No way to quantify how his 6-foot, 178-pound frame could handle wide receivers with a five-inch height advantage. The only quantifiable measurement that allows anybody to make comparisons now is his speed. And speed, it turns out, Dennis has in bunches. CBSSports.com college football writer Chris Huston recently ranked the fastest players in college football among those with track backgrounds. Using official "Fully Automated Time" measurements that included 100- and 200-meter dash times, he compiled a list that included players from Florida State, California, LSU, Baylor, Boise State, Texas, Rutgers and South Carolina. Among that group was one player from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, a Division III school that plays in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference: Thurgood Dennis, dubbed the fastest returning player in all of college fo Mon, 17 Jun 2013 13:41:02 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/fastest_in_college_football_uw_eau_claires_thurgood_dennis_eyes_nfl_olympics/13854437 http://network.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/fastest_in_college_football_uw_eau_claires_thurgood_dennis_eyes_nfl_olympics/13854437 Fastest in college football?

The Broncos are the only FBS program that has 10-or-more wins in each of the last seven seasons and that is largely due to Petersen, the winningest active coach in the FBS. The schedule is definitely backloaded for Boise State, who were co-champions of the league last year, along with Fresno State and San Diego State. Each team posted 7-1 conference marks in the final year of the league as a 10-team conference. Boise closes its 2013 slate with four straight conference road games against four of the league’s better teams - Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State and Utah State.

Everybody except for Chris Clark, that is. The fifth-year journeyman tackle is preparing as though he'll be the one protecting Peyton Manning's blindside on the Broncos' upcoming Super Bowl-or-bust tour. Clady has stayed away from Dove Valley since January while rehabbing from offseason shoulder surgery and angling for a new long-term contract while his $9.828 million free agent tender gathers dust instead of his signature. Vice President John Elway is on the record stating he wants to sign Clady to a long-term deal this summer, and coach John Fox said Wednesday, ''I'm sure that'll all get worked out and I anticipate seeing him in camp.'' All indications, he added, are that he's progressing as expected in his rehab.

Ukwuachu, who will sit out the 2013 season and have two seasons of eligibility remaining, played in 13 games during his redshirt season for the Broncos and had 35 tackles, 4.5 sacks and seven tackles for loss. The 6-4, 222-pounder also had three fumble recoveries. Ukwuachu played for three years at Pearland, where he helped lead the team to the 5A Division I state championship in 2010.

After four consecutive years of Kellen Moore directing the offense on the field for the Boise State Broncos, rewriting record books along the way, Southwick was charged with replacing one of the all-time greats in school history. It is an unenviable task to have to be the next guy in line following an all-time legend of sorts, but as so many in college football have done before, Southwick was given that responsibility. Boise State had built a reputation for high-scoring offenses over when Moore was the quarterback. Matching those numbers seemed unlikely for anyone given the roster turnover at Boise State in 2012, but Southwick became a scapegoat of sorts for what appeared to be a struggling offense, with some Boise State loyalists going so far as suggesting Southwick just is not the right guy to lead the Broncos offense. But is that really fair? Yesterday on Crystal Ball Run m...

The university announced Monday it had filed a lawsuit in 4th District Court in Boise after a representative of what will soon be the American Athletic Conference said the conference intended to sue the university. Boise State signed an agreement in December 2011 to join the Big East in 2013 for football. However, the school says the conference lost three-quarters of its membership over the next year, failed to add more football schools west of the Mississippi and lost its guaranteed spot in BCS bowls. In December, Boise State opted to stay in the Mountain West Conference for all sports. University President Bob Kustra argues the conference the Broncos agreed to join no longer exists. ''Boise State entered into that agreement in good faith and with a great degree of optimism, but the conference we agreed to join simply no longer exists,'&#3 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 19:07:00 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/boise_state_thats_our_5_million/13408930 http://network.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/boise_state_thats_our_5_million/13408930 Boise State: That's our $5 million http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/articles/boise_state_thats_our_5_million/13408930 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png Boise State has rewarded coach Leon Rice for posting consecutive 20-win seasons and getting the Broncos to the NCAA tournament last month. Athletic director Mark Coyle announced a contract extension and pay hike for the third-year coach Wednesday. Rice and the university have agreed in principle to a two-year extension and a $43,000 bump in pay next year, raising his 2014 salary to $482,110. The deal calls for a 3 percent annual raise through 2018. The Broncos finished 21-11 this season and earned the team's first ever at-large berth to the tournament. Hired in 2010, Rice has won 50 games faster than any coach in school history and the success of the team in the last two years has elevated attendance to its highest mark in more than a decade.
