Minus two veteran starters, Boise State defense still puts up dominant effort

Boise State spent much of the offseason discussing a hope to build “dependable depth” on its defense, and thus far, it has shown up.

The Broncos were without two key starters in Saturday’s 62-7 win over UConn at Albertsons Stadium — senior defensive tackle David Moa and junior middle linebacker Tyson Maeva.

Moa has yet to play this season, while Maeva was a surprise scratch. A starter in 14 of the last 15 games, he played in the opener at Troy and suited up Saturday.

“Just didn’t need him,” Harsin said, not elaborating on if the decision was injury- or suspension-related.
