Fans guide: How to watch Boise State’s football game against Colorado State
Boise State returns from its bye week to face a team it has never lost to in 10 meetings.
Colorado State is the only team currently in the Mountain West that has yet to beat the Broncos. The Rams host BSU at 5 p.m. Saturday at Canvas Stadium in Fort Collins, Colorado.
“We’ve mentioned it to the players. We haven’t beaten Boise,” Colorado State coach Steve Addazio said during his Monday press conference. “That’s the high-water mark in the conference. To their credit, they’ve done it year in and year out. They’ve established that, that tradition, that watermark. So if you want to build your program, you want to try to get those wins against those premier teams. That’s a premier team.
“We haven’t done it. Of course, the players need to know we haven’t done it. It would be something that’s a great accomplishment, but respect how hard that’s going to be, because there’s a reason that hasn’t happened.”
Boise State has won 12 consecutive conference road games since a 28-17 loss to Fresno State on Nov. 25, 2017. The Broncos are also 13-1 in games following a bye since they joined the Mountain West in 2011.
