It took just one hit for No. 24 Boise State to see two of its season goals possibly go bouncing away.Last weeks loss at Wyoming was a major blow to Boise States hopes of earning the Group of Five berth to one of the major New Years bowls. It also severely damaged the Broncos hopes of even winning a Mountain West Conference title with Boise State now needing Wyoming to lose twice just to win the Mountain Division.If the Broncos (7-1, 3-1 Mountain West) are to keep their hopes alive for either of those accomplishments, they cant afford another stumble from here on out, beginning with Fridays game against San Jose State.Youre not in the drivers seat but to be honest with you youre not in the drivers seat until the end of the season anyway. It all has to play out, Boise State coach Bryan Harsin said.Thats an optimistic view from Harsin, but there is history behind his optimism. Two years ago, the Broncos lost a conference game at Air Force, but got the breaks they needed to win the Mountain Division, win the conference championship game and landed as the highest-ranked Group of Five team to earn a Fiesta Bowl bid.The difference two years ago: Boise States loss came at the end of September with seven games remaining. Boise State has just three games left after hosting the Spartans.Thats why the loss to Wyoming could be so damaging. There may not be time for Boise State to make up enough ground and get help from others.The Cowboys rallied to tie the game at 28-all. Then Chase Appleby sacked Boise State quarterback Brett Rypien and forced a fumble that bounced out of the back of the end zone for a safety with 1:25 left for what proved to be the winning points.We didnt make enough plays in the game, Harsin said. Theres always things that you want back. Theres always things that you want back in games that you win.San Jose State (3-6, 2-3) has won two of its past three and must win its final three games to become bowl eligible for a second straight season. But the Spartans havent beaten a ranked team on the road since winning at Baylor in 1980.Theyve got good players across the board. A well-balanced football team, San Jose State coach Ron Caragher said. Were going to need to play on a very high level for four quarters.Other things to watch as Boise State looks to improve to 13-0 all-time against San Jose State:RYPIENS BOUNCEBACK: Boise State quarterback Brett Rypiens play will be closely watched after it was his fumble that bounced out of the end zone and gave Wyoming the decisive points for its upset victory. Rypien threw for 295 yards and caught a touchdown pass on a trick play against the Cowboys, but the Broncos punted on four of six second-half possessions and the last possession ended with the safety.FEED JEREMY: Boise State running back Jeremy McNichols had another standout day against Wyoming, rushing for 143 yards and two touchdowns. McNichols has topped 100 yards six times this season. He rushed for 192 yards and two touchdowns last year against San Jose State.McNichols is one of three running backs in the Mountain West already topping 1,000 yards rushing, and is No. 6 in the country. But he trails San Diego States Donnel Pumphrey and Wyomings Brian Hill.NO TURNOVERS: Boise State has yet to find the key to forcing turnovers.Through eight games, the Broncos have forced just four turnovers -- three interceptions and one fumble recovery. Thats last in the country and Boise State has a minus-9 in turnover margin.I cant recall being minus-9 in turnovers, ever, and having as few as weve had, Harsin said.San Jose State knows how important it is to protect the ball. In their three wins this season, the Spartans have not committed a turnover.Its no coincidence weve won the turnover battle the last three weeks and won two of those three games, Caragher said.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org Dennis Rodman Jersey . -- Josh Sterk scored once and set up two more as the Oshawa Generals edged the visiting Belleville Bulls 3-2 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos?have signed outside linebacker?Von Miller?to a six-year deal through the 2021 season, the team announced Friday.The deal is for $114.5 million and includes a record $70 million guaranteed, according to ESPN sources and multiple reports. That makes Miller the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history based on guaranteed money, as well as the highest-paid player in Denver franchise history.Im super happy and excited to be back with my teammates for the next six years, Miller said in a statement released by the team. This is something I really wanted-to stay with the Denver Broncos. I am so appreciative and grateful for this opportunity. I want to thank Mr. [Pat] Bowlen, Joe Ellis, John Elway and Coach [Gary] Kubiak for making this possible. Im also thankful for the way my teammates and our fans have supported me. Im excited for the future and ready to get back to work.Miller, the reigning Super Bowl MVP, tweeted a photo of himself in a Broncos jersey Friday with the caption FOR LIFE.The deal, which ended the sometimes testy negotiations of the past five months, got done when the Broncos significantly pumped up the guaranteed money from an offer that Miller and his representatives turned down in June.Miller gets a $23 million signing bonus and $42 million guaranteed at signing, $61 million guaranteed after the first year and $70 million guaranteed after the second year of the deal, the sources said. Those totals pushed Miller past the guaranteed