s matchup with Louisiana Tech (3-4, 2-1) at Bronco Stadium.
Having the time off didn’t cost the Broncos any ground in the latest polls, but it didn’t produce any gains either.
