After one of the most sensational games in his storied career, all Carter could do was shake his head and smile. [...]

I’m glad to see Boise State’s game against Virginia Tech has been moved to the first weekend of the season. It’s a great nonconference game and a good way for the Broncos to get a signature win to start the season. Will that win be enough to keep them high enough in the polls throughout [...]
