All-America Honors Continue to Roll In for Boise State

Boise State offensive tackle Nate Potter has been named First Team All-America by a third source, Yahoo Sports and quarterback Kellen Moore and receiver Matt Miller also garnered more honors.

Potter, who was also named an All-American by CBSSports.com and the Football Writers Association of America, was also chosen to the second team by SI.com.  Potter was also a second-team selection by the Walter Camp Foundation and last week was named to the Capital One Academic All-America team.

Moore, who was named as the nation's top quarterback for the second year in a row, was snubbed by SI.com, which only named him to its "Honorable Mention" list.  Moore set an all-time NCAA record for wins for a starting quarterback with 49.  He has completed a school record 300 passes out of 405 attempts for 3,507 yards and 41 touchdowns, another school record.  Moore is second in the history of college football with 140 career touchdown passes and is fifth in NCAA history with 14,374 career passing yards.  Yeah, he's "Honorable Mention" all right.

Miller set Boise State freshman records with 58 receptions for 647 yards and eight touchdowns.

All three join the Broncos in Las Vegas, Nevada next Thursday, December 22 to take on Arizona State in the Las Vegas Bowl.  Kickoff is 6:05 p.m. Mountain Time.
