The Mountain West (Tuesday and Wednesday) and WAC (Thursday) will hold their annual football media previews this week in Las Vegas. The Idaho Statesman’s college football reporter, Chadd Cripe, and sports columnist, Brian Murphy, will be there to report all the news and sound bytes — in the paper, in the Bronco Beat and Murph’s Turf blogs at IdahoStatesman.com and on their Twitter accounts, @IDS_BroncoBeat and @murphsturph. Here are some key moments during the week (all times Mountain):
