ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Boise State expected its receivers to have a big day against New Mexico, and they did.Brett Rypien threw five touchdown passes -- three to Cedrick Wilson and two to Thomas Sperbeck -- and No. 19 Boise State overwhelmed New Mexico 49-21 on Friday night.We expected a lot of cover zero, man, so we knew if we had the time to throw, we would get open, he said. It getting a lot easier for us to see the coverages and whats coming and the blitzes. And I think our o-line did a great job picking it up.The Broncos (5-0, 2-0 Mountain West) scored touchdowns on seven consecutive possessions. New Mexico (2-3, 1-1) scored on its second possession, and didnt reach the end zone again until the midway through the fourth quarter.Rypien was 21 of 28 for 391 yards. Sperbeck had nine receptions for 198 yards and Wilson had nine catches for 167 yards.Rypien said it was gratifying to have the two receivers complementing each other.We got into a rhythm, Rypien said. The game plan called for us to make plays. The first four games we relied on Jeremy (McNichols), but we had to step up and we did.In the last two seasons, Sperbeck has totaled 29 catches and 479 yards receiving against New Mexico. His performance last season wasnt enough to prevent the Lobos upset, but it was a conference record for yards.The unexpected loss last season wasnt much of a motivating factor, but it did make the victory feel a little sweeter, according to Sperbeck.It is a little bit of factor, he said. It does feel good to get a win against anybody, obviously. But it feels little better since they beat us last year, but you cant think too much into that. I think we did a great of preparation all week and it showed (Friday).It helped that Boise State was stifling New Mexico early.When the defense stands its ground like it did (Friday), it takes lot of pressure off the offense, Sperbeck said. It allows us to operate more smoothly. Theres not as much pressure to move the ball down the field. We can take the shots we want.THE TAKEAWAYS:Although Boise State downplayed last years loss to the Lobos was any kind of motivation, the Broncos certainly played like they meant to put New Mexico in its place.A lot of guys didnt really like how the Lobos celebrated last year so I think it was kind of a chip on our shoulder for last year, Wilson said. We played pretty hard.This was the first game this season that New Mexico did not have a double-digit lead at some point in the game.The Lobos came into the game having allowed nine scoring plays of 40 or more yards and Boise State added two more to that total.UP NEXTBoise State: Hosts Colorado State on Oct. 15. The Broncos have readily handled the Rams in all five meetings since joining the conference. The closest game was 42-30 in 2013. Coming up, Boise State faces BYU at home Oct. 20 in a nationally televised game that could be the Broncos best chance to make a lasting impression against a name opponent -- at least until the regular-season finale Nov. 25 against Air Force.New Mexico: The Lobos travel to Dallas to face Air Force in the Cotton Bowl. For New Mexico, a loss to the Falcons would effectively end its chances at winning the Mountain Division.KEY NUMBERSBoise State had 391 yards passing, 368 of those coming in the first half.We could have had more if we cut them loose, said Broncos coach Bryan Harsin. This show could have gone on all night.New Mexico became the first team this season to top the century mark rushing against the Broncos, totaling 382. Lobos quarterback Lamar Jordan became the first player to rush for 100 yards against Boise State, finishing with 139, but he completed just four passes for 39 yards.INJURY REPORTBoise State suffered no injures of note.New Mexico played the game without leading rusher Teryion Gipson, who injured his hamstring last week against San Jose State. Cornerback Isaiah Brown was lost to a foot injury in the first half. He was replaced by true freshman Elijah Lilly, who Lobos coaches had hoped to redshirt.LAST WORDI tried to just block it out as much as I could and focus on the game, Rypien said, speaking of losing his grandmother Terry Rypien this week. Now I can go home and focus on family stuff that I need to focus on. It was hard the first part of the week, but having the team around me and the coaches around me made it lot better.Brett Favre Super Bowl Jersey .

Aaron Rodgers Super Bowl Jersey .

