Presented by EVAN’S BUILDING CENTER. Tuesday, November 26, 2019. There’s a tendency to think that Boise State is now all about the Mountain West championship game December 7 against Hawaii on the blue turf—and may be overlooking its Black Friday date at downtrodden Colorado State. Broncos coach Bryan Harsin would tell you there’s nothing further…… MORE

SCOTT SLANT: The complete game materializes
Presented by POP’S POPCORN. Monday, November 25, 2019. You figured something was up the first play of the game, when George Holani scampered 35 yards into Utah State territory. On a night that it needed to put everything together, Boise State did, looking like the team everybody knew it could be in its 56-21 rout…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Feel badly for Aggies fans?
Presented by ADVANCED VISION THERAPY CENTER. Friday, November 22, 2019. This may not go the direction you think. Boise State fans should feel sorry for their Utah State counterparts Saturday night. Why? Because Bronco Nation can relate. It’s USU’s turn to kick it off not at 8:15 p.m. (8:26, wink-wink), but at 8:30 p.m. On…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Broncos survive ice beyond the arc
Presented by POP’S POPCORN. Thursday, November 21, 2019. Three-pointers used to come a lot more regularly for Boise State. The drought struck for a third straight game Wednesday night, but somehow the Broncos came out the other side with a 72-68 overtime win over BYU in ExtraMile Arena. Boise State was just 3-for-19 from deep,…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Refreshed coach on the other sideline
Presented by BBSI. Wednesday, November 20, 2019. About a year ago, Utah State was No. 21 in the CFP rankings and Boise State No. 23. The Broncos, of course, beat USU 33-24 to move on to the Mountain West championship game. The Aggies would go on to a 52-13 rout of North Texas in the…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Will healthy Bronco starters raise their hands?
Presented by ADVANCED VISION THERAPY CENTER. Tuesday, November 19, 2019. What team will Boise State put on the field against Utah State this Saturday night? We know nothing more than we did after the New Mexico game. Absolutely nothing. That’s the unfortunate reality of college football in 2019. Broncos coach Bryan Harsin provided no injury…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: No Hank, no Chase, but there’s a Jaylon
Presented by BBSI. Monday, November 18, 2019. Jaylon Henderson was very good in Boise State’s spring game last April. The question going into the matchup against New Mexico Saturday night: could Henderson do it while getting extended time in a real game against a Mountain West defense that was trying to mess with him? Well,…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: The last 2 Coach Pete recruits
Presented by GREENWOOD’S SKI HAUS. Friday, November 15, 2019. Almost six years after Chris Petersen left Boise State for Washington, there are two of his recruits still active for the Broncos, and they’ll get as loud a welcome as anyone on Senior Night before the New Mexico game Saturday. David Moa committed November 21, 2013.…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: ‘Perception-itis’ as it pertains to the Lobos
Presented by ADVANCED VISION THERAPY CENTER. Thursday, November 14, 2019. The term Boise State coach Bryan Harsin coined last week when recapping San Jose State was “perception-itis.” Many didn’t want to give the Spartans credit for the massive strides they’ve made this year. That problem has popped up in the past with New Mexico. What’s…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Don’t give up on the run
Presented by BBSI BOISE. Wednesday, November 13, 2019. I started putting this together for Sunday Sports Extra expecting to find something not so pretty, comparing rushing from Boise State’s wide receivers to that of the running backs since the beginning of October. Over the last five games, the wideouts have been strong, averaging 10.6 yards…… MORE
