SCOTT SLANT: No Hank, no Chase, but there’s a Jaylon
Presented by BBSI. Monday, November 18, 2019. Jaylon Henderson was very good in Boise State’s spring game last April. The question going into the matchup against New Mexico Saturday night: could Henderson do it while getting extended time in a real game against a Mountain West defense that was trying to mess with him? Well,…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: The last 2 Coach Pete recruits
Presented by GREENWOOD’S SKI HAUS. Friday, November 15, 2019. Almost six years after Chris Petersen left Boise State for Washington, there are two of his recruits still active for the Broncos, and they’ll get as loud a welcome as anyone on Senior Night before the New Mexico game Saturday.

SCOTT SLANT: ‘Perception-itis’ as it pertains to the Lobos
Presented by ADVANCED VISION THERAPY CENTER. Thursday, November 14, 2019. The term Boise State coach Bryan Harsin coined last week when recapping San Jose State was “perception-itis.” Many didn’t want to give the Spartans credit for the massive strides they’ve made this year. That problem has popped up in the past with New Mexico. What’s…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Don’t give up on the run
Presented by BBSI BOISE. Wednesday, November 13, 2019. I started putting this together for Sunday Sports Extra expecting to find something not so pretty, comparing rushing from Boise State’s wide receivers to that of the running backs since the beginning of October.

SCOTT SLANT: Guys who aren’t ‘Twittiots’
Presented by ADVANCED VISION THERAPY CENTER. Tuesday, November 12, 2019. Boise State coach Bryan Harsin probably should have left well enough alone Monday. But since he didn’t, addressing the griping on Twitter and coining the now-viral term “Twittiots,” here we go. I think the best perspective comes from former Broncos, especially those from a 50-3…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Giant exhale on the Blue
Presented by LOUIE’S PIZZA & ITALIAN RESTAURANT. Monday, November 11, 2019. It could be considered a “fantastic finish” in the Albertsons Stadium history book—a missed field goal in overtime by Wyoming to send Boise State storming onto the field with a crucial 20-17 victory. But it was so unnecessary that it got that far. These…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: The 2019 attendance phenomenon
Presented by CLEARVIEW CLEANING. Friday, November 8, 2019. What is happening in the stands at Albertsons Stadium this season? Boise State is averaging 34,105 fans per game in a year when the home schedule was missing marquee opponents.

SCOTT SLANT: Awaiting the full Bronco arsenal
Presented by MAZ-TECH AUTOMOTIVE. Thursday, November 7, 2019. There’s only one ball to go around. Boise State wishes there were at least two, because it has a pair of wide receivers who generally make something happen any time they touch it. And with Wyoming coming to the blue turf Saturday night with a reputation for…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: The Group of 5’s group of five
Presented by CLEARVIEW CLEANING. Wednesday, November 6, 2019. From a Group of 5 perspective, the first College Football Playoff rankings of the season weren’t too surprising Tuesday night. The new official pecking order in the race for a New Year’s Six bowl berth goes five deep, with Cincinnati-Memphis-Boise State followed by Navy-SMU. What’s interesting is…… MORE
