Nevada's 'pistol' targets Boise St. for WAC title (AP)

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 07:59:55 PST

In January 2005, coach Chris Ault told his assistants he was going to install a concoction he dubbed the "pistol." He wanted to dramatically alter Nevada's pass-happy, shotgun offense that had just produced a losing season. Ault is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame. He is as much a fixture in Reno, Nev., as slot machines and the Arch.

Moore, Kaepernick fluster foes in different ways (AP)

Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore flusters foes with his sniper-like arm, his knack for finding the open guy anywhere on the field and just plain outwitting defensive coordinators. His Nevada counterpart gives defenses fits in different ways. Colin Kaepernick is elusive, fast enough to beat linebackers around the edge and unafraid to use his legs to flee a collapsing pocket.

For the second time in three years, ESPN has successfully scheduled an unofficial WAC championship game.

Boise State will take on Nevada on Friday night at Bronco Stadium. If Nevada wins, the Wolf Pack win the outright WAC title. If Boise State wins, the Broncos clinch at least a share of their seventh WAC title in eight years. They would need to beat New Mexico State to wrap up the outright title.

"This kind of defines our season," Boise State wide receiver Austin Pettis said.

The Broncos played in a similar game two years ago at Hawaii. The Warriors prevailed—ending the Broncos' five-year WAC reign.

Nevada is a similar threat this year. Like Hawaii, the Wolf Pack enter this game with a red-hot offense—rushing for 445.6 yards per game during an...

Martin leads Boise State in blowout (AP)

Kellen Moore didn't need to throw his usual three touchdown passes. All the Boise State quarterback had to do was hand it off and watch Doug Martin and Jeremy Avery go. Martin ran for four touchdowns, Avery ran for two more and both topped 100 yards rushing to help the sixth-ranked Broncos remained unbeaten and in BCS contention with a 52-21 win over Utah State on Friday night.

Boise State tight end Richie Brockel is expected to miss the rest of the season with a foot injury.

Boise St. QB Kellen Moore: Heisman hopeful? (AP)

Kellen Moore grew up in sparsely populated central Washington. Now he is out here in Idaho, still way off Broadway. No wonder he has never been to New York. That may change next month. Boise State's ruthlessly quiet gunslinger can't do much more to put himself into consideration for the Heisman Trophy, which will be awarded next month in Manhattan in front of a handful of invited candidates.
