At his press conference the Monday before the Boise State football team’s marquee game at Oklahoma State, coach Bryan Harsin told the media the Broncos “should be at full strength.”
On game day, that was far from reality.
Starting cornerback Tyler Horton — arguably the team’s best defensive player — didn’t make the trip because of an injury sustained in the previous game. Wide receiver Octavius Evans — expected to be the team’s top receiver going into the season — barely played. Defensive tackle David Moa — the cornerstone of the defensive line — played a few series.
