What to Know
The Boise State Broncos and the Fresno State Bulldogs are even-steven against one another since November of 2017 (2-2), but not for long. Boise State and the Bulldogs will face off in a Mountain West battle at 7 p.m. ET last week at Bulldog Stadium. These two teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.
The Broncos beat the Colorado State Rams 28-19 two weeks ago. The win came about thanks to a strong surge after the first quarter to overcome a 13 to nothing deficit. Boise State QB Hank Bachmeier was slinging it as he passed for three TDs and 253 yards on 32 attempts. Near the top of the highlight reel was Bachmeier’s 51-yard TD bomb to TE Tyneil Hopper in the fourth quarter.
Meanwhile, the Bulldogs were able to grind out a solid victory over the San Diego State Aztecs two weeks ago, winning 30-20. Fresno State’s RB Jordan Mims was on fire, rushing for two TDs and 186 yards on 29 carries. Mims’ longest run was for 59 yards in the second quarter.
Special teams collected 12 points for Fresno State. K Cesar Silva delivered a perfect 3-for-3 game.
Boise State is expected to lose this next one by 4. Those who got lucky with them against the spread two weeks ago might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the team has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.
The wins brought the Broncos up to 4-4 and the Bulldogs to 7-2. Boise State is 0-3 after wins this season, Fresno State 4-2.
