Petersen has been one of the hottest head coaches over the past few years but has turned down all prospective job offers.

He said he is very happy to be in the position that he is in, but had to think about Stanford because it is a special place.

Stanford has an opening at head coach because Jim Harbaugh left to take a job with the San Francisco 49ers.

Petersen’s name has come up for other jobs this offseason as well, but he hasn’t expressed any interest.

The Broncos trailed 3-0 until they finally busted through midway into the second quarter to take a 16-3 lead by halftime.

With the win, Boise State likely assurred themselves of finishing the year ranked inside the top 10.

After getting stomped by the Broncos, Utah came away impressed and believing Boise State belonged among the top teams in the nation.

Quarterback Kellen Moore finished with 339 yards and two touchdowns but admitted his team came out sluggish.

Kyle Brotzman, the sure-footed kicker, missed two field goals inside of 30 yards to finish off the collapse.

Boise State lead 24-7 at halftime, and it seemed like a tough road game was about to turn into another rout.

Quarterback Kellen Moore certainly wasn’t the problem, as he threw for 348 yards and two touchdowns.

The Broncos will not go to a BCS bowl now, and will likely be relegated to playing in one of the least prestigeous games.

Boise State knew coming into the game that it could have its hands full with a talented Hawaii team.

At the same time, they knew it might be their last chance to really impress pollsters against a decent team.

The Broncos steadily increased their lead throughout the game until going up 42-0 at the start of the fourth quarter.

Quarterback Kellen Moore had a monster game, throwing for 507 yards and three touchdowns. He also tossed two interceptions.

The Broncos put up 17 points in each of the first two quarters to take a 34-0 lead into the locker room.

For the game, Boise State put up double-digit point totals in the first three quarters to dominate from start to finish.

Quarterback Kellen Moore threw for 370 yards, two touchdowns and an interception before he was removed from the game.

Three different Boise State running backs crossed the goaline and two different receivers caught touchdown passes.

The Broncos dominated much of the first half before Virginia Tech started to gain some momentum.

The second half was close the entire way, with Boise State’s defense having to stop Virginia Tech’s final drive.

Quarterback Kellen Moore only threw for 215 yards, but he was efficient in tossing three touchdown passes.

Wide receiver Austin Pettis had a big day, catching six passes for 73 yards and two touchdowns.

The Broncos will take on the Virginia Tech Hokies at FedEx Field, essentially a road game for Boise State.

The team believes they are once again a national championship contender, and their high preseason ranking gives them a better chance than in past years.

Of course, a loss in the season opener, or anytime during the season for that matter would immediately dash any title hopes.

Boise State has a great chance to pull out the victory because of their tough defense and quarterback Kellen Moore, a Heisman Trophy candidate.

However, he is sticking to his idea that the Broncos should no longer travel up to Idaho to play them in football.

Kustra believes the hatred coming from Idaho toward the Boise State program and school is ridiculous.

He understand that the two schools are rivals but doesn’t think Boise State needs to be attacked so viciously by Idaho.

Idaho had little to say about Kustra’s comments other than the fact they are sorry that he has such a negative view of the school.

The Broncos have been frustrated the past few seasons at their inability to land in the BCS championship game.

The school is hopeful that a conference change will increase their exposure and increase their strength of schedule.

All of that could mean a significantly better chance at a championship game berth if they go undefeated.

It’s one of the first of what could be many moves where teams switch conferences in the upcoming weeks.

There has been some concern from the blue turf nation that Petersen could soon head for greener pastures.

For now, it seems Petersen is more than happy being the toast of the town and rolling to double-digit win seasons.

He is 49-4 with three conference titles and two Fiesta Bowl wins in his four years as the head coach.

Speaking of the field, it was announced recently that Boise State will be getting a new blue turf for next season.
