Presented by BACON. Thursday, November 16, 2017. We knew Dr. Bob Kustra’s retirement couldn’t be too far off. After all, he turns 75 next March. But it still came as a surprise yesterday when the Boise State president announced his retirement, effective June 30. Kustra will have been at the university 15 years when he…… MORE

It’s always somethin’ against Air Force
Presented by HOFFMAN AUTO BODY. Wednesday, November 15, 2017. We drift into Boise State-Air Force week. Hopefully not aimlessly. That’s what the series feels like in the Bryan Harsin era. The Falcons, of course have won three straight over the Broncos, sucking the air out of the program each time. Air Force is the first…… MORE
Horton plays through different kind of pain
Presented by BACON. Tuesday, November 14, 2017. Most of us didn’t understand what Boise State cornerback Tyler Horton was going through when we watched him being pestered in the first half Saturday night by Colorado State star Michael Gallup. It was revealed after the game that Horton had just learned of the passing of his…… MORE
“So you’re tellin’ me there’s a chance?”
Presented by HOFFMAN AUTO BODY. Monday, November 13, 2017. That famous Jim Carrey line from “Dumb and Dumber” seemed so appropriate just before halftime Saturday night when Boise State had narrowed Colorado State’s lead to 18 points on a dazzling 26-yard touchdown run by Alexander Mattison. To me, that was the key stage of the…… MORE
Broncos know how the fourth quarter counts
Presented by POOL DOCTOR & SPA. Friday, November 10, 2017. One of the running themes for Boise State this year is “finishing,” something that didn’t always happen in 2016. The 28-23 win over Colorado State on the blue turf was a case in point. The Broncos led 28-3 in the fourth quarter before the Rams…… MORE
Rams trying to shake the albatross
Presented by HOFFMAN AUTO BODY. Thursday, November 9, 2017. Colorado State has never beaten Boise State. The Rams have had November 11 circled on the calendar all year, and they figured that their game against the Broncos would be significant. Well, Saturday night’s event in Fort Collins is significant now as a CSU season-saver. The…… MORE
These guys can shift on the fly
(TOM SCOTT’S COLUMN WILL RETURN THURSDAY.) Presented by POOL DOCTOR & SPA. Monday, November 6, 2017. It was 41-14, the sequel. Boise State won by that score for the second straight week in dismantling a rebuilding Nevada squad on the blue turf Saturday night. The Broncos have shown a penchant for adjustment this season, perhaps…… MORE
Bronco-Wolf Pack indoctrination process
Presented by HOFFMAN AUTO BODY. Friday, November 3, 2017. “Nevada’s always been a big game,” said Boise State coach Bryan Harsin Monday. “It still is.” He just has to impress that upon the legions of Broncos who aren’t aware. “They don’t know it like we know it,” he added. Only six current Broncos have ever…… MORE
Is the second wideout wave sustainable?
Presented by CLEARVIEW CLEANING. Thursday, November 2, 2017. The Boise State passing game broke new ground (at least in 2017 terms) last Saturday at Utah State. It was evident on the Broncos’ first play from scrimmage, when Brett Rypien hit not Cedrick Wilson, but A.J. Richardson for a 32-yard gain. There was much more to…… MORE
Is it a rivalry? Lest we forget…
Presented by HOFFMAN AUTO BODY. Wednesday, November 1, 2017. The most unfortunate fallout from the Mountain West’s split into two divisions in 2013 was that Boise State’s rivalries with Nevada and Fresno State would go on hiatus every two years. The Broncos finally face the Wolf Pack again for Homecoming Saturday night on the blue…… MORE
