Focus Winter 2007 12 12 FOCUS WINTER 2007 the Broncos’ EPIC JOURNEY It started in December 2005 with Chris Petersen’s promotion from offensive coordina- tor to head coach and ended on New Year’s Day 2007 with a stunning and astounding 43-42 overtime win over Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl (pictured). FOCUS looks back at the 2006 Boise State football team’s 13-0 storybook season. (John Kelly photo) FOCUS WINTER 2007 13 yes, IT REALLY HAPPENED By Bob Evancho At times, it still seems surreal — as if what we watched unfold on the evening of New Year’s Day didn’t really happen: Did we just tie the game on fourth-and-18 from the 50 with seven seconds left? Did Vinny just hit “Shoe” with that TD pass? DID IAN REALLY JUST SCORE ON A STATUE OF LIBERTY TO WIN THE GAME?!

And by now, the adjectives B to describe that win and those moments have been exhausted. Weeks later, Bronco Nation has come back down to Earth. Since Boise State’s sublime 43-42 overtime win over Oklahoma in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, the mood of the Boise State faithful has slowly changed from unfettered exuberance to warm contentment, the kind that lasts for months. But in that afterglow of Boise State’s win in the Bowl Championship Series, its No. 5 ranking and 13-0 season, there are other points to ponder — aspects to the victory over the Sooners that may take weeks, months and even years to come to the fore and for us to fully appreciate. Boise State President Bob Kustra’s column on page 5 and the article on page 17 delineate some of the early benefits the university has enjoyed on the heels of the Broncos’ monumental season. But what about the more long-term repercussions? Could the 2007 Fiesta Bowl be Super Bowl III redux? Will the Broncos’ stunning win serve as the tipping point that eventually changes the way the BCS is structured — similar to aftereffects of the New York Jets’ 16-7 Super Bowl triumph over Baltimore in 1969? The Jets of the lightly regarded American Football League, led by star quarterback Joe Namath, were 18- point underdogs to the Colts of the NFL. But Namath led the upstart Jets to the win — an upset of historic proportions that validated the AFL and altered the landscape JOHN KELLY PHOTOS JOHN KELLY of pro football.

  • Rating the Packers Vs
    Rating the Packers vs. Vikings Vikings' weaknesses exposed in defeat Posted: Nov. 12, 2007 Green Bay - It took nine weeks but the Green Bay Packers finally played a game that wasn't settled until the fourth quarter. This one, a 34-0 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday at Lambeau Field, was over by halftime. Using exquisite game plans drawn up by Mike McCarthy and Joe Philbin on offense and Bob Sanders on defense, the Packers thoroughly outcoached Brad Childress, one of the coaches high on Ted Thompson's list to replace Mike Sherman 22 months ago. McCarthy is 16-9, best in club history after 25 games, and is headed for a new contract. Childress, 9-16, could be headed for a pink slip if owner Zygi Wilf has to watch another travesty like this in the final seven games. Here is a rating of the Packers against the Vikings, with their 1 to 5 football total in parentheses: RECEIVERS (3½) With Minnesota missing injured CB Antoine Winfield, the Packers had their way with what was left: CB Cedric Griffin, CB Marcus McCauley, nickel back Charles Gordon and veteran safeties Dwight Smith and Darren Sharper. McCarthy used three or more wideouts on 61 of 82 snaps (counting penalties) against a defense that stayed in a two- safety shell and tried to play coverage. Five wideouts combined for 20 receptions and 290 yards, a performance marred by four drops (two by Greg Jennings, one each by Donald Driver and Donald Lee). Jennings, with five drops in the last three games and six overall, made a circus 34-yard catch, adjusting better than Griffin and absorbing Sharper's best kill shot without flinching.

Relationships Between Athletic Success and Applications Abstract This study was conducted to see what relationship exists between markers of athletic success of NCAA Division I FBS football teams and college applications. There have been multiple studies in the past that have proven this theory to be correct. However, the goal of this study was to understand if these same results can be seen with members outside of the power five conferences. Using systematic sampling, 31 members of the MWC, Conference-USA, MAC, Sun Belt, and AAC were chosen for this study. The data was collected over a 3-year period from 2012-2014 for all athletic success variables, which were then examined with total applications and the change in applications from year to year to see what relationships exists.
