BOISE, Idaho — Fresh off its bye week, Boise State football looks to reset and start its tough stretch of Mountain West games with a win Saturday afternoon against Wyoming. The Broncos tout a 16-1 all-time record against the Cowboys and have won the last six meetings.
Leaning into Halloween and the fall colors in the City of Trees, Boise State will don its all-orange uniform combination for the conference bout, matching the fan color scheme inside Albertsons Stadium. The Broncos-Cowboys battle is set to kick off at 3:30 p.m. Saturday on Fox Sports 2.
Whether you are dusting off the orange jacket, enjoying a cup of coffee, or already tailgating on campus, start your Saturday morning with the official TV station for Bronco Nation! KTVB will have two pre-game shows, one to kick off game day and another leading up to game time.
The first Bronco Roundup Game Day Show with Sports Director Jay Tust and Sports Reporter Brady Frederick will be live from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. Saturday on KTVB Channel 7, KTVB.COM, KTVB+ on Roku and Amazon Fire TV and the KTVB mobile app.
The second exclusive pre-game show airs from 2:30 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. Saturday on KTVB.COM, KTVB's YouTube channel, KTVB+ and the KTVB mobile app. Bronco Roundup gives fans an up-close look at players warming up, provides an in-depth preview, hits on matchup storylines, features interviews with leaders of Boise State Athletics and more.
Preseason All-Mountain West running back George Holani is back on the practice field after missing every game since the Broncos' season opener against Washington. Additionally, team captain and linebacker DJ Schramm returned to practice during the bye week and could be back after dealing with a shoulder injury.
Tust and Frederick will be live from the sidelines of The Blue during Saturday afternoon's show, providing updates on the status of Holani, Schramm and the entire depth chart. The online show also gives Bronco Nation its first look at players and coaches on the field, and showcase the sights and sounds inside Albertsons Stadium.
Boise State is favored by 4.5 and ESPN's Matchup Predictor gives the Broncos a 61.9% chance of beating the boys from Laramie to improve to .500 overall and 3-1 in Mountain West play. While the blue and orange has dominated the series, the last four meetings have been decided by 10 points or less.
Head coach Andy Avalos this week said Boise State will "continue to work with two quarterbacks," although Taylen Green will remain the starter as he has the past 18 games dating back to last season. The Broncos' stats rank higher than the Cowboys in nearly every major offensive category, but Wyoming lands in the top 15 in red zone efficiency.
Although Boise State ranks in the top half of the conference in sacks and averages more than five tackles-for-loss per game, defensive coordinator Spencer Danielson noted the need for more pressure and creative blitzes this week. Opponents are averaging 304.3 passing yards per game, which puts the Broncos at No. 126 in the FBS.
