Boise State coach Chris Petersen is usually a pretty even-keeled guy who doesn't often share his emotions with the media.But earlier this week, as he talked about last week's loss to Nevada that ended the Broncos dreams of both a BCS bowl and a potential shot at the national title, Petersen didn't pull any punches.
"Crushing," Petersen said of the way he took the loss. "There's no easy way around it. It's crushing. The entire team, the community, everybody, it's crushing. We had chances and couldn't get it done, a lot was at stake, and there's no easy way around it."
Boise State must regroup for this weekend's game against Utah State, which could extend the Broncos streak of WAC titles in their final year in the league. Boise State has won seven of the past eight WAC championships and has shared just one with Nevada in 2005. Hawaii, which lost to the Broncos earlier this year, currently leads the WAC with a 7-1 record, but will share the title with Boise State and Nevada if both win their games this weekend.
Boise State hasn't been through much hardship during the past decade, especially in the past couple years. Other than a loss to Hawaii in 2007, which cost the Broncos their only title since 2002, the Broncos have skated through conference play unscathed. In the past two seasons, Boise State's only loss has been a 17-16 decision to TCU in the Poinsettia Bowl.
