Parents are getting some extra help this Halloween from Boise State sorority Alpha Xi Delta and fraternity Alpha Kappa Lambda. The two organizations will be collaborating in their yearly tradition of helping young trick-ortreaters cross the street safely. The fourth annual Halloween Watch will take place from 6 to
9:30 p.m. around Warm Springs Avenue. This mandatory event for all 53 members is one they look forward to every year. “Last year was my first year doing the Halloween Watch and I absolutely loved it. It was so much fun,” sophomore Alpha Xi Delta member Stephanie Pyles said. The sorority’s mission is to enrich the lives of each of its members and inspire them to realize their potential through servicebased work. Sorority members are actively
involved in various student programs and work together with other clubs on campus with whom they are also members. “We’re a lot about service ... we’re a sisterhood,” membership vice president Amberine Mowjee said. While the group focuses mostly on philanthropy work raising money for various organizations, The Watch is the number one community event that has become an annual tradition. The Warm Springs area and the surround-
ing intersections can get busy, especially around Halloween. Because it is a trick-or-treating hot spot with no traffic lights and because it’s near a school zone, the Greek orgs were prompted to choose this particular area. Members of AKL and AXD get geared up with bright orange vests, signs and flags to stop cars as they assist with helping the candy-crazed youngsters safely cross the street. “We try to hit up the bigger homes and areas with more traffic,” Amanda Khampha, three-
year member and sorority president, said. “There’s also a school, so we know a lot of the younger children will be walking the streets ... every single year we see more and more people walking around Warm Springs...Usually we have about 3 or 4 people around each cross walk and we wear bright construction vests, we make it very apparent that we’re there to help... every year parents are very, very thankful, a lot of them will come up to us and give us candy and thank us for helping.”
Students find contending with debt hard Cheyenne Perry Journalist The financial strain student loan debt causes has grown substantially in recent years. Whether at Boise State or New York University, students everywhere continue to suffer from the increased prices of a college education. And the problem of student debt has made news in more ways than one this year. From President Barack Obama’s plan to make the loan payback process easier for students to the involvement of student debt in the Occupy movements, acknowledgment of this problem has spread throughout the nation. The Facebook page Occupy Student Debt has this posted in their About Me section—“We are the Occupiers upset about being forced into a lifetime of student loan debt. We are the 99%.” Pictures of people holding signs demanding the government “Forgive Student Debt!” flood the internet. These are only small representations of the growing problems for college students. As tuition rises and debt becomes more prominent, students run out of choices. Though loans inspire caution in many students, college is hard to afford without accepting them. “It’s pretty much the only way I could pay for college,” said senior Corey Smothers, majoring in general studies. Having earned her associate’s degree elsewhere, Smothers came to Boise State to obtain her bachelor’s degree. The 32-year-old
works a full-time job and invests the money she earns into her wedding planned for February. She’s still paying the loan she obtained before she earned her associate’s degree in 2002. When she finished with that degree, she had approximately $8,000 to pay back. Nine years later she still has $1,000 left. Paul Goralski, a Boise State alumnus who graduated in 2007, took out federal subsidized and unsubsidized loans. After graduating, Goralski paid off his loans in slightly more than three years. “At the time I took out the loans, it was at the lowest interest rate environment so … the interest on my loans at the highest was 4.5 percent and some were even at 2 percent, which is extremely low,” Goralski said. According to the Federal Student Aid website, a subsidized, undergraduate loan disbursed anytime from July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011 has a current interest rate of 4.5 percent. Loans disbursed from July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012 would have an interest rate of 3.4 percent. An October release from College Board revealed an increase of 8.3 percent for in-state tuition for four-year, public universities and colleges nationwide. According to the Boise State Budget Office, tuition at Boise State has risen from 5 percent to 8 percent. In the simplest form, the total tuition and fees for a fulltime resident, undergraduate at Boise State is $2,783 for the each semester. This price rose a little more than 5 percent from
last year’s. The University of Idaho’s increase in tuition from last year exceeds that of Boise State. From the budget figures located on their website, the tuition for the University of Idaho rose about 8 percent. Many students who have not accepted loans keep them as a last resort. “I wouldn’t be reluctant (to accept a loan), but I’d be hesitant. I’d try everything I could to not (accept a loan),” said Jesse Richards, a freshman health science major. Richards is content with the scholarships she has, and to “try and get a job for anything else.” Is the importance of education worth the financial risk? “It was better to get into debt than not go to school, and if that’s what I had to do to get into school, then it’s worth it,” Andrew Fisher, freshman communication major, said, giving his view plainly. For the latest information on how the government plans to help with student debt, see Obama’s announcement at whitehouse.gov.

