UNLV just did Boise State a big favor but the No. 23 Broncos are unlikely to take that into consideration on Friday night.The Rebels stunning 69-66 triple-overtime victory over Wyoming last Saturday has revived Boise States Mountain West championship hopes and the Broncos look to strengthen their conference positioning when they host the Rebels (9 p.m. ET, ESPN2).Boise State (9-1, 5-1) lost to Wyoming on Oct. 29 and that result gave the Cowboys the upper hand in terms of winning the Mountain Division of the Mountain West. Wyoming still controls its fate but UNLVs dramatic victory in the third-highest scoring game in FBS history has greatly improved the Broncos chances.Boise State needs to win its final two games and have the Cowboys lose one of their final two contests to have a chance at the conference championship and a possible Cotton Bowl berth.Boise State coach Bryan Harsin doesnt want to get caught up in the what-if scenarios. He wants the focus to be only on Fridays game against UNLV.We cant control that, Harsin told reporters. We know what happened, guys know the scores and all those things. But I said this two weeks ago, we dont feel we control anything until the end of the year. So we have UNLV and thats really it.The talk again is going to be about all this stuff we cant control. If we eat that up, then were going to put ourselves in a really bad position. We have UNLV, thats it.The Rebels (4-6, 3-3) are the type of team that could typically be easy to overlook. Not so after the wild victory over Wyoming.UNLV rolled up 653 yards of total offense -- the second most in school history -- and punished the Cowboys by rushing for 401 yards.To be able to come up and get this one against a really good team is a big deal for us, Rebels coach Tony Sanchez said. Its just another brick in the rebuilding process.Junior quarterback Kurt Palandech made his first start of the season and he excelled by accounting for four touchdowns (three passing, one rushing) while establishing career highs for passing yardage (252) and rushing yardage (157).The news wasnt all good for the Rebels as standout junior receiver Devonte Boyd was lost for the season with a broken left arm. Boyd finishes the season with 45 receptions for 746 yards and four touchdowns and nobody else on the Rebels has more than 13 receptions or reached the modest total of 200 yards.Boise State doesnt lack productive receivers and features a fine duo in senior Thomas Sperbeck and junior Cedrick Wilson, who share the team lead with nine touchdown receptions.Sperbeck has caught 62 passes for 1,023 yards and ranks fourth in school history with 206 career receptions. Wilson has 44 receptions for 827 yards.Sophomore quarterback Brett Rypien has recovered from a shaky midseason stretch and has passed for 2,916 yards and 22 touchdowns.I think were clicking a lot better than we have all year, Rypien said, and you want to be playing your best football coming into the end of the year and I think were doing that.Junior running back Jeremy McNichols has been playing top-level football all season and he leads the nation with 22 touchdowns (18 rushing, four receiving). McNichols ranks fifth nationally with 1,369 rushing yards.Boise States run defense has been suspect on a few occasions this season and was gashed for 234 yards by Hawaii in last Saturdays 52-16 victory. The Broncos allowed 217 one week earlier to San Jose State and were carved up for 382 by New Mexico earlier this season.UNLV, which averages 34.4 points per game, plans to test the Boise State defense with runs by Palandech and a backfield led by true freshman Charles Williams (665 yards, three touchdowns) and sophomore Lexington Thomas (632 yards, eight scores). Thomas missed the Wyoming game with a sprained ankle.Defensively, the Rebels allow 35.4 points per game and are led by senior cornerback Torry McTyer (three interceptions) and senior weak-side linebacker Tau Lotulelei (96 tackles).An upset of the Broncos would give UNLV its fifth victory -- matching the combined total of the previous two seasons.But Boise State needs to only look at what happened to Wyoming last week to know that there is impending trouble ahead if it doesnt take care of business on its own end.We still have a lot of work to do, senior weak-side linebacker Ben Weaver told reporters. ... Theres only two games left in the regular season but anything can still happen and we have to look at it way. (Wyoming) losing, obviously, is in our favor and so now its time for us to put our heads down and continue to work. Arizona Cardinals Jerseys .4 million title.

PHILADELPHIA -- Brayden Schenn and Jakob Chychrun punched each other so much they could have used a bell to stop the fight.Schenn would have at least settled for a whistle.With all eyes on the brawl, Martin Hanzal kept his on the puck and slipped it in the net to help the Arizona Coyotes beat the Philadelphia Flyers 5-4 on Thursday night to snap a five-game road losing streak.Schenn, a Flyers center, had no idea why the refs didnt blow the whistle during the scrum.Yeah, thats usually what happens when a fight starts, he said. I dont know if its a delayed whistle or not. I didnt even see the puck go in.Hey, neither did goaltender Steve Mason.Mason allowed Hanzal and Brad Richardson to snap a tie game with two straight goals in the third. Jamie McGinn, Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Ryan White also scored for Arizona, which has its only two wins this season against the Flyers.The Coyotes salvaged one victory on a season-long, six-game road trip.Dont kid yourself. Theres still a lot of work to do, Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said.Louis Domingue stopped 28 shots and won his first game of the season. He had been 0-4 with a 5.03 goals against average and had stopped only 85 percent of his shots.Schenn, Nick Cousins, Andrew MacDonald and Wayne Simmonds scored for the Flyers.Arizonas two straight goals in the third came in a bit of a bizarre manner.Schenn leveled defenseman Michael Stone and Chychrun quickly came to his defense. Chychrun and Schenn brawled against the boards as the crowd erupted -- and no one paid attention to the puck.I wasnt really paying attention to what was going on, Mason said. I was focused on the play coming at me. Whether there was a whistle blown or not, we still gave up a goal.Hanzal made it 3-2 and led to a few confusing moments as officials checked to make sure the goal was scored before the fight. Wildly cheering fans fell silent in a second when the goal was announced.I look at the monitor at my feet and you could see the one referee signal its a good goal, Tippett said. But then I dont know what the other one was doing up by the fight.Chychrun was tossed for instigating the fight.Richardson made it 4-2 on a goal that was reviewed because the Flyers thought hee ran down Mason.dddddddddddd Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov took Richardson down and they went into the net together so the goal counted.MacDonald, having a miserable season, made it 4-3 but the Flyers were out of rallies.White scored an insurance goal late in third to send fans toward the exits. Simmonds scored with 14.3 seconds left.The Flyers again had to rally from an early deficit, a troubling theme for a team with playoff aspirations. The Coyotes led 2-0 in the first, the latest slow start for the Flyers. They have been outscored 8-1 in the first period this season and allowed the first goal for the seventh straight game.Coach Dave Hakstol hoped a line change would boost the Flyers offense. He moved 19-year-old rookie center Travis Konecny to the top line with Claude Giroux and Jake Voracek after that late-game pairing helped the Flyers come back from a 3-1 deficit to beat Buffalo.We needed a spark, thats why were trying something a little bit different, Hakstol said.The Flyers needed help early.Moments after they honored former great Eric Lindros -- in his No. 88 sweater -- another 88 got them with a goal. McGinn scored his first goal of the season to beat Mason. Ekman-Larsson followed with a slapper from the point for his fifth goal of the season.The Coyotes, who last won on opening night against the Flyers on Oct. 15, failed to hold the lead.Cousins pounded home a rebound for his first goal of the season and Schenn followed with a power-play score to help the Flyers at least tie the game when down two goals for the fifth time this season.Game notes The Flyers played without a suspended player for the first time this season. ...
