Why Utah State Will Win

Will Boise State care?

Of course it would like to win on Senior Day, and of course it wants to keep the momentum going with six straight Mountain West wins and two victories in a row after the loss to BYU, but it has the Mountain West title game against Fresno State next week.

This isn’t even the team’s last home game – the championship is being played in Albertsons.

Utah State completely turned its season around after starting 1-5. It’s on a nice 5-1 run, it’s bowl eligible, and it’s all coming from the offense with a good balance and a defense that’s forcing enough takeaways to get by. However …

Why Boise State Will Win

It also helped Utah State that it played New Mexico, Hawaii, and Colorado State in this run. Give it credit for taking down San Jose State and Air Force, but both of those were at home.

Again, the defense hasn’t been bad, but it’s been rocky against the run allowing almost five yards per carry. Now it gets a rolling Boise State running game that’s ripping though just about everything.

The Broncos are 6-0 when running for 130 yards or more. Utah State gives up close to 200 yards per game.

What’s Going To Happen

You’ll have to forgive Boise State if it wants to get this over with and move on as quickly as possible. Being on Friday morning should make this even weirder.

Utah State will come out fired up to make a statement on a national stage – getting to seven wins would be a big deal considering how many bowl eligible Mountain West teams there are – but the Boise State defense will clamp down hard in the second half.

Call it a tone-setting mindset for what’s coming next.

Boise State vs Utah State Game Preview


Why Boise State Will Win

There are worse losses than a road shootout against UCF and a late home defeat to a Big 12 program as good as Oklahoma State.

This is better than a 1-2 team – even if you are what your record says it is.

The Boise State passing game still works, the defense hasn’t been totally horrible considering it had to deal with the UCF offensive powerhouse, and the takeaways have been coming – at least they did in the blowout win over UTEP.

This is where the program takes a deep breath, focuses on the Mountain West campaign, and clamps down. It’s been a rough start under new head man Andy Avalos, but the pieces are all there to go on a run. However …

Week 4 College Football Expert Picks

Why Utah State Will Win

The Aggies have been fantastic so far under new head man Blake Andersen.

His offense and some of his guys – like QB Logan Bonner – came in from Arkansas State and rolled at will in three excellent wins. The O was almost perfectly balanced at Washington State, beating North Dakota by 24 was strong – really, it was – and to open up the the conference season with 628 yards in a 49-45 win at Air Force was massive.

The defense couldn’t do a thing to stop the North Dakota passing game or the Air Force ground attack, but the O made up for it. Can Boise State prove it can actually win a shootout when the defense isn’t really working?

It’s going to have to find out.

What’s Going To Happen

Get ready for fireworks.

Both teams will trade big shot for big shot, and this is when the Boise State running game finally starts to make a few things happen.

Neither team does much when it comes to the time of possession battle. Neither one will go on long, grinding marches, but Utah State will do just a little bit more on third downs in the fourth quarter.

Again, though, this is when Boise State starts to play the part. It won’t be easy, and it’ll have to hang on for dear life, but it’ll be a key win to get this season going.

Why Utah State Will Win

Can the Utah State defensive front get into the backfield from the start? The Boise State offense line isn’t going to be bad, but it has to undergo an overhaul after losing four starters and not having any tune-up time. The Bronco defensive front has to make several changes, too.

Utah State’s offensive line should be among the best in the Mountain West. It’s loaded with veterans, the running game will be good, and Utah transfer Jason Shelley is a strong replacement for Jordan Love at quarterback.

Head coach Gary Andersen has a solid team in place, but …

CFN Experts Picks: College

Why Boise State Will Win

The Utah State defensive front wasn’t quite good enough last year, it struggled against the run, and now it loses a whole lot of key parts.

Yeah, the Boise State offensive line is all but starting over, but RB George Halani should be in for a big game, and QB Hank Bachmeier has a good enough receiving corps to push the Aggie secondary.

The Utah State pass defense wasn’t good enough last year – and should be a bit of a concern early on – to overcome the new parts up front.

CFN Experts Picks: NFL

What’s Going To Happen

Boise State will take over in the second half.

Utah State will be good. It won’t make a whole slew of mistakes, and the offense will keep up the pace for a while, but the Boise State defensive front will take over as the game goes on.

What’s Going To Happen

If Boise State wins, it takes the Mountain West’s West title. If Utah State wins, then things get interesting with a three-way tie – potentially throw Air Force in the mix – going into the final week of the season.

Utah State has won two straight go get back into the hunt after getting rolled by Air Force a few weeks ago. Its offense is still inconsistent, and the defense isn’t doing quite what it’s supposed to, but the passing attack is on a run of three straight 300-yard games.

Boise State has won three in a row with a stifling defense that’s been good enough against the better passing games.

The offense will keep the chains moving on third downs, Utah State won’t ever have the ball – it’s last in the nation in time of possession – and the Broncos will be off to another Mountain West title game while staying in the mix for the Group of Five’s New Year’s Six bowl slot.
