BRONCOS FALL IN SEASON OPENER

GAME RECAP

The Ducks got their revenge against the Broncos with a 4th Quarter comeback handing the Broncos their first loss of the season and a loss in their Pac-12 debut. Tied (7-7) at the end of the 1st Quarter, the Broncos took a 13-7 lead into the half as Iowa State transfer Abu Sama III scores his first touchdown as a Bronco but a missed PAT left it a 6 point game at half time.

Oregon would take the lead in the 3rd Quarter as Dante Moore throws his 2nd TD to make it (14-13) but Boise State answers back with a early 4th Quarter FG by Colton Boomer to make it (16-14). A Moore INT would give Boise State the ball back in solid field position but the Ducks Defense steps up forcing yet another Boomer FG to make it (19-14).

With Moore somewhat struggling (2 INT's), Oregon turns to its ground game as RS FR Jordan Davison (85 ovr) scores on a 23 yd run to make it (21-19). with 4 minutes to play in the game. The Broncos looked to rally driving 55 yds down field on 6 plays but the Ducks once again step up and stop the Broncos on a crucial 3rd and 2 play forcing Coach Danielson to bring out the kicking game for yet a 3rd FG as Boomer connects to make it (22-21) with 2:28 to play in the game.

Oregon would waste little time taking the lead back though as RS FR Dierre Hill (84 ovr) breaks lose on a 47 yd run to make it (26-22) with 1:52 to play. The Ducks would leave the offense out on the field and convert the 2pt play to make it a 7 point lead as Boise State gets the ball back with under 2 minutes to play.

Madsen would do his best to lead the Broncos down field but facing a 4th and 4, Madsen's intended pass to TE Matt Wagner is knocked down as Oregon takes over on downs and runs out the clock.

BRONCOS DOMINATE AGGIES IN WEEK 3 VICTORY!!

GAME RECAP

Boise State coming off a disappointing Week 1 loss to Oregon had a "Bye" in Week 2 giving them a extra week to prepare for their home opener against Utah State in Week 3 and it showed.

The Broncos dominated the game on both sides of the ball scoring a new school record 86 points in their victory.. Boise State opened the game with a 12 yd run by QB Maddux "Mad Dog" Madsen and added to the lead with Sire Gaines first of 3 TD's on the day (3 yd run) before adding a 27 yd FG to take a early (17-0) lead in the 1st Quarter.

Boomer would extend the lead early in the 2nd Quarter with a 52 yd FG to make it (20-0) then it was Madsen going to the air for a 15 yd score to TE Matt Wagner to make it (27-0) before Boomer connects on his 3rd FG of the game from 24 yds out to make it (30-0) still with 5 minutes to play in the half.

A Madsen INT would kill another Bronco drive and finally help get the Aggies on the scoreboard as QB Elijah Brown finds Copper Perry on a 3 yd score to make it (30-7) at the half.

Gaines would open up the 2nd half scoring with TD #2 and then extend the lead once again with a 22 yd TD run again to make it (44-7) as the Broncos 1st Team Offense takes a rest.

Alabama transfer Austin Mack would come in for his first action as a Bronco and complete a 56 yd bomb to Chase Penry to make it (51-7) with 4:54 to play in the 3rd.

Utah State would kick a 46 yd FG with 1:29 to play to make it (51-10) but Iowa State transfer Abu Sama III scores the first of his 3 TD's on the day with a nice 25 yd run to make it (58-10) as we head to the 4th.

It was a rough day for former Boise State QB CJ Tiller. Tiller playing in relief of starting QB E. Brown (12/29 98 yds 1 TD 1 INT) he throws (2) "Pick 6" INT's in the 4th Quarter as Alabama transfer Zabien Brown returns the first 20 yds to make it (65-10) and then it was Minnesota transfer FS Koi Perich taking it back 40 yds for another to make it (72-10) with 4:53 to play in the game.

Utah State would manage a FG with 3:06 to play as Tanner Rinker hits from 31 yds out.

Tiller would finish the game 7/23 for 92 yds with the 2 INT.

