Murphy: BSU Deserves A Vs. Idaho

Boise State's passing game appeared unstoppable for a large portion of the game as quarterback Kellen Moore threw for five touchdowns and wide receiver Austin Pettis had four touchdown grabs, tying a school record for receiving scores in a game. Moore leads the country with 32 touchdown passes and Pettis is tops with 14 touchdown catches. The potent combination overshadowed other solid performances, such as Titus Young's six-catch, 101-yard performance and Jeremy Avery's 110 yards rushing. Avery averaged 7.9 yards per attempt. Moore and the offensive line did a nice job of picking up Idaho's blitzes. The Vandals brought more pressure than normal and it left plenty of room in the secondary for the Broncos wide receivers to run free/Brian Murphy, Idaho Statesman. More here.

Question: What grade would you give Idaho -- in terms of offense, defense, and special teams -- in its 63-25 loss to Boise State? What grade would you give the Vandals for the season?
