By Phil Smith The Idaho Statesman That Old Blue Magic came through again for Boise State Saturday night as the Broncos pulled off their third straight heart-thumping, down-to-thewire victory. This week's victim before 19,179 at Bronco Stadium was Weber State kicker Patrik Schmidle, who was wide right on a 27-yard field goal with 26 seconds remaining in Boise State's 24-21 victory.

A successful kick would have sent the game into overtime. "We were very fortunate to win the football game," said BSU coach Skip Hall, whose team beat Montana and Northern Arizona the last two weeks in similar fashion. "Tonight I thought two teams battled their hearts out." It was the Broncos' fifth straight victory and raised them to 5-2 (3-1 in the Big Sky Conference). Jamie Martin, the 1991 player of the year in Division I-AA, had moved Weber (3-4, 2-3) from its 21 as far as the BSU 8 in the final minutes, setting Big Sky career records for touchdown passes and total offense along the way.

The Cougars last won three straight conference games in 1942 in the old Pacific Coast Conference.

2 for next week's battle with No. 1 Northern Iowa. By Michael Deeds The Idaho Statesman CHENEY, Wash. To be blunt, the Idaho Vandals are beginning to look unstoppable. Idaho sauntered into Woodward Stadium against a fired-up, league-leading Eastern Washington squad and made the biggest game in the Big Sky on Saturday look like no big deal.

Some of the 6,879 fans missed the 38-21 final score because they marched out disgustedly in the third quarter. Even Idaho coach John L. Smith showed signs of believing his team is this good. The fact of the matter is, Idaho ultimately dominated the Eagles in what was dubbed "the biggest regular-season game in the history of the series." The win moved Idaho (6-0, 3-0), ranked No. 3 in NCAA Division 1-AA, into first place in the Big Sky Conference.

The game knocked No. 16 Eastern Washington into second place in the conference at 4-2, 3-1. The win also set up a showdown on Oct. 24 between what could be the top two teams in the nation when Idaho travels to No. 1 Northern Iowa.

Current No. 2 Villanova lost to Delaware 21-20 Saturday and Idaho will likely move up. All in all, a sweet win for Smith's Vandals. "Good game. Real good football World Series Game One Atlanta 3, Toronto 1 Today's game a Toronto (David Cone 4-3) at Atlanta (John Smoltz 15.
