Maddux Madsen wasn’t a five-star recruit coming out of high school. He wasn’t one of the top quarterback recruits in the country. He didn’t transfer from USC. At 5-foot-10, 201 pounds he doesn’t look like the prototypical quarterback. He doesn’t care. As each day passes Madsen seemingly is only getting closer to winning Boise State’s…

Boise State running back coach James Montgomery couldn’t help but smile and laugh when asked about the thought of Ashton Jeanty returning a key punt against No. 3 Oregon in week two at Autzen Stadium.

The standard slipped under coach Andy Avalos. There’s no way to deny it. Three straight home losses on The Blue in 2021. A horrible road loss at UTEP in 2022. A 4-5 start last season. Boise State lost more than three games in a season just four times in 22 seasons from 1999 to 2020.…

STATESBORO, GA. – Memo to opposing fans when facing Ashton Jeanty the rest of the season: it might not be the best idea to talk trash to him before the game. Jeanty, fueled by some pregame talk from the Georgia Southern student section, went out and had literally the best game by a running back…

Erik Chinander was pleased to see Boise State win the only real stat that mattered last Saturday in Statesboro: the final score. That was one of the few things he was happy with.

EUGEGE, Ore. – Boise State coach Spencer Danielson is not even trying to downplay the difficulty of going to Autzen Stadium Saturday to face No. 7 Oregon. “They are going to be one of the most talented teams we’ve faced here in a while,” Danielson said. “It’s a tall task.” But it’s one the Broncos…

EUGENE, Ore. – A 37-34 loss at No. 7 Oregon late Saturday night did nothing to discourage the Boise State football team or derail their goals for the rest of the season. It did the opposite. Acknowledging there’s no such thing as a moral victory, the Broncos left Autzen Stadium feeling even more encouraged about…
