Pending what Central District Health decrees late this afternoon, here’s one thought on what’s left of the Boise State football season. If the Wyoming game next week is a no-go, and the Mountain West championship game disintegrates, why not just ticket the Broncos for the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl and call it good?
Another mood adjustment
It was going to feel almost normal to be talking today about quarterbacks and tight ends and offensive possibilities.
A destination for Bronco Nation
If it weren’t for 2020, this UNLV game would be one blue-and-orange people would flock to. Boise State has poured as many as 15,000 fans into rickety old Sam Boyd Stadium through three games against the Rebels and five Las Vegas Bowls.
The symbol will be in bold
Everyone asks how big an asterisk should be placed on the 2020 college football season. It’s getting bigger every week.
Boise State football joins the club
Considering how things are in Idaho right now, it was amazing Boise State made it to Week 6 before having a game canceled. It was painful when it happened Saturday less than five hours before the San Jose State game, but it was not shocking.
Salute to one particular senior
If there was one Boise State player poised for a senior explosion this fall, it was cornerback Jalen Walker. His steady rise as a junior was expected to morph him into an NFL prospect this year, and the schedule was favorable in showcasing his skills.
The Spartans’ Saturday mantra
It is well-documented. San Jose State never beaten Boise State in 14 tries. You can hear this around the Silicon Valley right now: “There’s always a first time.”
A different kind of Senior Day
Wasn’t it just yesterday this convoluted Boise State football season started? No, it was actually one month ago today. That’s weird enough. Now the Broncos are looking at Senior Day this Saturday—one unlike any other they’ve seen.
Avery Williams: He did it again
Avery Williams was a game-changer again on Saturday night. Hawaii had just pulled to within 10 points of Boise State on its opening possession of the second half, an 87-yard drive that would foretell the difficulties the Broncos would have the rest of the game.
Graham & Kinne, 10 years later
Boise State has faced new Hawaii coach Todd Graham once before. His offensive coordinator, twice.
