Receiver
/ Defensive End |
| Nine
receivers
caught a
dozen or
more passes
in 2012.
Most of
them are
back as
are most
of the backups.
This is
s deep receiving
crew. Boise
State ranked
7th nationally
in the sack
department.
Defensive
ends Demarcus
Lawrence,
Sam Ukwuachu
and Tyler
Horn are
back to
harass opposing
quarterbacks.

| Linebacker
/ Cornerback |
A
completely
new set
of linebackers
in this
nickel base
defense
need to
be found.
Tommy Smith
and J.C.
Percy were
dominating
tacklers.
Opposing
quarterbacks
have a miserable
time against
this Bronco
pass defense.
Cornerbacks
Jamar Taylor
and Jerrell
Gavins had
much to
do with
this success.
Replacing
them will
be a crucial
experiment
this off-season.

DEPTH CHARTS were
only designed as a simplistic
gauge for listing players
that departed and players
that received the most
playing experience (consistent
starters). NationalChamps.net
recognizes the importance
of missing personnel data
not listed such as redshirts,
transfers, injuries, incoming
recruits, back ups and
alternates. Their coverage
will begin with our full
2013 Preseason Preview
due out this coming spring.

TAKES |
12/18/12
- This
could be the year
for senior quarterback
Joe Southwick. He
finished the 2012
regular season playing
his best football.
This offensive line
also does a good job
protecting Joe. After
sitting behind and
watching legendary
Kellen Moore handle
the position it's
now his turn to take
a swipe at a magical
Boise State run.
- The
Broncos understandably
leaned on the run
game more with a new
quarterback. Gone
is 1,000-yard rusher
D.J. Harper but young
sophomore Jay Ajayi
brings an explosive
power element to the
table and a 6.9 yards-per-carry
average.
- Receiver
Matt Miller has more
catches than any Bronco
over the past two
season. He is a possession-type
guy who moves the
chains. This may not
be the highest rated
set of receivers on
an individual basis,
but there is plenty
of quality route runners
to choose from.
- History
has shown that no
matter how many people
Boise State brings
back, this team is
geared to play with
anyone while racking
up impressive won-loss
records. Head Coach
Chris Petersen has
done more with lesser
experienced teams
compared to the one
he will have under
his tutelage for 2013.
The defense certainly
has some questions
that need answered
given the personnel
loses but this is
still a typical triumphant
Boise State team.
Ignoring them as a
Top 25 entity would
be an insult.