A 2-week-old baby girl is pulled alive from the rubble of an apartment building after an earthquake rocked Turkey Tuesday.
Turkey calls off search and rescue efforts
ISTANBUL —- Turkish officials recently announced their search and rescue teams will no longer be looking for suvivors of the devastating 7.2magnitude earthquake. The last victim to be pulled out of the rubble was a 13-year-old boy. The current death toll is believed to be 601 as of Sunday night, according to the state run news service,
Anatolia. More than 400 of these deaths were in a small town called Ercis off the coast of Lake Van in eastern Turkey. Since the quake finished, 231 people have been rescued. Serhat Tokay, the 13-yearold pulled out of the rubble said that he had been able to hear rescuers for the past two days. They were unable to hear his shouts until they removed
a few layers of the building he was buried under. Though being buried in rubble for more than four days with no food or water sounds slightly far-fetched, scientists say there are precedents. The earthquake in Haiti, for example, had rescuers finding people still buried but alive even after multiple weeks had passed.
BOSTON, MASS. —- At least three people have died because of the snowstorm that swept across the East Coast on Saturday. The rare October snowstorm dumped at least six inches on New York City. Four seabord states— New York, New Jersey, Conneticut and Massachusets—declared
weather emergencies due to the storms. Many flights have been canceled and Occupy protestors in New York hunkered down and managed to last out part of this storm. It is unsure if they will be able to last through the entire winter season.
New Solyndra scandal investigation is underway FREMONT, CALIF. —- The Obama Administration recently announced a new investigation into policies regarding loans given to companies in an effort to improve America’s energy policy. The investigation was prompted by the failed company Solyndra, based in Fremont, Calif., which received a $528 million loan before going bankrupt. The fact that the multi-million dollar loan appeared
to have gone to places other than the company has led to criticism regarding the implementation of Obama’s stimulus plans. A few days ago FBI agents started combing Solyndra’s offices in a search for evidence regarding the missing funds. There is also an independent investigation going on, recently ordered by the president to avoid any appearance of government interference.
BOISE —- Anthony Asbell was sentenced to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to charges of sexually molesting a 3-yearold girl. He was sentenced on Friday in the Third District Court. He must serve at least three and a half years before being eligible for parole. This leniency is partially because his psychosexual test showed he was not likely to have a repeat offense, and could he be let out early. Asbell will be registered as a sex offender upon his release from prison.
Republicans of Idaho set up straw poll BOISE —- With hopes of luring presidential candidates to speak in Idaho, the Idaho Republican Party has set up a straw poll dated for Jan. 6, 2012. The event is non-binding, but the organization hopes to have multiple candidates come to court voters before the nationwide GOP elections March 3. The state party moved its presidential primary from May to March in an effort to make the 32 nominees from Idaho more valuable in the nominating process. To participate in the straw poll, it is required that voters be registered as Republican.

