BOISE, Idaho » The keys to Boise State's game plan were scribbled on a white board in the Broncos' meeting room.

Underlined among them was, “;turnovers!”;

The Broncos' execution of that emphasis sparked a 27-7 win over Hawaii last night. While Boise State kept its chance of playing in another BCS game alive, the Warriors must reset their goal list.

Boise State (6-0, 2-0 Western Athletic) again defended Bronco Stadium's blue turf to send the defending WAC champion Warriors (3-4, 2-2) to their second loss in league play before a crowd of 32,342 and a national television audience.

Boise State held at least a share of the title for five years until Hawaii snatched it away last year with a victory over the Broncos to cap a perfect WAC run. After the Broncos avenged the loss at Aloha Stadium, the Warriors were resigned to crossing out the top line of their three-item list of targets with retaining the WAC title apparently out of reach.

“;We have two more goals - we want to graduate 100 percent of our players and we want to go to a bowl game,”; said McMackin, who conceded “;it would take a miracle”; for the Warriors to get back in title contention.

“;We have six games and we have to win four of them. That's what our goal is. Hopefully we win all of them.”;

Hawaii quarterback Inoke Funaki, whose ability to avoid costly turnovers sparked the Warriors' wins the previous two weeks, tied a school record with five interceptions, three by cornerback Brandyn Thompson.

The Broncos kept the mobile Funaki penned in for most of the game and sacked him five times.

Funaki said Boise State's pressure contributed to the turnovers, “;but you can't make that the excuse,”; he said. “;You still have to take care of the ball.”;

The first interception snuffed a scoring opportunity in the second quarter with the Warriors trailing 10-7. Two more to open the third quarter were converted into Boise State touchdowns as the Broncos took a 24-7 lead.

Boise State added a field goal in the fourth quarter and the Broncos defense recorded 11 tackles for losses in limiting an opponent to seven points or fewer for the fifth time in six games.

“;Last year really left a bitter taste in our mouth,”; Boise State defensive end Mike T. Williams said. “;It was at their house and we had to watch them celebrate. We're used to winning WAC championships around here and they took it from us. So it really just felt good as a team to go out there and knock them off.”;

While Funaki struggled before Greg Alexander finished the game, Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore ran the Broncos offense efficiently, completing 25 of 33 passes for 256 yards and three touchdowns without an interception. The Broncos outgained UH 367 yards to 288.

The Warrior offense operated without leading rusher Kealoha Pilares, who left the game with a sprained ankle late in the first quarter, and the Broncos limited Hawaii to 56 yards rushing.

“;They did a nice job of containing (Funaki) on that option-type deal that we had, took away our running game, and they put us in a lot of third and longs,”; UH offensive coordinator Ron Lee said.

After stopping Boise State to open the game, the Warriors drove to the Boise State 15, but came up empty when they decided to go for it on fourth and 1 and Pilares was dropped for a 3-yard loss.

The Broncos capitalized with scores on their next two drives to take a 10-0 lead. The Warriors defense - which forced 10 turnovers in the previous two games - then delivered two more momentum-turning takeaways.

Cornerback Jameel Dowling popped the ball out of the grasp of Kyle Efaw after a sizable gain and Calvin Roberts snagged the loose ball. A 39-yard completion on a diving catch by Mike Washington set up running back Daniel Libre for a 3-yard touchdown, the first of his career.

The Broncos fumbled the ball away again when Moore mishandled a snap and Solomon Elimimian recovered. But the Warriors gave it right back on Thompson's first interception.

Thompson added another on UH's first possession of the third quarter and safety Jeron Johnson got one of his own.

Moore's touchdown passes to Julian Hawkins and Austin Pettis put the game out of reach.
