BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Boise State quarterback Brett Rypien etched his name in the Mountain West record books as the conference's all-time leading passer in both yards and completions. But the pro-style passer needed his feet almost as much as his arm to beat the nation's second-best scoring defense.

Boise State (7-2), which has now won three straight against the Cougars, leaned heavily on its defense to secure the victory. The Broncos registered seven sacks and nine tackles for loss.

The ceiling for teams outside the Power Five in the College Football Playoff race seems to be set pretty low — as any Central Florida fan will be quick to point out.

The Broncos will have the opportunity to make a lot of noise over the next two weeks beginning with Saturday night's game against Connecticut.
TROY, Ala. (AP) — Brett Rypien and Sean Modster delivered some early highlights for Boise State.

Rypien passed for 305 yards and four touchdowns, Modster had 167 yards receiving and Horton returned two second-half fumbles for touchdowns to lead No. 22 Boise State to a 56-20 opening victory over Troy on Saturday night.
Horton's reward: Time on the sideline "throne" for players who produce turnovers.
Brett Rypien is about to become a rarity in college football, a quarterback with the skill from the time of his arrival on campus to be the starter for the majority of his four years at Boise State.
He's won a conference title. He's won bowl games. Yet there was a time a year ago as a junior that his spot as the Broncos starter was being questioned by outsiders and challenged from within.
DENVER (AP) — Boise State could very well make this a memorable 20th season for the Mountain West Conference.

Boise State had committed two turnovers that were returned for touchdowns in the final minute of the first half, turning a 24-0 rout in the making into a competitive 24-14 contest and allowing Oregon back into the game.
Without any special speech from their head coach, the Broncos regrouped and responded.
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Boise State quarterback Brett Rypien struggled so much early in the season, he lost playing time to Kansas graduate transfer Montell Cozart.