The sexy pirate story Therese Schwenkler Columnist The best part about Halloween is not the candy. Nor is it the entertainment you get by scaring the crap out of that annoying neighbor kid who is always on your lawn. No, the best part about Halloween is that for one night, you get to dress up like whatever the eff you want. Lady Gaga? Check. Weird butterfly creature? Check. Um, fireman without a shirt on? Check. About three years ago, I was a sexy pirate for Halloween. Back in the day, life was all about partying, so I threw back a few shots of tequila, squeezed on my lip gloss and scoured the room for a hottie. Within a few minutes I’d found him—a policeman with a mischievous smile. I “accidentally” bumped into him (shameless, I know); he threatened to arrest me. We laughed. We flirted. By the end of the night, his phone number was written on my arm (don’t ask). I never ended up calling him though and it was for the stupidest reason. “When he sees that I’m not really a sexy pirate, he won’t like me anymore.” HUH?! Well—yeah. Halloween or not, I think we all know the feeling. You know, that exhausting, soul-sucking feeling that underneath the façade, we aren’t really good enough. The constant unexplored feeling that we have to put on a show in order to be loved or even liked. We fear that who we are, just as we are, beneath all the flash and the charm and the designer jeans, isn’t good enough. After all, if someone saw who we really are—human, vulnerable, tender, insecure, raw—they most certainly wouldn’t want to stick around. That hot policeman? If you weren’t a sexy, half naked pirate, he wouldn’t even give you the time of day. That good looking chic over there? If she thought you didn’t have money, she wouldn’t even talk to you. Your parents? If you didn’t graduate at the top of your class, they wouldn’t be proud of you. We come to believe that we are only valuable as long as we can show up wearing our masks for the world. We fear that who we are, just as we are, is not enough. What a lonely, heartbreaking, alienating feeling. There’s something you need to hear today. Listen closely—It’s just this: Sexy pirate or not, I love you. You—you are a rad motherf*&^r. For no other reason except that you are you. And that’s just the way it is. You need no validation. There are no questions; there are no ifs, ands, or buts about it. You just are. I want to pour this love over you until every inch of you is covered like a heaping hot fudge sundae. I want you to marinate in this feeling and let it sink into your pores and into your heart and into your soul. I want you to know: You are infinitely precious. So am I, so is he, so is she. Do you believe me?

On Oct. 25, members of Delta Upsilon Fraternity and Democracy Matters of Boise State, in partnership with Associated Students of Boise State University, hosted a public forum and inquiry that introduced Boise mayoral and city council candidates to voters. The event allowed Boise City Council and mayoral candidates to discuss contemporary social issues with their constituents. Candidates David Hall, Lauren McLean, Ben Quintana, Michael Cunningham and Lawrence Johnson cycled through tables in rapid succession filled with curious voters. Every seven minutes candidates were asked to move to a new table where a fresh set of voters sat. “This platform was a great example of how the students of Boise State want to be involved in our community. Not only were we able to show that we are interested in local politics and contributing socially, but we were also able to gain important information about the candidates and their platforms,” Delta Upsilon Vice President Jesse Rosenthal said. Hall is running against current eight-year incumbent David Bieter and fellow candidate Tom Kettwig. Hall spent some of his time criticizing Bieter for being an incumbent and not attending the forum. “If incumbents are not participating in the way you’re asking them too, then vote for Mickey Mouse—vote them out,” Hall said. Term limits do not exist for the mayor, making voters a fail-safe in case incumbents no longer participate in civic discourse. McLean’s re-election is unopposed for city council member seat one. During the interviews, McLean spent some of her time discussing responses to the recession. “We’re going to get tech companies, we’re going to build transit, we’re going to attract knowledge workers, those will give Boiseans a high quality of life we all deserve,” McLean