Draft Scout Austin Pettis News
11/20/09 - SCOUTING THE OFFENSE: The Broncos solved their red-zone issues last week against Idaho and put up 63 points, taking over the national lead in scoring. They have lived in opponent territory this season, they rarely turn the ball over and their two starting wide receivers have combined for 27 touchdowns. Plus, tailback Jeremy Avery has topped 100 rushing yards in two straight games. The group has been particularly potent in WAC play, scoring 258 points in five games (51.6 points per game). PLAYERS TO WATCH: WR Austin Pettis has thrown his hat into the crowded WAC Offensive Player of the Year ring with a school-record 14 touchdown catches and has caught a touchdown pass in every game this season.
11/16/09 - WAC WEEK 11 OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Boise State wide receiver Austin Pettis, a junior from Anaheim, Calif. (Lutheran HS), caught eight passes for 123 yards and four touchdowns in Boise State's 63-25 win over Idaho. The four touchdown receptions tied a school record and gave him a nation-best 14 on the season, also setting a new school record. The touchdowns came from 4, 8, 20 and 14 yards with the first three coming in the first half. It was the first time a WAC player caught four touchdown passes in a game since Hawai'i's Jason Rivers did it against Washington on Dec. 1, 2007. Others nominated on offense: junior wide receiver Greg Salas, Hawai'i; Nevada's offensive line; and sophomore running back Robert Turbin, Utah State. - WAC football
11/14/09 - Kellen Moore threw four touchdown passes to Austin Pettis and tied a career high with five overall, helping No. 6 Boise State rout Idaho 63-25 on Saturday. Titus Young had a 100-yard kickoff return that was actually longer and Kyle Wilson returned an interception 71 yards for another score for the big-play Broncos (10-0, 5-0 WAC), who beat their rivals for the 11th consecutive time. Moore, the nation’s passing efficiency leader with 32 touchdowns and just three interceptions, passed Steve Young for 19th place on the Western Athletic Conference’s list for career touchdown passes. His 57th in two seasons was to Pettis early in the fourth quarter. - AP Sports
11/06/09 - Kellen Moore threw for 354 yards and three touchdowns, and No. 5 Boise State survived a brief scare on the road with a 45-35 victory over upstart Louisiana Tech on Friday night. Tech had pulled within 30-28 early in the fourth quarter on Dennis Morris’ leaping catch in the corner of the end zone. The Broncos defense buckled down long enough after that for Boise State to pull away with touchdowns on consecutive drives, the second score coming on Jeremy Avery’s 44-yard touchdown run. Avery finished with 146 yards rushing, while Titus Young caught eight passes for 110 yards and a touchdown for Boise State (9-0, 4-0 Western Athletic Conference). - AP Sports
10/14/09 - SCOUTING THE OFFENSE: The Broncos need to do a better job finishing drives. They have scored touchdowns on just 16 of 27 red-zone trips, including six empty visits. That problem plagued them in their last outing against UC Davis, when the Broncos netted six points out of their first three red-zone trips. The problems have been multiple penalties, bad snaps, turnovers and, at times, soft running by the tailbacks. PLAYERS TO WATCH: WR Austin Pettis made 10 catches against UC Davis, giving him 28 receptions for 378 yards and six touchdowns this season. He has become more of a big-play threat this year.
