Presented by BACON. Thursday, September 23, 2021. The first sign of Boise State’s “dependable depth” on the defensive line going out the window was Sunday, when B.J.

SCOTT SLANT: How did the Aggies get here?
Presented by BBSI BOISE. Wednesday, September 22, 2021. Utah State’s outlook going into its game at Boise State Saturday is a lot different than it was a year ago, and not just because it’s at home in Maverik Stadium at 10:00 in the morning.… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Responding at the crossroads
Presented by BACON. Tuesday, September 21, 2021. It’s just the first game of the Mountain West schedule, so you hesitate to call Boise State’s game at Utah State “must-win.” But what if the Broncos lose in Logan and fall to 1-3 for the first time in 24 years?… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Was it a ‘bad omen’ game?
Presented by BBSI BOISE. Monday, September 20, 2021. Boise State’s 21-20 loss to Oklahoma State Saturday night was, after all, to a Big 12 team, and it was by only one point. The Broncos have dug themselves out of holes like this before. But Boise State’s problems in the trenches were magnified in this game.… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: The line, and the lines
Presented by BACON. Friday, September 17, 2021. Start with the line. The latest odds from USA Today show Boise State by four points over Oklahoma State Saturday night on the blue turf. So the Broncos are favored over a team that beat them by 23 points three years ago in Stillwater?… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: DA goes fishin’
Presented by BACON. Thursday, September 16, 2021. It’s not only Oklahoma State week, but Damon Amendolara week, as the CBS SportsRadio host broadcasts his morning DA Show from Boise this week.

Presented by FRANZ WITTE NURSERY. Wednesday, September 15, 2021. Running back Jaylen Warren was one of the only bright spots for Utah State in a 42-13 loss to Boise State in last year’s season opener, rushing for 89 yards and both of the Aggies’ touchdowns.… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Holani is off the snap count
Presented by BACON. Tuesday, September 14, 2021. All that talk about the running game. We took note of George Holani getting only five touches (plus one target through the air) in Boise State’s 54-13 win over UTEP. Turns out he was on a “snap count” (like Khalil Shakir was at UCF).… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Checkmark times three
Presented by FRANZ WITTE NURSERY. Monday, September 13, 2021. My column Friday had to do with fumble recoveries being next on the Boise State defense to-do list. How about three of those in the Broncos’ 54-13 win over UTEP later that night on the blue turf.… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Next on the to-do list
Presented by BACON. Friday, September 10, 2021. Boise State got off the schneid in the interception column last week with Tyric LeBeauf’s two picks, one them scoring a touchdown and the other setting up one at UCF. Now to the other side of the turnover ledger. The Broncos are way overdue for a fumble recovery…… MORE
