What is at stake?

After an impressive run through the non-conference slate, Mountain West preseason favorite Boise State opens conference play against the Aggies. The Broncos capped the non-conference slate by defeating Washington State 45-24 last Saturday, thanks to another outstanding performance from running back Ashton Jeanty. The Heisman candidate passed for 259 yards and four touchdowns in the win and leads the country in yards rushing despite playing in just four games. Utah State is coming off an open weekend after three straight losses to USC, Utah and Temple.

Key match

Right now, every game against the Broncos is about stopping Jeanty. The Broncos had just 184 yards passing in the win over Washington State, thanks to Jeanty and his teammates as they combined for 276 yards. Utah State has allowed nearly 200 yards per game against quality opponents so far.

Players to watch

Utah State: QB Spencer Petras threw for a career-high 293 yards and two touchdowns in the Aggies' loss to Temple two weeks ago. Petras also tied a career high with 26 completions in the game. He has helped Utah State get off to a fast start in the last two games, but in both cases the Aggies were unable to maintain a double-digit lead in the first half.

Boise State: The Broncos would like a little more consistency from QB Maddux Madsen. The sophomore is completing just 58% of his passes, but was under 50% in the loss to Oregon and just 12 of 21 in the win over Washington State. A slightly better passing game – with Jeanty – could really make the Broncos offense strong .
