There’s been a lot of angst over the December 26 date for Boise State’s trip to the First Responder Bowl.
Rypien is one All-Star rung from the top
Boise State had hoped that Brett Rypien would get an invite to the Senior Bowl next month, and that could still happen. But Rypien has a fall-back position, as he has a roster spot in the 94th East-West Shrine Game January 19 in St. Petersburg.
The Mattison Decision
In the third week of October, Alexander Mattison passing on his senior year to enter the NFL Draft wasn’t even a thing.
Leighton Vander Esch: At the mercy of Jerry J?
Sometimes you wonder which game Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is watching in his comfy suite high above the turf at NFL games.
Sifting through bowl odds and reviews
Boise State is favored by three points—again. The point spread for the First Responder Bowl December 26 in Dallas is: Broncos by three over Boston College.
The ultimate special teams indignity
Many worried that a special teams gaffe would come at the worst time for Boise State. Was there a worse time than with eight minutes left in the Mountain West championship game?
Broncos have gone up and down the bench
“This team has something,” said Boise State coach Bryan Harsin Monday. “It’s not schematics. They play for each other. We avoid this individuality which shouldn’t exist on a team.”
As if the table needed any more setting
The first three games in this two-year Boise State-Fresno State saga have been hotly contested. Maybe none moreso than Saturday night’s Mountain West championship game will be, though.
Broncos and Bulldogs waiting in the wings
It’s pretty clear-cut in my view. After seeing the new College Football Playoff rankings last night, the winner of the Mountain West championship game is in line to get the Group of 5’s spot in a New Year’s Six bowl if UCF loses to Memphis in the American title game. If.
What tradition looks like
There may never be another Group of 5 story like Boise State’s. One reason: it’s gone on for such a long, long time.
