Presented by RIB SHACK BARBECUE & CATERING. Friday, January 15, 2021. It’s been four whole days since Kellen Moore was mentioned in the Scott Slant. Now the subject is: NFL head coaching jobs.

SCOTT SLANT: New heights, again
Presented by the ASHLEY INN OF CASCADE. Thursday, January 14, 2021. Another game without Emmanuel Akot, another rout for Boise State.

SCOTT SLANT: Up to expectations so far
Presented by RIB SHACK BARBECUE & CATERING. Wednesday, January 13, 2021.

SCOTT SLANT: High-altitude accomplishment
Presented by the ASHLEY INN OF CASCADE. Tuesday, January 12, 2021. Boise State is in rarified air, and we’re not talking Laramie’s elevation.

SCOTT SLANT: Connecting the flight dots
Presented by the ASHLEY INN OF CASCADE. Friday, January 8, 2021.

It was Boise State’s ninth win in a row, one short of the school record. The Falcons…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Moore and Dickey may have matched
Presented by the ASHLEY INN OF CASCADE. Wednesday, January 6, 2021. Troy Aikman is high on Kellen Moore. But Boise State probably isn’t high on Aikman and his view on what happened with Moore in the Broncos’ coaching search.
