BOISE, Idaho — Following every Boise State game, analysts and experts rush to dissect and pick apart the Broncos’ performance, mostly just to prove why the team doesn’t belong in the BCS title discussion.
But they’ve got nothing on Boise State head coach Chris Petersen.
Moments after another ho-hum Bronco domination of WAC upper-crust opponent Hawaii 42-7 on Saturday, Petersen was asked about Heisman Trophy candidate quarterback Kellen Moore‘s career-best performance.
“I think the thing is, there are two interceptions that hit me right between the eyes,” Petersen said. “He played great, but those are uncharacteristic throws.”
To put Petersen’s comments into perspective, his star junior quarterback was 30-of-37 passing for 507 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions. Moore’s total yards were the third-best performance in school history — and it was done while setting the school record for career touchdown passes and career 200-yard passing games.
And let’s not forget Moore’s string of 19 straight completions in the first half.
For Petersen, all of Moore’s impressive statistics coupled with two interceptions equated to a shrug and a “good enough for government work” stamp of approval.
Step aside, pundits.
