The Boise State Broncos, with their work cut out for them despite getting a strong spot in the first BCS standings, look to avoid a letdown against the Hawaii Warriors in a Western Athletic Conference matchup Saturday.

Despite being a longshot for a national championship, the Broncos come into this one listed as a huge 24.5-point favorite.

The Broncos can’t have another mediocre effort against a team such as Hawaii in order to make their second BCS appearance in four seasons.

The Warriors rely heavily on their passing game, throwing for at least 300 yards in five of six games. Hawaii, though, is in danger of losing five straight in a single season for the first time since going 0-12 in 1998.

The Broncos have won seven of the last eight meetings against the Warriors after losing the first two. However, they are 0-4 ATS over the last four games.