said. Quintana, Cunningham and Johnson are competing for city council member seat two. Quintana and Cunningham are both Boise State alumni. Johnson did not complete his business degree from Boise State, but instead started his own construction company. Quintana, a 2004 Boise State communication alumnus, spent some of his time explaining methods that would resolve unemployment. “Boise can recruit ‘our kind of business’ that are innovative, recreationally focused and also high tech. I will build an economy that fits with those businesses, recruit people, help them to start and help them grow,” Quintana said. Fixing qualities in public transit, high energy costs and education investment, could potentially make Boise City more marketable to employers, according to Quintana. Cunningham is the current Capital High area director and a 1978 elementary education alumnus. He took his time with constituents to address their concerns. One community member asked, “How do you justify cutting $22 million from the Boise school district without creating larger classrooms?” “We looked at the inefficiencies, we instituted a new energy policies as far as the heat and the cooling goes. We shut some of our buildings down during the summer when certain buildings were not being used,” Cunningham responded. Johnson is owner and president of L.W. Johnson, a construction and development company. Johnson said he intends to promote city construction as a city council member. “If we bring formal bidding to the informal bidding process, we can not only make a more competitive market place for construction companies, but we could save hundreds of thousands of dollars as well,” Johnson said. Direct contact between voters and candidates is intended to allow representatives to reveal their intentions and agenda. Eberle is this year’s incumbent for City council member seat three. He also runs unopposed. Eberle spent six minutes condoning activist social justice. “One (Occupy Wall Street movement) believes the conspiracy is in big business, the other (Tea Party movement) believes the conspiracy is big government. Both believe there is a collision between the two. And if you are not mad, you should be, get out into the streets,” Eberle said. According to their perspective websites, economic disfranchisement can be found in the Occupy Boise movement, whereas government disfranchisement can be found in the Boise Tea Party movement. Eberle has yet to publicly endorse either one. Civic engagement almost became a lost democratic process until it was revived it in Simplot C by three Delta Upsilon Fraternity, Democracy Matters and the ASBSU. According to Nathan Eggleston, a senior majoring in French, this will not be the last Boise Votes.

Student debt doesn't have to be so devastating
CODY FINNEY/THE ARBITER
College is an expensive investment, but it’s not impossible to afford.
Go to college. Graduate. Get a job. Then start paying off all the debt accumulated for the pretty piece of paper called a degree. Student debt is a huge problem nationally and Boise State students do not escape this statistic. The average debt for a graduating student in 2009 was $24,000 nationwide according to nonprofit research company Project on Student Debt. Students at Boise State are better off than students at other schools--like big names as New York University at $34,814 in average debt--but others are less known and a little surprising. One of the schools with the highest graduate debt in the nation is the Cleveland Institute of Art with an average of $61,000, according to Forbes. So, school is expensive. No matter how small Boise State’s average graduate debt is compared to other schools, any debt is still painful to pay off. In order to lessen their own debt, students need to take advantage of the resources available. Students are justified in complaining, but they also need to take as many steps as they can to make it affordable to them. A simple solution is to graduate in a timely fashion--four years is considered the “normal” amount of time to spend in college, but how many actually graduate in four years? Not many outside of the Finish in Four program, according to the Academic Advising Center. Incoming freshman have a small chance of actually graduating in four years, but there are ways to tweak those odds. If those tactics are not taken advantage of early on, it quickly becomes too late and the only option is to start jamming as many credits into semesters as possible.
