The most challenging stretch of Boise States season comes just as the Broncos have returned to the rankings.Four games in just 20 days await the 24th-ranked Broncos, beginning with Saturday nights matchup against Utah State.Hosting the Aggies is the start of a hectic stretch that will largely determine whether Boise State (3-0) is in the conversation for a major bowl game at the end of the season. After hosting Utah State, the Broncos play at New Mexico next Friday; host Colorado State on Oct. 15 and five days later host BYU.Following its successful run through two Pac-12 schools, knocking off Washington State 31-28 and last week winning handily at Oregon State 38-24, Boise State is back to being focused on the Mountain West Conference.Thats what these three games have been about is getting into Mountain West play and we certainly start with a very good team, Boise State coach Bryan Harsin said.And there could be no better opponent for Boise State to start with than the one that a year ago handed the Broncos their most lopsided loss in conference play since 2001.That was last years team. That was last years group that played in that game. This is a different team, different group, Harsin said. Certainly guys played in that game but its a completely different team and all you can do is go back and learn from it and say that doesnt really apply to what were doing right now. You certainly dont want to see that repeated. You learn from it and you move forward.Utah States 52-26 romp in Logan last October was a dozen years in the making, snapping Boise States 12-game winning streak over the Aggies. Utah State (2-2, 0-1) forced eight turnovers, scored 21 points during an 85-second span, and handed the Broncos their worst setback in a conference game since a 2001 loss to Rice when they were in the WAC.If we wouldve taken a loss to Boise State last year, I would take it personally. So, I would hope that they would, too, Utah State wide receiver Andrew Rodriguez said. But any game, especially going there and playing them, its going to be an interesting situation. Its going to be a privilege to play there and I hope its going to be a great game.Here are things to look for when Boise State plays its first game as a ranked team since mid-October of last season:JEREMY SPOKE: Boise State running back Jeremy McNichols is coming off the best game of his career with 208 yards rushing and four total touchdowns last week against Oregon State. It was McNichols second straight 100-yard game after a slow start in the season opener against Louisiana.McNichols missed last years game at Utah State due to injuries.I think we missed him in the pass game and running the football, too. ... When one of your better players isnt in, that shows up, Harsin said.TURNOVER PARTY: Utah State would love to replicate what it did last year against Boise State, forcing a school record-tying eight turnovers. The Aggies forced five fumbles and had three interceptions after Boise State entered that game with just six turnovers on the season.This season, Boise State has committed five turnovers in four games.LEARNING PROCESS: Brett Rypien was far better protecting the football against Oregon State after some lax moments in the victory over Washington State. Rypien was 19 of 36 for 215 yards and a touchdown against the Beavers. In his start versus Washington State, Rypien threw three interceptions, including two in the fourth quarter that gave the Cougars a chance to rally.INJURY CONCERNS: Utah State could be down two of its top players due to injuries, one on each side of the ball. Running back Devante Mays had just two carries last week against Air Force before aggravating an existing leg injury. Safety Dallin Leavitt injured his ankle in the third quarter against the Falcons.Mays is the Aggies leading rusher, but most of his yards came in the opener against Weber State when he rushed for 208 yards and three touchdowns.

Rooney is facing increased competition ahead of this summers championships, with the likes of Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy consistently scoring in the Premier League, reaching 21 and 19 goals respectively, while Rooney has found the net seven times.Despite struggling for both form and fitness this season, former England striker Sheringham insists there should not be any question over Rooneys place in the team, and believes he is integral to the sides hopes this summer. Wayne Rooney has struggled in front of goal for Manchester United this season Hes a proven goal scorer at international level. He knows the game and he knows where to be at the right time, said Sheringham.I think he would accommodate Harry Kane perfectly. I feel his best position is just behind the front man. He wouldnt get in Kanes way, and Kane wouldnt get in Rooneys way.He makes the team tick, he can play defensively if need be in that sort of area. I think were going to need that experience.Hes been there at those major tournaments - its not just about youth and pace - you have to have a bit of everything in a football team, and Rooney adds so much.While Rooney will not feature in Englands clash with the Netherlands on Tuesday, Tottenham striker Kane almost certainly will. Harry Kane has been in great form for club and country this season As well as his continued form in front of goal for his club, Kane has also scored four times in nine appearances for the national team, including Englands first against Germany on Saturday.Sheringham, who scored 98 league goals during two spells at Tottenham, believes Kane will only go from strength to strength.I think hes got everything as a striker. He can score with his left foot, right foot, headed goals, he can score from range and in the six-yard box. Teddy Sheringham explains why Harry Kane is such a rare talent He can run long he can drop off into areas that ask the defenders questions, he can hold the ball up and hes strong.dddddddddddd Hes got a bit of everything.Hes the complete striker. At an early age, hes very unusual. You dont usually get to know your own game until you are 26, 27 or 28, when you come into your prime.He seems to know about his game - he wants to score goals and he wants to show you that he wants to score goals, and long may it continue. Should Rooney start at Euro 2016? Get involved in the debate over whether captain should start. Kane was one of four Spurs players to receive high praise following their performances in Berlin on Saturday. Dele Alli, Danny Rose and Eric Dier all featured too, and Sheringham told Sky Sports News HQ that the good understanding between players could benefit England at the Euros.Yes its important that players understand each others different ways of playing when playing for England.The more players know about each other, the better. Whether thats going to be the winning partnership in the Premier League, who knows, it might be the other partnership in the east Midlands. Sheringham scored 11 times for England between 1993 and 2002 Sheringham also revealed his preferred England lineup for the tournament. Aside from confirming a Kane-Rooney partnership, he also believes there should be a recall for Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick.I feel in a major tournament, Michael Carrick is a must for me.Hes not in this squad but hes a player who wants to get on ball, makes teams tick, makes other players look good around him. If things are going bad, he will get on the ball and try and make things happen.Carrick and Henderson can sit back and free up Barkley and Alli. Up front, wed have a devastating partnership of Rooney and Kane. Theres goals all over the pitch there, players that can keep the ball at the right times which you have to do, and a bit of composure as well. Also See: Should Rooney start for England?
