BOISE STATE FOOTBALL POST-GAME CALL-IN SHOW: In its first Pac-12 game in program history, Boise State (4-1, 1-0) jumped on Utah State with three quick opening touchdowns and cruised to a 37-18 victory Saturday night inside Albertsons Stadium. The offense was clean. The defense gave up explosive plays. It all seemed to work on a night where Boise State honored more than 40 players from its 2007 Fiesta Bowl team. Next week: At Fresno State.