money Fletcher Cox received in his contract with the Philadelphia Eagles in recent weeks. Cox got more than $36 million at signing, $55 million in the first nine months and $63 million guaranteed by the deals third year.Millers contract also pushed him into the neighborhood of quarterback contracts in terms of guaranteed money, putting him behind only Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck.Two weeks ago, Luck signed a $140 million deal that will pay him $87 million guaranteed.Vons earned this contract not only for what hes done in the past but for what we believe hell do in the future, said Elway, the Broncos executive vice president of football operations/general manager. This was a long process that ended the way we all wanted -- with Von being part of the Denver Broncos for many more years. Our team had a tremendous year last season, and the way Von performed the final few weeks was such a big part of our Super Bowl run. Going forward, we expect great things from Von, not only on the field, but with the responsibility he has as a leader on the team. Im proud of how weve handled this situation and give credit to everyone on our staff who helped get this done.Miller was designated the teams franchise player in February, which came with a one-year guaranteed tender of more than $14 million for the 2016 season. But the two sides tried, with some starts and stops, to negotiate a long-term deal after the scouting combine in February.The Broncos and Miller faced a Friday deadline for franchise players to sign long-term deals before the 2016 season. If Miller had not agreed to a contract, he would have had to decide whether to play under the rules and salary of the franchise-player tender or consider sitting out the 2016 season.In recent weeks, negotiations appeared to be stalling, as sources said Miller and his representatives had requested a trade if the Broncos didnt increase their offer. The Broncos had no intention of trading Miller, who is a cornerstone player in the teams defense.The Broncos and Millers agent, Joby Branion, haad largely agreed to the contracts six-year length and the total amount before the summer.dddddddddddd But the Broncos initially offered less guaranteed money overall and sought to largely spread those guarantees over the first three years of the deal.The Broncos offer in June included $39.8 million guaranteed in the first two years -- $38.5 million guaranteed money at signing with $1.3 million in workout bonuses. But with a finger pointed at the market, Miller and his representatives flagged Coxs six-year, $102.6 million deal with the Eagles.In that deal, Cox received $36.299 million in guaranteed money at signing and an additional $19.25 million in salary guarantees in March 2017, for $55.549 million in guarantees within nine months of signing.Olivier Vernons contract with the New York Giants, signed in March, also had an impact on the negotiations. Vernon signed a five-year, $85 million deal with $52.5 million guaranteed. Vernon received $40.5 million of that guaranteed money at signing and will receive another $12 million by the third day of the league year in 2018.Despite Millers saying he expected negotiations to be peaceful and that he trusted Elway things had gotten emotional in recent weeks.The team was frustrated with the inability to get a deal done before the end of the offseason program in mid-June -- Miller skipped all of the teams conditioning and on-field work -- while Miller told many close to him he was blindsided when some of the specifics of the contract were made public in June.Miller made the trip to the White House with his Super Bowl 50 teammates and attended the ring ceremony at which the players received their Super Bowl jewelry. But he made no secret of his anger, even cropping Elway out of a picture taken at the White House and posting it on social media.Miller later posted on social media there was no chance he would play the 2016 season under the franchise tag.It all created some unease around the Broncos about whether the team would increase the guaranteed money in the contract and move that money around so Miller would receive it sooner in the deal.Throughout the negotiations, Elway said Miller knows how the Broncos feel about him, he knows how I feel about him. Elway has called Miller a rare player that the team wanted to keep on the roster.I know this took a lot of hard work from John and Von to get this done, and were thrilled that Von is going to be a Bronco for a long time, Kubiak said. Ive known him since he was a kid in college. Most of all, Im proud of how far Vons come as both a person and a player. Its a great day for him and the organization. Were all excited to get back to work with Von as a leader of our team.Miller, the Broncos first-round pick in 2011, has 60 sacks in five seasons and played a key role on last seasons league-leading defense. He reached what Kubiak called a dominant level of play in a postseason run that included five sacks, two forced fumbles and an interception in the teams three postseason games.His sack and forced fumble on Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton in Super Bowl 50 created the Broncos first touchdown, as Denvers Malik Jackson recovered the fumble in the Panthers end zone.Millers ascension to Super Bowl MVP came after a troubled 2013 season during which he was suspended six games under the leagues substance abuse policy. Miller also tore his right ACL in the second-to-last regular-season game of 2013. ' ' '
