Junior corner back Bryan Douglas spoke with the media earlier today for the first time since tearing his ACL last season. Douglas discussed his rehab and how it feels to be back on the field for a season with spots to fill in the defensive backfield.

A Bronco through and through, Ryan Clady went from All-American with the Boise State Broncos to All-Pro with the Denver Broncos.
Clady, the highest-drafted player in Boise State history (No. 12 in 2008), was a three-year starter for the Broncos before foregoing his senior season to enter the National Football League Draft.
He began his Bronco career by starting 11-of-13 games at right tackle as a redshirt freshman in 2005, and was named Freshman All-America by ESPN.com, Rivals.com, CollegeFootballNews.com and Sporting News.
He moved to left tackle in 2006, starting all 13 games en route to second-team SI.com All-America honors. As a senior in 2007, Clady was a Consensus All-American after once again starting each of the team's 13 games.
Since joining Denver, Clady became just the fourth offensive lineman in NFL history to start every game (80) and make three Pro Bowls during his first five seasons.
He earned All-Pro recognition in each of his first two seasons, including a first-team nod in 2009 - just the fifth offensive tackle since 1970 to earn the honor by his second season in the NFL. He was once again named All-Pro in 2012 after allowing the fewest sacks in the league (1.0) amongst 16-game starting tackles.
This offseason Clady signed a five-year contract with the Broncos for $52.5 million, and the deal could be worth as much as $57.5 million with incentives. At $10.5 million per year, Clady is the third-highest paid offensive tackle in the NFL.

Just 10 more days until the season opener at Husky Stadium. With that in mind, he are some facts and figures relating to the No. 10:
...Boise State ranks tied for 10th-nationally with seven individuals on its roster who have already received their degrees entering the 2013 season.
...John Smith hauled in double-digit touchdown receptions in 1974 and 1975, becoming the first Bronco to catch at least 10 scores twice in a career.
...There are exactly 10 200-yard receiving performances all-time at Boise State: Tim Gilligan (2000-03), Winky White (1987-90) and Kipp Bedard (1979-81) each had two, while Rodney Smith (1997-98), Mike Holton (1974-76), Don Hutt (1970-73) and Al Marshall (1969-72) each had one.
...Boise State has won at least 10 games in each of the last seven seasons, the longest active streak in the nation, and tied for the fifth-longest streak by any school in the modern era.
