By TODD DVORAKAssociated Press

BOISE, Idaho (AP) - San Diego State coach Rocky Long is taking a realistic approach to the fact his team heads into Boise State with a chance to take a big step toward the school's first conference title in 14 years.

Long is also being careful to play down the expectations building for Saturday's showdown with the No. 19 Broncos.

The second-year coach bluntly dismissed any speculation this week on where an upset of the heavily favored Broncos would rank among victories in school history, or what a win would mean to the future of a program facing a competitive upgrade next year as a member of the Big East.
