1. Long in the tooth
The 67-year-old Rocky Long thinks Boise State no longer has a mystique and dammit, I think he’s right (although it took a few years for his pronouncement to ring true). Of course, mystiques are a fickle thing and the Broncos could find theirs again with a win over the 18th ranked Aztecs...and then Rocky can find some Aspercreme for his aching bones.
2. In for a Penny, in for a pound
Speaking of mystiques vanishing...the Bronco run game has all but done so this season...an extremely strange occurrence given the Broncos propensities.
