HONOLULU -- Boise State left the swim trunks home.I dont think its about going to the beach, its not about those things and thats one of the things about going to Hawaii and playing, coach Bryan Harsin said Thursday about the No. 24 Broncos trip to face Hawaii on Saturday night.I think if we start looking ahead at, `Hey, were traveling to Hawaii, thats a problem. Were going to play Hawaii and theyre a very good team.The Broncos (8-1, 4-1 Mountain West) got off to a 7-0 start before losing at Wyoming, 30-28. They bounced back with a 45-31 victory over San Jose State last Friday night behind a pair of 100-yard rushers in Jeremy McNichols (158 yards, two touchdowns) and Alex Mattison (100, one touchdown).McNichols, a 5-foot-9, 207-pound junior, has eclipsed the 100-yard mark in seven games this season, including his last four games. He set career-highs in carries (40), rushing yards (217) and all-purpose yards (264) in a 28-23 win over Colorado State a month ago.McNichols ranks fourth nationally with 1,216 rushing yards and leads all FBS players with 20 touchdowns this season. Since the start of last season, he has scored 46 touchdowns, more than any other player. McNichols, who has scored a touchdown in 21 consecutive games, is on the watch lists for both the Maxwell and Doak Walker awards.As good as the Broncos have been running the ball, they can just as well air it out with sophomore quarterback Brett Rypien, who leads the Mountain West in passing yards (2,578), touchdowns (18) and total offense (282.4 yards per game).Rypien, last years Mountain West Freshman of the Year and a First Team all-conference pick, is already sixth on Boise States passing yardage list (5,931) and eighth in touchdown passes (38). His favorite target has been senior receiver Thomas Sperbeck, who has 57 catches for 909 yards and seven touchdowns this season. Sperbeck became the schools career leader in receiving yards (3,238) when he passed Titus Young against BYU on Oct. 20 this season.Theyre a strong team, Hawaii defensive coordinator Kevin Lempa said. Again, theyre another team that runs the football, but along with that theyve got some good receivers and their quarterback is a drop-back, pro-style quarterback that can throw the ball also.The Rainbow Warriors (4-6, 3-3) are coming off their worst loss of the season, a 55-0 drubbing at San Diego State. It was their worst loss since losing by the same score at Boise State last season.Hawaii first-year coach Nick Rolovich said facing the Broncos who have won the last five meetings and 11 of the 14 overall against the Rainbow Warriors will serve as a gut check.We have to respond because that was as poor or a performance at San Diego State that we could have drawn up, so weve got a lot of bounce back that we need to do this week, Rolovich said. (San Diego State and Boise State) are the guys that we have to aspire to be like if we want to compete in this conference consistently, so we got a first-hand look and weve obviously got a long way to go, but were looking forward to the challenge that Boise is going to bring.Hawaiis last win in the series came in 2007, when it went on to a Sugar Bowl appearance. All three of its wins against Boise State have come in Honolulu.We have to understand what were getting into, Harsin said. They played in some big games this year, too. They played Michigan, they played Cal, so theyll be ready to play and we have to certainly be focused and ready to play because if not, every single week in college football, if you dont show up with the right focus, I dont care how good you are, youre going to be in a battle and you could get beat.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- A judge has ordered organizers of the Rio Olympics to allow peaceful protests inside venues after several fans were escorted out of stadiums for holding up anti-government signs.As Brazils political crisis has deepened, with the Senate taking up impeachment proceedings Tuesday against suspended President Dilma Rousseff, many are increasingly voicing their political grievances at Olympic events. Their almost universal slogan, on handwritten signs, T-shirts and social media, is Fora Temer, a call for the removal of interim President Michel Temer.The International Olympic Committee bans political statements at the games and has pleaded with fans not to disrupt competition. Cellphone video of fans being removed by security forces has been shared widely on social media, drawing comparisons with the kind of censorship seen during Brazils 1964-1985 military dictatorship.Luis Moreira, one of 50,000 volunteers at the games, sparked something of a media craze by posting a photo of his Olympic credential defaced with a hand-sketched Fora Temer sticker. The 25-year-old communications student said he always dreamed of watching the Olympics up close and looked forward to serving as a goodwill ambassador for Rio de Janeiro.But he says he became disillusioned after seeing four heavily armed military commandos grab a seated man at an archery event Saturday and remove him for holding up an anti-government banner. The incident was caught on a cellphone and shared almost 3 million times on Facebook. Rather than be asked to carry out a similar order, Moreira decided to quit as the coordinator of a group of 30 volunteers at the tennis venue.For the IOC to decide what we can and cannot do in my country is not right, Moreira told The Associated Press. Freedom of speech is guaranteed in our constitution, and the committee cant do anything against that.A federal judge in Rio agreed. In a temporary injunction issued late Monday, the judge said that nothing in special legislation passed before the games restricts Brazilians right to free expression. He threatened to levy fines of up to $3,200 on anyone who removes peaceful protesters from venues.The Rio organizing committee said it plans too ask the judge to reconsider his ruling and will make a final appeal, if necessary.ddddddddddddThis is a global event, and we think and we hope that the stadiums would not become a platform for political debate, IOC spokesman Mark Adams said Tuesday, adding that it nonetheless plans to absolutely respect Brazilian law.Protest at the Olympics is nothing new. At the Sochi Winter Olympics in 2014, the head of Russias Communist Party was told to take down a hammer-and-sickle Soviet banner that he and lawmakers held up.South Americas first games couldnt have come at a more politically sensitive time, with senators expected Tuesday to vote overwhelmingly to allow an impeachment trial against Rousseff to move forward.Temer, who took over from Rousseff in May, was booed when he spoke at the opening ceremony. His approval ratings in polls are around the same low levels as Rousseff, blamed by many for widespread corruption in the Workers Party and for steering Latin Americas biggest economy into a recession.To get around the ban on protests inside stadiums, some Brazilians have coordinated with friends each wearing a letter on T-shirts so the message reads Fora Temer when they sit in groups. Others carry smaller signs hidden in their belongings, sometimes fashioned with the Olympic rings.Vinicius Lummertz, president of the government-run tourism board Embratur, said he has no problem with peaceful protests in stadiums as long as the games arent disturbed.Its democracy in action, he told the AP, dismissing concerns the protests could cast Brazil in a negative light. When you think of the size of this democracy, and the youth of this democracy, it tells good things about us.He said the protesters dont speak for the vast majority of Brazilians who have grown disillusioned with 13 years of leftist rule under Rousseff and her predecessor, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.People who were against Temers platform were millions, then thousands, then hundreds, he said. Now they are five or six people who get together.---AP Sports Writer Stephen Wilson contributed to this report. ' ' '
