Boise State Offers Running Back Jack Fields

Borrowing a phrase from Steely Dan, "You go back, Jack, Do It Again." 

Bronco fans could be singing that if Americas High School running back Jack Fields comes to Boise.  Already blessed with one of the top offensive lines in the nation, Fields would be free to roam all over the field should he come to Boise State.  And according to several sources, Boise State has offered the talented back from El Paso, Texas.

This tells me something.  Obviously, Fields is talented.  But what I get from it is that the Boise State coaches may have grown tired of waiting for commitments from the ones previously offered.  Traditionally, Boise State will offer multiple prospects at a position and the first one to commit will get the scholarship.  The fact that they have already offered several already and are now adding Fields' name to the list could mean that if Fields commits, he is the guy.  I still think Boise State takes two backs in this class but even so, it would mean one less scholarship available.

This guy is something else--he has blazing 4.5 speed and has the size (6-0, 215) of a Doug Martin-type running back.

ESPN Will Televise Boise State-Toledo Game

It is official--all 12 Boise State football games this fall will be nationally televised, the first time in school history that has happened.

ESPN announced that it will show the Boise State-Toledo game, the only one that had not been picked up to that point.  The game will be moved to Friday, September 16 at 6 p.m. Mountain Time.

Nine Broncos on Phil Steele's 2011 Preseason All-MWC Football Team

Nine Boise State football players are on Phil Steele' preseason All-Mountain West Conference team.  Steele usually has one of the better preseason football magazines and this is considerable respect for the Bronco program.

Quarterback Kellen Moore, running back Doug Martin, wide receiver Tyler Shoemaker, center Thomas Byrd and tackle Nate Potter were on the first-team ffense from Boise State.  Defensive end Shea McClellin, who had a breakout junior season last year, and tackle Billy Winn are both on the defensive front on the preseason team.  George Iloka also made the All-MWC team on defense while Chris Potter was selected as a punt returner.

Here is the complete list:
