Brett Rypien came to Boise State with plenty of buzz, expectations and confidence.
The quarterback played as a true freshman in 2015, the first BSU passer to do so in the 22 years prior, but as he quickly earned a starting role, he wanted the offense to follow his example instead of being vocal about it.
Now, with 23 straight starts under his belt and the Broncos losing some stalwarts on his side of the ball, Rypien knows the second half of his career will be quite a bit different than the first.
“I definitely think it’s changed,” Rypien said.
