Though they came away with a resounding 45-7 win over San Jose State, it doesn't mean the Boise State Broncos will be completely content.

One area the team will likely address is a focus on physicality. The Broncos ran for 140 yards in the game, but had just 8 at the half. Take away Doug Martin's fourth quarter (63 yards) and a Jeremy Avery 38-yard run in the third quarter, and it's not what the Broncos were hoping for, especially against a rush defense that had struggled mightily.

"I just think they played more physical than us early on," head coach Chris Petersen said.

Petersen also said the amount of hits Kellen Moore took "should be a wake-up call" for the offense in protecting its quarterback. Moore took a few big knocks and more than once appeared a bit shaken up. He said after the game he was sore, but wasn't injured.

One quick thing I noticed: Boise State let San Jose State hurt itself in the win. The Spartans had 10 penalties to the Broncos' two, and their two turnovers led to 14 Boise State points.

I posted postgame audio from Moore, Petersen and Kirby Moore here.
