Boise State will be at home on its blue turf Saturday night when it hosts the Utah State Aggies. Boise State is the 21st best team in the country after a 3-1 start and its only loss on the road against Oregon. Last week's action pitted the Boise State Broncos against Washington State. The Broncos won this game on home turf 45-24 after leading by just 6.5. Boise State's quarterback is sophomore Maddux Madsen. Madsen has put up a solid 800 yards in four games this year, but the real leader on this team's offense is junior running back Ashton Jeanty. In four games this season, Jeanty has run the ball 82 times for 845 yards and 13 touchdowns. That's an average of over 10 yards per carry. Jeanty also currently leads the FBS with 5 touchdowns of 50 or more yards. This start was historic for the Boise State running back. His 13 touchdowns are the second-most by an FBS player in the first 4 games in the last 20 years. Jeanty will be Utah State's primary defensive player.

Last week's 45-29 loss to Temple felt like a new low for a Utah State football program that has finished with a bowl record each of the past three seasons. Utah State held a 6.5 point lead on the road against a bad Temple team and allowed the Owls to run up the score on their defense. I don't think anything will change this week against Boise State. No matter whether the Aggies have a good season or a bad season, what remains the same is that Boise State knocks them out. Over the past five seasons, the matchups between these two teams have been 45-10, 42-23, 27-3, 42-13 and 56-21, all in favor of Boise State. The last time the Aggies got within 10 points of Boise State was in 2018, when they were led by quarterback Jordan Love. Of all these matchups, this may be Boise State's best team and Utah State's worst team. The Jeanty party continues this Saturday evening.