First, there’s that nifty program called Finish in Four. On paper, it sounds great--make a plan with an academic adviser, sign a contract with the university, stick to the plan and finish in four years or the university will cover the tuition for any remaining semesters. There are some limitations: first, not all majors are eligible. For example, several art students have claimed that if they approached an adviser about the Finish in Four program for a graphic design major, they would pretty much be laughed out of the office. Other programs have specific requirements in addition to the standard Finish in Four agreement, which can be found on the Boise State website. Another neat program is the Honors College. There are many benefits to this program, including providing an atmosphere where students can meet people with similar interests as well as providing honors students with smaller classes for the general requirements. Another very advantageous perk to the Honors College is the early registration date. This semester, Honors students registered for Spring 2012 classes on Oct. 17. The next enrollment date wasn’t until Oct. 24. This makes a huge difference, especially for impacted majors. The 25 spots for a class most engineering degrees require fill up fast and the sooner students can register, the greater the shot they have of meeting degree requirements quickly. Next, there are academic advisers. These advisers are professors in the departments who usually know the ins-and-outs of the program. Students should meet with their assigned adviser at least once. If they give good advice and are helpful, fantastic. Take
advantage of their knowledge, meet with them each semester to make sure you’re still on track. Signing a contract for the Finish in Four program might not even be necessary if students keep track of their own status with the aid of an adviser. But what if the adviser assigned by BroncoWeb isn’t so helpful? There’s an entire center devoted to Academic Advising, located right next to the Career Center. Appointments are easy to set up and they’re happy to talk about how to get on track. Another option is peer advising. Some departments setup peer advising opportunities, while others require a more pro-active approach like asking someone for help. Many upper division students are happy to help and have useful first-hand experience. They’ve registered for these classes, taken these professors and can give frank advice on professors to avoid, classes that are far harder than their three credits worth and on options available for meeting more esoteric requirements, like internships or final projects. Student debt is higher than ever and costs of education are rising, but students are not without options. If students take advantage of the resources available to them so they can graduate quickly and avoid as much debt as possible, it may not take the rest of eternity to pay for that degree. The Way We See It is based on the majority opinions of The Arbiter’s editorial board. Members of the board are Editorin-Chief Rebecca De León; Managing Editor Haley Robinson; section editors Wyatt Martin, Lindsey Hileman, Suzanne Craig, Tasha Adams; multimedia editors Cody Finney and Ryan Morgan; and Copy Editor Katie Johnson.
Letter to the Editor There really should be some men’s shirts on the clothesline October is a great month for me. I was born in October, actually. Funny thing though, is October is also Domestic Violence Awareness Month. It’s somewhat amusing to me that I celebrate my birthday in a month where antimale rhetoric is higher than its usual dull roar. Yes, I said it. Misandry is something that has been rapidly spreading. Men have been systematically disenfranchised and demonized, but we’ve been forced to endure in silence
or face a maelstrom of ad hominem attacks. The mainstream media’s portrayal of domestic abuse conjures the same image again and again: A man laying hands upon his wife and hapless children whilst the world stands by in idle silence. If we step away from the Lifetime Original Movie myth that we’re forced to hear and look at credible research things change. I would like to hit one particular thing that the CLP mentioned on
their site. I quote: “The US Bureau of Justice Statistics reports that 95% of the reported incidents of assaults in relationships are committed by males.” This seems like an overwhelming figure, but where’s the date on that? The CLP offers no link to this number. Also note the inclusion of the word ‘reported.’ That is a very important word that changes the color of this debate. If we eliminate the ‘reported’ variable the numbers are far dif-
ferent. Martin S. Fiebert in conjunction with the California State University Psychology Dept. in May of 2011 published a compendium of 282 scholarly investigations that all point to a strong conclusion: men and women abuse each other at equal rates. The importance the word ‘reported’ cannot be understated. Men are shamed into enduring in stoic silence. We are told repeatedly to man up, to be a man, to stop being a bitch, but I am go-
ing to break that silence. I don’t believe anyone deserves to be domestically abused. I also don’t believe that spreading lies will help improve the situation at all. There was a report in 2007 published by the American Psychiatric Association that relayed information in a CDC study showing a shocking truth: in instances of non reciprocated violence, women initiated the behavior almost 71% of the time. The lack of reciprocity means that the incident
would go unreported. The report is titled “Men Shouldn’t Be Overlooked as Victims of Partner Violence” for those of you wanting to read into it. Men are scarred from domestic abuse as well. The biggest difference is that we don’t get a shirt on a clothesline. We get a shirt to cover up our scars and try to keep us warm as we step out into a world cold to our side of the story. Mark Estrebillo is a sophomore majoring in marketing.

