A week ago, Boise States hopes of a Mountain West Conference title got a significant and unlikely boost from UNLV.The Rebels reward for helping out the Broncos? Having to face No. 22 Boise State on Friday night knowing the Broncos have no room for error in their attempt to catch Wyoming in the conferences Mountain Division.So much for saying thanks to the Rebels.They know how to game plan. They seem to have a plan for each opponent, and their guys make plays, Boise State coach Bryan Harsin said. I think its a very tough football team. And offensively, they find ways to move the football. They do have some creative ways of doing it by using their quarterback.Boise State (9-1, 5-1 Mountain West, No. 20 CFP) still does not control its path to the Mountain West championship game even with UNLVs 69-66 triple overtime win over Wyoming last week. The Broncos must win their final two and have Wyoming lose at least once to claim a spot in the title game.Getting there gained more importance this week when the Broncos leaped Western Michigan in the College Football Playoff rankings, putting them in position to claim the Group of Five berth in one of the major New Years bowl games. But the Broncos must win the conference title to gain that berth.We never feel like we control anything until the end of the year. ... Weve got UNLV. Thats it, Harsin said. As simple as that. Weve learned our lesson. We have UNLV. Were going to focus on UNLV. Were trying to play our best game of the season. We feel like we have a little bit of momentum in some areas. A little bit of confidence. Were executing better in some areas.UNLV (4-6, 3-3) needs to win its final two games to become bowl eligible. The win over Wyoming was a huge moment for coach Tony Sanchezs program in overcoming mounting adversity. The Rebels are on their third quarterback of the season and lost all-conference wide receiver Devonte Boyd to a season-ending broken arm.Boyd was the fourth wide receiver to be lost to a season-ending injury.Its kind of a crazy deal. Our whole staff talked about it -- that weve never seen one entire group, Sanchez said. Its one of those deals where you almost have to laugh about it.Other things to watch as the Broncos go for their fifth straight win over the Rebels:RYPIENS SURGE: Over the past two games, Boise State QB Brett Rypien has been nearly perfect. Thats not an exaggeration. Against San Jose State and Hawaii, Rypien was a combined 34 of 43 for 557 yards and seven touchdowns -- nearly as many touchdowns as incompletions.Its an impressive rebound for Rypien after struggling in the Broncos loss at Wyoming.Hes just getting better. Experience for him. He never had that redshirt year, there are things that he is learning as hes gone through this season, Harsin said.NEXT IN LINE: Kurt Palandech was third in line at quarterback for UNLV when the season started. He enters Fridays game as the Mountain West offensive player of the week after setting career highs in completions, yards passing, yards rushing and touchdowns in the upset of Wyoming. Palandech was 20 of 32 for 252 yards and three TDs, and added 157 yards on 16 carries.SPERBECKS FAREWELL: It could be the final game on the blue turf for record-setting Boise State wide receiver Thomas Sperbeck. Hes the school record-holder for yards receiving and one of five receivers in school history with more than 200 receptions.After a quiet game against San Jose State where he had just two catches, Sperbeck rebounded last week against Hawaii with five receptions for 114 yards and two touchdowns, pushing him over the 1,000-yard mark in receiving for the season. Sperbecks nine touchdown catches are tied with Cedrick Wilson for the team lead.RANKED WIN: UNLV is 4-34 all-time against teams ranked in the AP Top 25. The last such victory came eight years ago when the Rebels upset Arizona State.

Washington Redskins coach Jay Gruden spent three years helping to develop Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy DaltonNow he needs to beat him in a game critical for both teams playoff chances when the Bengals host the Redskins at Wembley Stadium in London at 9:30 a.m. Sunday.Gruden, who served the Bengals offensive coordinator for three seasons (2011-13) under head coach Marvin Lewis before coming to Washington, is facing his former team for the first time.We did a lot of great things over there, we thought, but come game time its going to be another game that we have to win, Gruden said after Wednesdays practice. Theyre very well-coached, they have a good football team. ... It will be a great test for us.The Redskins (4-3) had won four straight before losing to Detroit in the final seconds Sunday and trail the Cowboys (5-1) and Eagles (4-2) in the NFC East. After this Sunday, theyll enjoy a bye before a brutal stretch of games in which they host Minnesota and Green Bay before road games at Dallas, Arizona and Philadelphia.You always have an understanding of the competition and where you are, Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins said. But at the same time, theres a lot of football left to be played and its a boring cliche, but its always going to be one game at a time. Thats the best way to approach it and see where we are at the end.The Bengals (3-4), off a win over the Cleveland Browns, are tied for second in the AFC North, only one game behind the Pittsburgh Steelers. They still have four games remaining in the division as they look for a sixth straight playoff berth.Washingtons biggest concern is their health as arguably their three best players -- tight end Jordan Reed (concussion), left tackle Trent Williams (knee), and cornerback Josh Norman (concussion, wrist) -- are on the injury report.All three were limited in practice Wednesday but could play Sunday. In addition, running back Matt Jones (knee) did not practice and Gruden said Robert Kelley will start if Jones cant play.The Redskins gained 417 yards against the Lions but scored just 17 points. That was due in part to losing two fumbles, one by Jones that Detroit recovered in their own end zone.The Redskins are averaging 4.8 yards per rushing attempt. They have rushed for more than 125 yards in each of their last two games and will face the leagues 24th-ranked rushing defense.ddddddddddddousins completed 30 of 38 passes against Detroit for 301 yards.They give you a full dose of everything, both run and pass, Lewis said. A lot of different formations, lot of different route combinations and so forth.The Bengals and Redskins rank fifth and sixth, respectively, in yards per game but 23rd and 15th in points per game as they rank near the bottom in red zone offense, both scoring touchdowns on just 42.9 percent of their trips inside the 20.Cincinnati gained 559 yards against Cleveland. Dalton, the NFLs seventh-rated passer (100.8), has six touchdowns and no picks in his last four games, finishing with a passer rating above 100 in each.I think things have changed, Dalton said when asked about the Redskins having the advantage of Gruden knowing the Bengals offense. Weve got some new players -- obviously theres still some guys that are still here from when he was here -- but I feel like weve added a few guys. I think things have changed enough that Im not too worried about that.Dalton is on a pace (4,720 yards) to shatter his team record (4,293) for passing yards in a season.I see a lot of similarities between Kirk and Andy, Lewis said. I think they both do an incredible job at the line of scrimmage surveying the defense and getting in and out of the right plays. You see the Redskins doing a lot of play changes at the line of scrimmage, which is what Andy has been so good at for us here.The Redskins, perhaps minus Norman, will have to find a way to stop A.J. Green, who leads the NFL with 50 catches and has 775 yards and three touchdowns.Were going to have to change up the coverages, figure out ways to beat him up a little bit at the line of scrimmage, and play a safety over the top from time to time, play a third, play somebody underneath him, and then play some man-to-man, Gruden said.Jeremy Hill, coming off a nine-carry, 168-yard effort against the Browns, should find holes against the Redskins 26th-ranked run defense.The Bengals lead the series 5-4. They won the last meeting 38-31 in 2012 and havent lost to the Redskins since 1991, winning three straight. ' ' '