With the huge lead Boise State sticks to the ground game as Ohio State transfer Tavian St Clair takes over at QB...St Clair would carry the ball 7 times for 35 yds but it was Sama III that was the hero of the 4th Quarter as he scores on a 52 yd TD run and a 1 yd run as both he and Gaines end the day with the "Hat Trick 3 TD Day".

BOISE STATE DOMINATES THE BRONCO BASH

GAME RECAP

Boise State improved to (2-1) on the season as they win their Week 4 matchup with Western Michigan in a clash of the Broncos. Tied (3-3) at the end of the 1st Quarter, Boise went on to score 56 unanswered points as the ground game of Sire Gaines and Abu Sama III dominate to combine for 30 carries for 244 yds and 6 touchdowns.

It was a quite day for QB Maddux Madsen who complete just 17/30 (56%) for 252 yds including his lone TD (26 yd to Chris Marshall). Madsen would add 28 yds on the ground.

The hero of the day was Sire Gaines who looked like his previous mentor Ashton Jeanty as the Redshirt Sophomore galloped for 190 yds and 4 TD's on 21 carries.. After his 4th TD early in the 4th on his longest run of the day (49 yds), Gaines gave way to Sana III who would carry the ball 9 times for 54 yds scoring twice including a 29 yd run.

Boise State's Defense dominated WMU holding them to just 183 yds of Total Offense including just 23 yds on the ground. The final score of the day came fro the Defense as backup CB Demetrius Freeney picked up a fumble and ran it 43 yds for the touchdown.

FINAL SCORE BOISE STATE-59 WESTERN MICHIGAN-3

UP NEXT

Despite the blowout win, Boise State moves up just 2 spots in the Top-25 to #18 going into their Week 5 matchup with #5 USC.. The Trojans have kicked off their season with 3 straight wins including a Week 1 win over Fresno State (49-23), a Week 2 win over UC Davis (FCS West) 52-3 and a Week 4 win vs Miami OH (49-17) as they average over 50 points a game.

Can the Broncos Defense shutout the Trojan Offense? Can Boise State continue their own high power scoring attack and match USC score for score or will the Broncos fall for a 2nd time on the road dropping to (0-2) in their Pac-12 debut?

BRONCOS MAKE STATEMENT IN THE 4TH!!!

GAME RECAP

With the Country watching, Boise State made a statement in Week 4 as the Broncos scored 3 straight touchdowns in the 4th to defeat USC for their first Pac-12 win in school history.

For Boise State it was statement to prove to the country that the last 2 years were not a fluke and that the Broncos are capable of beating the nation's best on any given Saturday and to compete for a National Championship.

USC jumped out to a early (14-0) lead in the 1st Quarter behind a pair of touchdowns from SR Jayden Maiava (88 Ovr) and extended the lead early in the 2nd Quarter to (21-0) on a Maiava 5 yd Touchdown run, but Boise State rallied behind Maddux Madsen as the Senior throws a pair of 2nd Quarter touchdowns to Chase Penry and a Colton Boomer FG with under 10 seconds to play cuts the lead to (21-17) at the half.

USC would score a pair of touchdowns on the ground in the 3rd Quarter from SR RB Carson Hansen (89 ovr) to extend the lead back to (35-17) but again Boise would rally as Maddux Madsen shows he can make plays with his feet with a 5 yd TD run and then it was another Colton Boomer FG to end the 3rd Quarter at (35-27).

Sire Gaines would cut the lead to (35-34) early in the 4th as he scores on a 22 yd run as he goes over 100 yds for this 4th straight game to start the season.. The Bronco Defense then came up with a huge play as they hold the Trojans to a FG make it (38-34) with 5 minutes to play in the game.

With Gaines already over 20 carries and 135 yds on the day, Boise State inserted Iowa State transfer Abu Sama III on the next series, and Sama delivers with yet another big run taking it 31 yds to the house as Boise State takes the lead (41-38).

The Additions of Alabama transfers Bray Hubbard (7 tackles) and Zabien Brown and Minnesota transfer Koi Perich (10 tackles) have made a huge impact on the Boise State secondary allow other players to rise up and make plays and that is just what SR CB Jaden Mickey did.. Mickey who finished with 3 INT on the season last year comes up with a huge INT to set up yet another Bronco touchdown as Madsen finds RS SO Cameron Bates for a 17 yd score for a touchdown. Mickey then comes up with INT #2 as Maiava and the Trojans fall short in the comeback.