aCross the Sunshine State Nikki Hanson
Assistant Sports Editor The thrill of the race is how most would describe it. The wind in your hair, all sound drowned out by the light slap of your foot against the pavement and your heartbeat pounding in rhythm with each forward motion. Cross country is not an easy sport by any means. It is a sport that requires a strong mental game, strength and endurance. The Boise State cross country teams raced in their first Mountain West Championship meet this past Saturday at the Collindale Golf Course in Ft. Collins, Colo. The Broncos displayed their prowess against their new conference opponents. The women earned a third-place team finish, while the men placed fourth overall. Both teams were picked to finish fifth in the preseason the coaches’ poll.
The Bronco women’s team finished with 88-points in a wide-spread team field, while the men tallied 75-points in a tighter men’s team race. The team to sweep the men’s and women’s titles was New Mexico. The women finished in a close group of eighth- through 30th-place for their five scoring runners. Of the women, redshirt freshman Marisa VenderMalle paved the way forward with an eighth-place finish on the six kilometer course. She was the first freshman to finish, clocking a time of 21:20.4. Sophomore Emma Bates placed second for the Bronco women, picking up an 11thplace finish in a time of 21:33.1, while sophomore Tessa Murray finished just behind in 21:46.8 to place 13th. VanderMalle, Bates and Murray earned allconference second team honors with their finishes top-20 finishes. The Bronco men also completed the course with impres-
sive numbers. Sophomore Drew O’Donoghue-McDonald led the pack for the men with a 10th-place finish in a time of 25:35.5 on the 8-kilometer course. Freshman Vince Hamilton finished one spot behind in 11th-place with a time of 25:36.3. As far as freshman in the field go, Hamilton had one of the top finishes, earning him the Mountain West Men’s Freshman of the Year honor. O’Donoghe-McDonald and Hamilton earned all-conference second team honors with their finishes in the top-14. The Bronco women placed third behind New Mexico and Colorado State respectively. The Lobos also won the title for men with Boise State picking up the fourth-place spot, behind Air Force and Colorado State. The next stop for the teams will be Palo Alto, Calif., on Nov. 12 to continue their post-season competition at the NCAA West Regional Championships hosted by Stanford.

a shot of courage
Broncos trick and treat Vandals to Governor’s Cup victory, 1-0 Lucio Prado Journalist Not even the ghouls and ghosts of the gold and black University of Idaho women’s soccer team could scare the fierce Boise State women’s soccer team away from a win. The rivals faced off in the Governor’s Cup with the Broncos pulling ahead in the end, winning 1-0. On Saturday afternoon, the women of the soccer team honored their six seniors, goalkeeper Liz Ruiz, midfielders Ashley Walsh and Chelsea Robinson, defenders Lindsay Roberts and Serena Montoya and forward Kati Lucas, before the game with a tribute and flowers that had them all fighting back tears. As emotions ran high the women took the home pitch one last time facing their biggest rival, the University of Idaho Vandals. The first half the game was back and fourth with each team getting chances, but neither finding a way to score a goal. The second half, the Broncos found a way to open the game up with beautiful plays causing the ball to sail over defenders’ heads. This created space that had fans on their feet and holding their breath for all ten of
the Broncos’ shots on goal. Playing through the frustration the Bronco women knew that all they needed was for one shot to find its way to the back of the net ,and if they stayed patient the moment would come. At the 69:43 mark, freshman defender Avery Salisbury threw the ball in from about 30 yards to teammate Ebie Harris, who was standing at the top of the box. The ball bounced awkwardly to Harris who managed to put a heal to it and flicked the ball up high, over the last defender, and to sophomore Ashley Hruby. As the ball bounced to her feet she was able to chip the ball over the goalie’s head for a goal, putting the Broncos up for good at one, nil. “It started out with a throw-
fevers coughs and more
in and I saw some space behind the defense so I checked in and then I checked away,” Hruby said. “I had Ebie check and she flicked it to me and it was a really good flick. It was perfect. (It) landed right on my foot and I took a touch, looked up, saw the keeper coming out and I chipped it over and it went side netting.” “I do it pretty often (referring to her heal flick) and it rarely ever works,” Harris said. “I kind of flicked it past the last defender and Hruby kinda tossed it over the goalie on the right post it was beautiful pretty good throw and pretty good finish.” The Mountain West Conference Tournament begins Wednesday in Albuquerque, N.M. The Broncos will have a low seed and a tough couple of games ahead of them.

