Preview Boise State at Washington State

This Saturday Boise State ranked number 21

in the country plays at Washington State. 

Boise State is at top of the Pac-12 and is

favored to win the conference.

BSU only loss of the season was in week one

when they almost upset the Oregon Ducks

on home field. Last week was their closest 

win beating Fresno State 38-31 on the road

making their season 5-1. They are 12.5

favorites this coming Saturday against the

Cougars. 

Boise State Broncos are averaging 35 points

a game while their opponents are  at 22.3.

Maddux Madsen is the Broncos quarterback 

and he has 13 touchdowns and no interceptions 

on the season while completing 66.3 percent 

of his passes.

The Broncos are averaging more on the ground

then passing which is rare in college football.

They average 234.5 on the ground while 216

in the air.  Dylan Riley is there number one runner

and he is averaging 6.6 yards a carry and has 6

touchdowns on the season. Sire Gaines is number 

two at 5.4 per carry with 3 touchdowns. He has

just over as many carries as Riley. It will be

important for the Cougars to stop them. It is

interesting since the Broncos offense is different
than the Beavers last week pass the ball more

although did have a runner who had over 100 yards.

Rasean Jones the Broncos wide receiver has

23 catches on the season for 359 yards and one

touchdown. Comes to receiving they have to watch 

for tight end Matt Wagner who had 22 catches 

for 242 yards and four touchdowns. Third in

catches is wide receiver Akeem Wright with 11

catches for  181 yards and one touchdown. 

Last week the Cougars benched the QB from

the previous games in favor of redshirt freshman 

Owen Eshleman who accounted for most of the 

offense. He ran for 136 on only 15 carries and

a touchdown. Passing he threw for 289 with 2

touchdowns and one interception. The interception 

happened at the end of the game. The rest of

the running game had only 65 yards. The Cougars 

have a chance not only will Eshleman have

to repeat much what he did against the Beavers

will have to get more yards from the running 

backs on the ground.  Go Cougs.