Maiava finished the game 27/44 (61%) 292 yds with the 3 TD's (2 passing 1 rushing) and the INT's.

BOISE STATE-48 USC-38

KEY BRONCOS
QB M. Madsen-26/35 (74%) 271 yds 3 TD, 12 yds rushing 1 TD

*The Broncos will be without JR TE Matt Wagner who was injured in the game.. Wagner expected to miss the rest of the regular season (7 weeks) with a Dislocated Hip.. SR Austin Terry will take over #1 TE Duties but we are being told FB Kaiden Anderson could move from FB back to TE moving forward.. Well losing Wagner is a huge blow to the Offense, the Broncos will get SO WR Ja'Bree Bickham back next week which should help boost the passing game.

For Maddux "Mad Dog" Madsen the 1st half was almost perfect as the Senior completed 11/14 pass's for 186 yds with 4 Touchdowns. With the opposing Defense focusing on Chris Marshall with multiple double team coverages, Senior Chase Penry had a breakout game catching 6 ball for 80 yds and 3 of the 4 scores including a 22 yd score on the final drive of the half.

Arizona opened the 2nd half with the ball and had a nice 11 play drive that ended with a touchdown run by SR Kedrick Reescano (87 Ovr) to make it (28-17) but the Broncos respond as Sire Gaines breaks his longest run of the day going 28 yds or the score to extend the lead to (35-17). The run put Gaines over 100 yds for his 5th straight game as Gaines has take a firm hold on the #1 RB job this season .

Arizona opened up the 2nd half another 42 yd FG to cut the lead to (35-20).. early in the 4th.. Looking to run some time off the clock, Gaines added 28 yds more yards to his total giving him 130 yds on the day but Arizona came up with a big stop on a 3rd and 2 forcing the Broncos to punt with just over 4 minutes to play.

RS FSR QB Sawyer Anderson (78 Ovr) looked to try and lead the Wildcats in a 4th Quarter comeback but Anderson's intended pass is picked off by FS Koi Perich who takes it back 33 yds to the house for his 2nd "Pick 6" INT of the season as Boise State extends their lead to (42-20).

Anderson would find some redemption though as the Redshirt Freshman hit SR WR Chris Hunter (78 Ovr) on a 28 yd TD with 1:43 to play but after failing to covert the 2pt play they still trailed by 2 scores. Left with no choice but attempt the onside kick, the Broncos hands team came out and recovered running off the final seconds as they cruise to win #4.

BRONCOS MAKE IT 5 IN A ROW!!!

GAME RECAP

Boise State jumped out to a early (10-0) lead in the 1st Quarter behind a strong display of running by Sire Gaines including a 11 yd TD run., Boise State would extend the lead early in the 2nd Quarter with a Colton Boomer FG to make it (13-0) but then the Broncos got a glimpse of what life without Gaines and Maddux Madsen could look like as both stars were forced from the game.

Still trailing (13-0) at the half, BYU would start the 2nd half with the ball and would find the endzone as RS FR Dorian Patterson (74 ovr) finally finds one of his own WR's after throwing (4) 1st half INT's. this time connecting with JR Cody Hagen (82 ovr) on a 29 yd score to make it (13-7). Then it was the Cougar Defense coming up with a INT of their own as they pick off backup QB Tavien St Clair to set up 34 yd TD run by JR Sione Moa (82 Ovr) as BYU takes the lead (14-13).

St Clair (the Ohio State transfer) would make some amends for his earlier turnover midway through the 4th though as the RS Freshman keeps the ball himself and rumbles 12 yds for the touchdown as Boise State retakes the lead (20-14).

Patterson's 5th INT of the game would end yet another BYU drive as JR LB Clay Martineau picks off the Cougar QB for a 2nd time in the game to set up a Colton Boomer 32 yd FG as Boise State clinches the victory despite missing 2 key members of the Offfense.

BRONCOS 4TH QUARTER RALLY MAKES IT 7 STRAIGHT!!!

