The most challenging stretch of Boise States season comes just as the Broncos have returned to the rankings.Four games in just 20 days await the 24th-ranked Broncos, beginning with Saturday nights matchup against Utah State.Hosting the Aggies is the start of a hectic stretch that will largely determine whether Boise State (3-0) is in the conversation for a major bowl game at the end of the season. After hosting Utah State, the Broncos play at New Mexico next Friday; host Colorado State on Oct. 15 and five days later host BYU.Following its successful run through two Pac-12 schools, knocking off Washington State 31-28 and last week winning handily at Oregon State 38-24, Boise State is back to being focused on the Mountain West Conference.Thats what these three games have been about is getting into Mountain West play and we certainly start with a very good team, Boise State coach Bryan Harsin said.And there could be no better opponent for Boise State to start with than the one that a year ago handed the Broncos their most lopsided loss in conference play since 2001.That was last years team. That was last years group that played in that game. This is a different team, different group, Harsin said. Certainly guys played in that game but its a completely different team and all you can do is go back and learn from it and say that doesnt really apply to what were doing right now. You certainly dont want to see that repeated. You learn from it and you move forward.Utah States 52-26 romp in Logan last October was a dozen years in the making, snapping Boise States 12-game winning streak over the Aggies. Utah State (2-2, 0-1) forced eight turnovers, scored 21 points during an 85-second span, and handed the Broncos their worst setback in a conference game since a 2001 loss to Rice when they were in the WAC.If we wouldve taken a loss to Boise State last year, I would take it personally. So, I would hope that they would, too, Utah State wide receiver Andrew Rodriguez said. But any game, especially going there and playing them, its going to be an interesting situation. Its going to be a privilege to play there and I hope its going to be a great game.Here are things to look for when Boise State plays its first game as a ranked team since mid-October of last season:JEREMY SPOKE: Boise State running back Jeremy McNichols is coming off the best game of his career with 208 yards rushing and four total touchdowns last week against Oregon State. It was McNichols second straight 100-yard game after a slow start in the season opener against Louisiana.McNichols missed last years game at Utah State due to injuries.I think we missed him in the pass game and running the football, too. ... When one of your better players isnt in, that shows up, Harsin said.TURNOVER PARTY: Utah State would love to replicate what it did last year against Boise State, forcing a school record-tying eight turnovers. The Aggies forced five fumbles and had three interceptions after Boise State entered that game with just six turnovers on the season.This season, Boise State has committed five turnovers in four games.LEARNING PROCESS: Brett Rypien was far better protecting the football against Oregon State after some lax moments in the victory over Washington State. Rypien was 19 of 36 for 215 yards and a touchdown against the Beavers. In his start versus Washington State, Rypien threw three interceptions, including two in the fourth quarter that gave the Cougars a chance to rally.INJURY CONCERNS: Utah State could be down two of its top players due to injuries, one on each side of the ball. Running back Devante Mays had just two carries last week against Air Force before aggravating an existing leg injury. Safety Dallin Leavitt injured his ankle in the third quarter against the Falcons.Mays is the Aggies leading rusher, but most of his yards came in the opener against Weber State when he rushed for 208 yards and three touchdowns. Bob Gibson . -- There were so many positives from the Orlando Magics first victory of the season that it was hard for coach Jacque Vaughn to stop praising his players. Willie McGee . The showiest items on Calgarys lot were forwards Mike Cammalleri and Lee Stempniak. Both will be unrestricted free agents this summer. http://www.custommlbcardinalsjersey.com/custom-marcell-ozuna-jersey-large-1391q.html . On Tuesday, Ottawa placed forward Cory Conacher and defenceman Joe Corvo on waivers as trade rumours swirl around the Senators. Ken Boyer . Anthony Calvillo, through 20 CFL seasons, was frequently invincible and largely stoic in the heat of competition. But underneath the professional exterior he was, and is, compellingly human. Matt Wieters . The Browns coaching search remains incomplete. SUZUKA, Japan -- Daniel Ricciardo hopes Mercedes decision to go conservative with its engine settings at this weekends Japanese Grand Prix will create an opportunity for Red Bull to bring the fight to the championship leaders at Suzuka.The Australian won the Malaysian Grand Prix last weekend after Lewis Hamilton suffered an engine failure 16 laps from the end. In reaction to the failure, Mercedes is running revised parameters for its engine this weekend, including a more conservative oil specification.That could bring us closer, yes, absolutely, Ricciardo said. Forgetting what happened last weekend, coming into this race we always thought it was going to be one where we can probably have an advantage over Ferrari.And if it is wet sure we can get really close to Mercedes. I know that wet race in 2014 our race pace was really good. At the time we were a bit quicker than Mercedes in the race, and the deficit was bigger than it is now in terms of machinery. So we will be pretty racy. Dry conditions, qualifying, they will still have a little bit on us, but I think we will keep it within half a second.Asked why Red Bull has an advantage over Mercedes in the wet, Ricciardo addded: They probably have too much power! So traction and things like that they might struggle a little bit more.dddddddddddd It doesnt seem we have to work that hard to get a good car in the wet. In the wet you still need a good car, you still need to balance it.Normally in the past it just feels like if it rains then it doesnt matter what set-up we have in the car. Normally we have pretty good grip, so we probably just have a bigger window in the wet conditions. That is the obvious thing for me which stands out.After taking his first win since 2014 in Malaysia, Ricciardo is hoping to keep the momentum going this weekend.Since Silverstone I had not been on the podium for a while, and then in Budapest I got a podium, and since then I have had a podium at every race except Monza. So you could say I have had good momentum. It is probably just confidence.Momentum is another word for confidence. So I feel good now, absolutely, coming into this race with positivity. And if it brings another good result, we will just keep calling it momentum then! ' ' '
