The inability to perform at crucial times was frustrating enough in Boise State’s 24-17 loss to Air Force Saturday night. But after the game, a disturbing news item came out of coach Andy Avalos’ press conference.
About that Air Force passing game
Caleb Biggers has had a lot to think about this week as he settles in as Boise State’s starting boundary cornerback in place of Markel Reed for the rest of the season.
“You can only hope to contain it”
Air Force is going to get its rushing yards Saturday against Boise State. It’s only natural, considering the way the Falcons are running their triple option this year. They’re currently leading the nation in rushing at 341 yards per game.
No. 21 in the top spot now?
As the clock counts down to kickoff against Air Force Saturday night, the chances of Andrew Van Buren being Boise State’s starting running back against the Falcons increase.
Broncos football: Meet Alexander Teubner
Alexander Teubner picked a heckuva time to get his name on TV. The sophomore, a former walk-on, was all over ABC Saturday afternoon as Boise State upended No. 10 BYU in Provo.
That’s why they play the games
It was Boise State’s Andy Avalos being interviewed live on ABC by Tom Luginbill immediately following the game, not BYU’s Kilani Sitake. The Broncos’ season took a turn few expected with the 26-17 win in Provo Saturday.
Boise State-BYU: Baylor Romney, the sequel?
The latest word out of Provo regarding the BYU quarterback situation Saturday: if the Cougars are lucky, it’ll be Jalen Hall. If they’re not, it’ll be third-stringer Jacob Conover.
The price of realignment
Saturday in Provo, Boise State and BYU will play the 10th game in a 12-year home-and-home series dating back to 2012. It has developed into a nice rivalry to be sure.
What will the ‘standard’ be?
There was a lot of talk Monday about the “standard” at Boise State. Coach Andy Avalos wants to maintain the standard. So what is that?
Broncos football: Where to from here?
After the loss at Air Force in 2014 and the one at home to Virginia in 2017, I prematurely suggested that Boise State’s “golden era” had passed. In each case, the Broncos recovered, winning a Fiesta Bowl and Las Vegas Bowl in those two seasons.
