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.

SAN FRANCISCO -- An exasperated San Francisco Giants team is still trying to find a way out of its post-All Star Game funk.Its hard to put into words how tough each (loss) is, Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford said.In the latest setback, Crawford had two extra-base hits and three RBI, and Buster Posey and Angel Pagan had three hits each, but the Pittsburgh Pirates rallied from a four-run deficit to complete a three-game sweep of the freefalling Giants with a 6-5 victory on Wednesday.The Giants, who on Tuesday fell out of first place in the NL West for the first time in 97 days, lost their fourth straight. They fell to 9-21, the worst record in the majors since the All-Star break. They dropped 1 1/2 games behind the Dodgers, who beat Philadelphia on Wednesday night.Asked if the Giants are nearing a breaking point, first baseman Brandon Belt said I think weve already reached that to a point.Weve had the meetings, weve done all kinds of stuff, were just not winning ballgames right now, so weve got to find a way to turn that around, he said.The Pirates won their fourth straight game and sixth in seven. They remain a game behind St. Louis, which beat Houston 8-2, in the race for the NL wild card.Andrew McCutchen hit a two-run homer, his 17th, which capped a six-run rally in the fifth inning that chased Giants starter Matt Cain (4-8).Cain had allowed one hit and had faced just one batter over the minimum with a 4-0 lead going into his disastrous fifth inning, when the Pirates scored six runs on four walks, three hits and a hit batsman.He was throwing so well and he just lost his release point, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.I probably stuck with him out there a little longer to be honest. I felt like he had enough to get through it. It didnt play out.Cains first pitch to McCutchen was an 89 mph fastball over the heart of the plate, and the Pirates center fielder pounced.I was trying to throw a fastball and left it right down the middle, Cain said.I think the biggest thing was I was trying to make too good of pitches instead of staying a little more aggressive, it just got me out of whack. I wasnt that far off in the inning. ... I just made a bad pitch to him (McCutchen).The losss typified the plight of a team with the best record in the majors going into the All-Star break that is now stuck in a downward spiral.ddddddddddddt seems like one game youve got the pitcher shutting the other guys down and the offense isnt doing anything and the next game the offense is doing OK and the leads are gone, Belt said. If we could get on the same page, then thats how we won a lot of those games in the first half.Jeff Locke (9-7) pitched a scoreless fifth.Tony Watson survived a scoreless ninth after the Giants loaded the bases with no outs for his seventh save in eight tries since taking over Pittsburghs closers role.After inducing Buster Posey to ground into a run-scoring double play, Watson got Crawford to fly out to shallow center and McCutchen made a game-ending running catch.Pagan extended his hitting streak to 15 games.LA STORYBochy hasnt announced whether hell use Mondays day off to skip Cains spot in the rotation for next weeks series against the Dodgers, but Cain is aware of the possibility. It would be hard for me, Cain said. Those are big games in LA and they are the games you look forward to and compete in. But we have to do whatever we have to do right now. We have to find a ways to get back right track and winning and get some mojo going.TRAINERS ROOMGiants: Bochy had Posey in the lineup for a day game after a night game after the All-Star catcher missed two consecutive games with lower back tightness. I dont want him going out there if theres any risk of making it worse, he says hes fine, Bochy said. ... Belt dropped to the ground after fouling a pitch off his right knee in the fifth inning but stayed in the game. He said he felt OK running first to third later in the inning but expects bruising. It didnt feel good, Belt said, theres not a lot of padding there.UP NEXTGiants: LHP Madison Bumgarner will pitch the series opener with the Mets on Thursday. The All-Star threw seven shutout innings against Baltimore in his most recent outing to snap a streak of five winless starts in which he was 0-3 and the Giants were 0-5.