Its a motion our bodies perform naturally, the only gear required is a pair of shoes (if even that) and we get to pick the pace. Around the world people run for work, play, fitness and even spiritual enlightenment.And while you might think that running is running is running, it is practiced differently depending on where you do it. From the United States obsession with analytics to Ethiopias natural approach to Japans high-mileage grind, running cultures are as unique as the countries that create them.After graduating from Rice University, NCAA All-American runner Becky Wade received a Watson Fellowship to spend a year traveling the globe and studying the way the world runs. During her journey, she met legendary sprinter Usain Bolt, ran on hallowed ground at Roger Bannister Track in Oxford and powered up mountains in Switzerland. Twenty-two countries and more than 3,500 miles later, Wade returned to America armed with new techniques and fresh perspective, which she writes about in her book Run the World, which will be released on Tuesday.As she prepped to compete in the steeplechase at the Olympic track and field trials on Monday, we caught up with the 27-year-old Wade to hear about the lessons she learned while running the world.1. Walk before you runIn London, Wade shared a flat with elite Kenyan runners, who also became her training partners. These athletes started every workout in a surprising way: Walking. The 20-minute stroll to a local park spared their joints pavement pounding, and by accelerating gradually, their bodies had ample opportunity to loosen up. [B]y the time they actually begin running, their bodies are likely more alive and responsive than most peoples ever become during the day, Wade says.2. Metrics arent requiredWade spent two months living at the Yaya Village training camp in Ethiopia and hanging with three runners dubbed the Yaya Girls. Their workouts followed a pattern: single file, off-road and uphill -- or rather, up Mount Entoto, which tops off at 10,500 feet. The Ethiopians dismissed distance-based or time-focused training in favor of running by feel. Just being really attentive to how your body feels in the moment and not overexerting, but pushing the appropriate amount for that day.3. Following is funThe Ethiopian follow-the-leader format was also good practice for distance races. You dont want to overthink things. You want other people to carry the load for as long as possible, Wade says.4. Lose control, gain gritFor pros like Wade, structure is a fact of training. But traveling meant relinquishing control -- especially when it came to workouts. Id just hop in with a group, she says. I didnt know what we would be doing or how fast wed go. And adapting on the fly isnt just for practice. Its a useful skill for bouncing back from the inevitable mid-race surpprises.dddddddddddd Just diving into those unknowns benefitted me and probably would a lot more distance runners. In Zurich, Wade attended running club TV Oerlikons Track Challenge, a medley of 10 races from 250 to 1,000 meters. The catch? Runners started each race without knowing the distance. Only an official knew the length of each event and would signal to the racers when they entered the last half lap. It was fun for the runners and it was also really fun for the spectators. Youre always wondering, is this going to be a race where the sprinters go or are the distance runners going to dominate? Hows it all going to add up? I loved that.5. Diet schmietAmerican runners, Wade says, often are focused on innovation, the latest gadget or diet trend that might offer an edge. But Wade found cultures around the world where elite athletes stuck with diets diametrically opposed to the current wisdom at home. In Japan, she fell in love with sushi as a pre-run meal. In Ethiopia, she watched the Yaya Girls rely on injera crepes, pasta, white potatoes and white rolls. In London, she joined the Kenyans for vegetable stew and Ugali, a cornmeal bread also used as a utensil. While Americans are quick to swear off bread or whatever food is taboo at the moment, Wade writes, elite runners from Ethiopia and Kenya -- the best in the world -- have been found to consume between 64 and 76 percent of their calories in carbohydrate form.6. Scones can be a recovery foodIf the word recovery evokes ice baths and Advil, its time to think more broadly. At Irelands Finn Valley Athletic Club, most practices ended with a mental cool-down in the form of tea and scones back at the clubhouse. The mental wind-down after especially hard workouts is really important and undervalued, Wade says. Meanwhile in Japan -- known for its disciplined, militaristic approach to running -- recovery was also revered. Wade had her toes nibbled at a fish spa, took a dip in onsen bathing houses and turned to acupuncture when she suffered a mild calf strain. I was surprised to find in Japan that serious athletes are really good at separating rest and recovery from their training and work schedules, Wade says.7. Runners are awesome peopleWade returned from her journey not only primed for a killer marathon -- five months after her return to the United States Wade won the California International Marathon in her first shot at the distance, finishing in 2 hours,30 minutes and 48 seconds -- but also fired up about the community shed joined on the road. It is such a positive and kind and quirky group of people that share this one thing in common, but [running is] such a powerful thing that it fosters instant connection, Wade says. Im just very proud to be a runner. ' ' '
