Following Boise State’s 41-14 win over Nevada on Saturday, football coach Bryan Harsin said a simple sentence that carried a lot of meaning: “We’ve been here before.”
The last two seasons, the Broncos have been in November in a similar situation, with the Mountain Division in their sights. But in 2015 they lost twice at home to division foes, and last year they still had a shot before losing the season finale.
“It re-emphasizes (the need for focus) ... we’ve always tried to get it done, I’m not saying we’ve always gotten it done,” Harsin said. “If they start paying attention to all these other factors, because everyone wants to speculate on what could be, then we’ll get caught up in it and we won’t play well.
