BOISE, Idaho — Boise State’s Brett Rypien is the latest in a long line of prolific Bronco quarterbacks.
Rypien, who averages 320 yards passing per game, needs 250 yards to become the Mountain West Conference’s all-time passing yardage leader.
The senior could break the mark against BYU Saturday (8:15 p.m., MDT, ESPN2).
Going into Saturday’s game, Rypien has 12,441 career passing yards, second only to San Diego State’s Ryan Lindley (2008-11), who threw for 12,690 yards. BYU left the Mountain West in 2011 to go independent.
“They have a really experienced quarterback running the show,” said BYU coach Kalani Sitake.