GAME RECAP

Boise State led at the end of the 1st Quarter (14-7) and at the end of the half (31-17) as Sire Gaines scores a hat trick adding 3 touchdowns to his total giving him 14 on the season just 1 shy of his 15 he had all of last season. Gaines wasn't the only one running the ball well today though as QB Maddux Madsen ran for a season high 42 yds..

Madsen however had a roller coaster day throwing the ball as he threw 56 times for a season high 467 yds, Madsen was picked off 3 times including 2 to RS SO LB Gage Jones who is a Eagle Idaho native. The Cougars would turn the 3 turnover into 17 points as they cut the lead to (31-27) going into the 4th Quarter.

Madsen however would redeem himself in the 4th first hitting Cameron Bates on a 9 yd score and then with under 30 seconds to play Madsen found 6'3 True Freshman Keilan Bettis for his first career touchdown.

Bettis a former 4* recruit from Boise Idaho is currently redshirting this season but with the ability to play 4 games and still keep his redshirt, Coach Miller felt it was important to get him some PT as he could very well be a starter next season. Bettis delivered with 5 receptions for 78 yds including the score.

HUSKIES LOOKING TO REPEAT HISTORY!!

In 2014 the University of Washington hired Chris Peterson away from Boise State where he had posted a 92-12 record that included 2 perfect seasons that ended with Fiesta Bowl victories.

Peterson went on to coach at Washington for 5 seasons retiring with a record of 55-26 Overall including a Bowl over his former team in the Las Vegas Bowl.

Washington then hired DC Jimmy Lake who would last just 13 games (7-6) before replacing him with a intern coach Bob Gregory (3 games) before hiring former Fresno State Head Coach Kalen DeBoer who would last 28 games (25-3).

DeBoer's success led him to Alabama and the Huskies back to the hiring pool where they landed on former Arizona HC Jed Fisch.. Fisch's tenure in Seattle was short lived though after 2 sub .500 season Fisch is gone (now at Georgia State) and Washington brought in veteran HC Bret Bielema. At 55 years old Bielema who started his career at Iowa has also coached at Wisconsin, Arkansas and in the NFL for New England and New York before returning to the college ranks at Illinois. However the Fighting Illini made a change after 5 seasons and Bielema was on the move yet again this time landing in Seattle.

However a 2-6 record in Year 1 has the Huskies already making plans at the end of the season and right now their #1 target is Boise State HC Spencer Danielson.

Danielson is 35-6 Overall for the Broncos since taking over in 2024 and has led the Broncos to 2 straight College Football appearances. Now the question is can Washington throw enough money at Danielson to make him believe a move to Seattle would be give him a better shot at the National Championship and if so what happens in Boise with Coach Matt Miller who we are being told is the Huskies #2 target if they can't manage to land his Coach D.

BRONCOS MAKE IT 8 STRAIGHT!!!

GAME RECAP

Boise State won it's 8 straight game improving to to 6-1 in Pac-12 play with a Week 10 win over (4-5) Oregon State.

BRONCOS KEEP PLAYOFF HOPES ALIVE!!

For a 2nd time this season, SO WR Jabree Bickham leaves the game with a injury.. Bickham will miss the next 4 weeks with a Broken Collarbone. After catching 67 receptions for 763 yds and 13 TD's last season, Bickham looks like he will have just 9 rec for 100 yds and 0 TD's this season.

JR TE Matt Wagner is getting closer to returning to the field. Wagner would return for the Broncos season finale against Washington but at worse case he will be back for the Broncos Playoff run/Bowl game.

RECRUITING NEWS

Despite the Broncos success on the field, Boise State continues to struggle landing their top targeted recruits.. With rumors swirling of several schools making a run at Coach Spencer Danielson you can't really blame them.

3 of the Broncos Top targets all signed elsewhere this week.

5* FS Rahemm Spain (#21 Overall/#2 FS) is headed to Nebraska.. Spain will be joined by 4* WR Sam Skura (#144 Overall/#19 WR).. Skura was Idaho's Gatorade Player of the Year las year.. Listed at 6'4 from Rigby Idaho, Skura also had scholarship offers from BYU and Minnesota.

The PAC-10 will be a fun challenge and it's only the right thing to add back the older teams. Your QB room is pretty loaded, will be interesting to see how many leave
