BOISE, Idaho — For the first time since November 2021, the Boise State University campus will be flooded with blue and orange Saturday in preparation of the Broncos' home opener against the University of Tennessee-Martin.
The matchup is set to kickoff at 2 p.m. MT Saturday in the City of Trees on Fox Sports 1. ESPN's Football Power Index gives Boise State a 97.4% chance to defeat the high-powered Skyhawks out of the Ohio Valley Conference.
Check out KTVB's Game Day Guide for a full breakdown on ways to watch the game, key storylines and fan information, including Albertsons Stadium entry and pre-game festivities.

UT Martin (1-1) enters Saturday's contest ranked No. 16 among all FCS programs, dropping two spots from No. 14 after back-and-forth 35-30 loss to No. 5 Missouri State on the road last week.
Boise State is 1-1 overall and 1-0 in Mountain West play after defeating New Mexico 31-14 Sept. 9 in Albuquerque. Saturday's game against UT-Martin is the second of four non-conference games on Boise State's schedule.
Boise State and UT Martin have faced off just once, when the Broncos rolled to a 63-14 win on The Blue Sept. 7, 2013. After a disappointing season-opening loss at Washington, quarterback Joe Southwick led the Broncos' bounce-back effort with five touchdown passes.
