What to Know
The Boise State Broncos’ homestand continues as they prepare to take on the Oklahoma State Cowboys at 9 p.m. ET Sept. 18 at Albertsons Stadium. Boise State is the favorite in this one, with an expected 3.5-point margin of victory.
You’re bound to get a positive result if you outscore your opponent every quarter, and that’s exactly how it played out for the Broncos last Friday. They were fully in charge, breezing past the UTEP Miners 54-13 at home. The matchup was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 41-13. Boise State QB Hank Bachmeier was slinging it as he passed for two TDs and 340 yards on 24 attempts.
Special teams collected 18 points for Boise State. K Jonah Dalmas delivered a perfect 4-for-4 game. Stefan Cobbs’ 81-yard punt return for touchdown should surely be counted as one of the game’s standout moments.
Meanwhile, it was all tied up 7-7 at the half for Oklahoma State and the Tulsa Golden Hurricane last week, but Oklahoma State stepped up in the second half for a 28-23 win. No one had a standout game offensively for Oklahoma State, but they got scores from RB Jaylen Warren, WR Bryson Green, and WR Jaden Bray.
Their wins bumped the Broncos to 1-1 and the Cowboys to 2-0. Boise State caused 6 turnovers against UTEP, so Oklahoma State will need to take especially good care of the ball.
