What a coincidence that Andy Staples wrote this at The Athletic last week:
Boise State football: Winners make plays
The game was on the line Friday night, as Air Force was leading 13-10 near the end of the third quarter. Playmaking had already been a boon for Boise State, but this is where it really kicked in.
Air Force’s potential sequel to Steelhammer
At his weekly press conference Monday, Boise State coach Bryan Harsin zeroed right in on Air Force’s traditional excellence at one position in particular.
How does Air Force see Bachmeier?
Through the first three games of the season, Boise State’s Hank Bachmeier has proven to be mentally tough. Sometimes, ill-advisedly so.
How will the Broncos’ special teams factor in?
Boise State’s struggles on special teams in 2018 have been well-chronicled. But perhaps the Broncos’ cleanest special teams performance of last season came in the 48-38 win at Air Force.
Air Force does its thing
Air Force’s first win over Colorado in 51 years followed the Falcons’ offensive blueprint, one Boise State is painfully familiar with.
Weaver weaves his way to the top
Curtis Weaver was at his level-best Saturday night, which puts him at another level in Boise State lore after the 45-10 win over Portland State.
Are the Broncos’ tight ends back?
It’s been hard to miss Boise State’s John Bates over the first two games. The junior tight end has eight catches for 114 yards after only 10 receptions all of last year.
Boise State football attendance: The sky is not falling
A lot has been made of Boise State’s season ticket count dropping to 16,588, its lowest point in 16 years. But it’s a sign of the times.
Who’s your rival? For the Broncos, it’s BYU…
Boise State is not BYU’s primary football rival (hello, Utah), but the Cougars fill the bill for the Broncos these days. How could they not?
