Regardless of the conference and the distance between these two schools, this rivalry has been a fan favorite for years. After 23 total meetings between the two, the record stands at 16-5 with Boise in a large lead over the Bulldogs.
The Broncos will face some of their toughest opponents of the season in the next back-to-back weekend they host on The Blue.
On Oct. 29, the Colorado State Rams visit Albertsons Stadium. Wear orange and also join the Broncos in supporting the local military during this home game. Boise State has a considerable amount of power over the Rams, with a history record of 11-0.
Colorado State made a power play during this offseason after stealing Nevada’s head coach, Jay Norvell, in an attempt to reboot the program. Hoping to make this season more successful than its last, the Rams have their eyes on the prize and will try to give the Broncos a challenge.
After Colorado State, the Brigham Young University (BYU) Cougars will travel up from Provo, Utah, to face the Broncos on Nov. 5, in a highly anticipated match-up.
With BYU moving to the Big 12 Conference in 2023, one of the Intermountain West’s best annual games could take a pause. With an 8-4 record, the Broncos hold a demanding advantage over the Cougars. Boise State will be wearing black for this noteworthy game.
Lastly, the Broncos are set to round out their regular season home games by hosting the Utah State Aggies on Nov. 25. Fans will be sporting blue for this final game of the season, as well as celebrating the senior class.
This could be a crucial final game to decide the final conference standings since Utah State is in the Mountain West.
