Boise St looks for more momentum vs. Idaho

Nov 17, 2007 - 12:01 PM Idaho (1-9) at No. 17 Boise St (9-1) 3:00 pm EST

BOISE, Idaho (Ticker) -- Boise State coach Chris Petersen does not have too many kinks to work out this week against Idaho.

Petersen's 17th-ranked Broncos look to get ready for Hawaii next week with a blowout Western Athletic Conference victory over the Vandals on Saturday.

Next week, Boise State (9-1, 6-0 WAC) visits No. 13 Hawaii for the conference championship. The Warriors are one of two undefeated teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision.

Last Saturday, Boise State crushed host Utah State, 52-0, to remain perfect in WAC play.

Taylor Tharp needed just three quarters to pass for 283 yards and two TDs for the Broncos, who have won eight straight games since a 24-10 setback at Washington on September 8. Tharp completed 26-of-29 passes in the rout.

Idaho (1-9, 0-6), which is tied with Utah State for last place in the WAC, has not defeated an upper-division team this season.

The Vandals absorbed their eighth consecutive defeat with a 28-16 setback to Louisiana Tech on November 3. Nathan Enderle went just 16-of-48 for 188 yards with three interceptions in the setback.

The last time the teams met here, in 2005, Boise State scored 70 points.
