BOISE, Idaho — The thrill of the offseason has reached its peak. Boise State football takes center stage in the City of Trees and beyond Saturday as it opens the season at Georgia Southern.
Celebrate the highly-anticipated season's arrival with KTVB Sports Director Jay Tust on the official TV station for Bronco Nation! A pair of pre-game shows will paint a clear picture of Boise State's first-ever showdown with the Eagles in Statesboro.
The first Bronco Roundup Game Day Show starts at 9 a.m. MT Saturday on KTVB Channel 7, KTVB.COM, KTVB+ on Roku, Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV, and the KTVB mobile app.
One hour before the season opener, Tust returns for a second exclusive pre-game show inside Allen E. Paulson Stadium on KTVB.COM, KTVB's YouTube channel, KTVB+ and the KTVB mobile app. Get an up-close look at Boise State players on the field starting at 1 p.m. MT Saturday.
Both editions of Bronco Roundup will break down matchup storylines, players and trends to watch, Boise State's path to victory and comments from coaches and captains leading up to kickoff. Saturday's show on KTVB's digital platforms includes last-minute injury updates and sideline interviews.
Boise State sits three spots out of the preseason Associated Press Top 25 and is the highest ranked Group of Five team in the ESPN power index. The Broncos were picked to win a conference or division title for the 17th-straight season in July, which includes all 14 years in the Mountain West.
Saturday's contest marks the start of Spencer Danielson's first full season as head coach and Boise State's first trip to Georgia since 2014. Head coach Clay Helton and the Eagles arrive after back-to-back six-win seasons and bowl appearances.
ESPN's Matchup Predictor gives Boise State a 64.9% chance to start the season undefeated ahead of a trip to Autzen Stadium to face No. 3 Oregon. The Broncos opened as 13-point favorites on ESPN Bet, with an over/under of 56.5 on the platform.
The non-conference game is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. MT on ESPNU. Check out KTVB's Game Day Guide for an in-depth preview of Saturday's matchup, TV information, individual and team statistics and more.
