Presented by MAZ-TECH AUTOMOTIVE. Tuesday, November 5, 2019. The player who coach Bryan Harsin seems to be the most excited about coming out of the win at San Jose State is Andrew Van Buren.

SCOTT SLANT: A Bronco fact not to forget
Presented by CLEARVIEW CLEANING. Monday, November 4, 2019. Before going into the idiosyncrasies of Boise State’s 52-42 comeback win at San Jose State, let’s look at the Broncos’ ever-underappreciated big picture. Saturday night they clinched another winning season, their 22nd straight—the longest streak in the FBS. Maybe you’re saying, “Hey, what if they go 7-7?”…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Something about sacks
Presented by ADVANCED VISION THERAPY CENTER. Friday, November 1, 2019. This week it’s been all about San Jose State’s Josh Love and his unexpected rise to top three status among Mountain West quarterbacks. Love led the nation in passing yards in October. He’s been able to sit back, survey the field, and sling. So part…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Spartan Stadium memories for Halloween
Presented by BACON. Thursday, October 31, 2019. Happy Halloween. Which brings up a place that has been a house of horrors (or close to it) for Boise State in autumns past. Three times the Broncos have taken undefeated teams to Spartan Stadium and San Jose State, and two of them were gut-wrenching adventures. The first…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Back to Bach?
Presented by BACON. Wednesday, October 30, 2019. If Hank Bachmeier is ready to go for Boise State at San Jose State Saturday, the hope is that he and the Broncos can get back to their winning ways. But they don’t necessarily want him to pick up exactly where he left off. When Bachmeier was injured…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Running game hope springs eternal
Presented by FRANZ WITTE NURSERY. Tuesday, October 29, 2019. Another Saturday, another opportunity for the Boise State rushing game to flourish against an opponent vulnerable to the run. Problem is, the Broncos haven’t been able to take advantage of similar situations the past three games. UNLV, Hawaii and BYU are all ranked 110th or lower…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: The ever-changing MW dynamic
Presented by BACON. Monday, October 28, 2019. After a weekend of Mountain West weirdness, Boise State’s now the only unbeaten team in conference play, but good luck figuring anything else out. Let’s start in the West Division, because that’s where San Jose State resides, and the Broncos face the surprising Spartans this week. SJSU went…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: The mid-term team MVP
Presented by BACON. Friday, October 25, 2019. Let’s take a mid-term exam. Who is Boise State’s midseason Most Valuable Player for 2019? Well, it’s not rocket science. As Preseason Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year, STUD end Curtis Weaver had the most preseason hype of any Bronco, and he has delivered. Weaver is tied…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: What are you wishing for – Part II
Presented by FRANZ WITTE NURSERY. Thursday, October 24, 2019. Since it’s a bye week, and Boise State is reviewing the first half of the season, let’s review something I wrote two weeks before the season started: “Some people just can’t understand why the Broncos aren’t at least 12-1 every year and actually call for a…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Hoping for more push up front
Presented by FRANZ WITTE NURSERY. Wednesday, October 23, 2019. Boise State, of course, lost running back Alexander Mattison and quarterback Brett Rypien to the NFL this year. The saving grace as the Broncos broke in new starters at those positions was to be the offensive line, which returned all five starters from 2018. Not that…… MORE