October 31, 2011
Midterms are over
arbiteronline.com
Linebackers- A
Boise’s linebackers have been in the right spots at the right times all season long. With the 4-2-5 defense the Broncos run, a lot of pressure and responsibility rests on the shoulders of the linebacking core. Seniors Byron Hout and Aaron Tevis have filled gaps and made impeccable reads in all of the Broncos’ games, allowing them to come up with big tackles and big interceptions.
Kickers- C
The “open competition” at field goal kicker going into the third game of the season should give readers an idea of how much faith Coach Chris Petersen has in his kicking game. Freshman Dan Goodale has seemingly stepped into the role of Boise State kicker. After a shaky start, Goodale has made field goals in three of the last four games, giving him and Petersen a bit more confidence.
Defensive Backs- A+
For a secondary that lost three of five starters last season, these Broncos have literally made opposing offenses one-dimensional. Even after the loss of shut-down senior cornerback Jarrell Gavins to a season-ending knee injury, they have filled in and kept opponents from completing passes and more importantly, they have kept them out of the end zone.
Wyatt Martin Sports Editor
The season has surpassed its halfway point and the Boise State Broncos are once again poised to knock on the door of the house the BCS built. The Broncos are 7-0 and ranked fourth in the BCS standings through the first ten weeks. Boise got a week of rest following their closest game of the season against Air Force and will use that extra week to prepare for their second conference road game against the University of Nevada: Las Vegas. Though midterms have already past, we decided to put together a mid-season progress report to break down the Broncos’ performance throughout their first seven games.
Quarterbacks- A+
Senior Kellen Moore has been instrumental thus far in his fourth year as the man under center for the Broncos. While his interception rate has gone up slightly compared to years past, his completion percentage is the highest in the nation (76.3) and he is fourth in the nation overall with 24 touchdown passes.
Running Backs- A
It may have taken senior Doug Martin a couple of games to find his groove in the 2011 season, but since he has, other teams have had little-to-no chance of stopping him. Martin and fellow senior D.J. Harper have tagteamed opponents for 679 yards in the last four games and brought balance to Boise’s high-powered offensive attack.
Wide Receivers/ Tight Ends- B+
Aside from a lack-luster performance against Nevada, this “receiver by committee” has done a tremendous job of replacing the now NFL receivers Titus Young and Austin Pettis. Freshman Matt Miller has stepped into the “possession” role, becoming Kellen Moore’s go-to man on third downs. Senior Tyler Shoemaker has shown his deep-threat ability catching 28 balls for 499 yards and has a nation-leading nine touchdown receptions.
Offensive Line- A+
The Bronco frontline has been carousel this year with several different offensive lineman going down with injuries and have had to keep their Heisman candidate safe with second and third stringers. While the job hasn’t been easy, these Broncos have filled in with poise and reliability. The big boys have kept Moore’s jersey clean throughout the season, only allowing two sacks on the senior quarterback.
Defensive Line- A
This talented and experienced frontline has man-handled offenses at times this season. Seniors Tyrone Crawford and Shea McClellin have combined for 54 tackles and 8.5 sacks on the season, giving opposing offensive coordinators headaches. Billy Winn has remained the rock of the D-line and should have even bigger games with the return of sophomore Ricky Tjong-A-Tjoe.
Punters- A
Brad Elkin’s rugby-style punting has allowed the Broncos to pin down opponents, helping the defense with field position.
