Coach Andy Avalos said Sunday that both of his quarterbacks, Hank Bachmeier and Jack Sears, are operating the new Boise State offense at a high level. Avalos even added that true freshman Taylen Green “is now able to operate and run the majority of the playbook.”

Faces of fall in Albertsons Stadium?
Boise State athletic director Jeramiah Dickey’s quest for “six games—six sellouts” this season has hit a pothole. On Twitter Wednesday night, Dickey said essentially that it’s back to a bubble for football and other Broncos sports.
