BOISE, Idaho -- Boise State has a long way to go if it wants to crash the New Years Six bowl party, but the Broncos did what they needed to do Saturday night to check off another win and keep its early-season momentum rolling.Jeremy McNichols accounted for 226 all-purpose yards, including 132 yards rushing and a 61-yard touchdown reception, to lead No. 24 Boise State to a 21-10 victory over Utah State.Having (McNichols) on the field is fantastic, Boise State quarterback Brett Rypien said. He can do so many different things because hes strong in a lot of different areas.McNichols offensive prowess was on full display Saturday night, but he was almost overshadowed by wide receiver Cedrick Wilson. Wilson threw a touchdown pass to McNichols and hauled in a 36-yard touchdown pass from Rypien.The Broncos (4-0, 1-0) led 7-3 at halftime before taking control in the second half with a pair of touchdown passes by Brett Rypien and a stout defensive performance.I think there were some demons we needed to exorcise, especially on the offensive side of the ball, and we did that, Boise State coach Brian Harsin said, whose team lost 52-26 last season to Utah State. But when your defense plays well, thats always exciting. I certainly get fired up when we play well on defense like we did tonight.McNichols, who was named the Mountain West Conference offensive player of the week for his performance against Oregon State, continued to power the Broncos.His 61-yard touchdown reception on a pass from Wilson gave Boise State a 7-0 lead in the first quarter.

After the Aggies offense stalled in the red zone, Brock Warren pushed a 32-yard field goal attempt wide left just on the final play of the half.What hurts you is you miss thaat field goal and you know its going to come back to haunt you, Wells said.dddddddddddd. And sure enough, it came back to haunt us.With leading rusher Devante Mays out with a right knee injury, Utah State struggled to mount any sustained drives on offense.

Back-to-back losses to division front runners Air Force and Boise State along with a remaining tilt with San Diego State puts a serious dent in Utah States hopes of emerging out of the Mountain Division and playing in the conference title game.Boise State: The Broncos took a big step toward solving their second-half woes, which has been a point of emphasis for Harsin. Against both Washington State and Oregon State, Boise State was outscored in the second half and struggled to maintain its big lead.
