This matchup is every bit David vs. Shaq vs. Muggsy Bogues. Andre the Giant vs. Mini Me. Boise State, the 12th-ranked team in the nation, is on the fast track to the initial team College Football Playoff.
Not only are they likely to crash the party, the Broncos could receive a bye and even host a game on The Blue. A major reason why is Heisman hopeful Ashton Jeanty, who more than likely will eclipse the 2,yard rushing mark tonight inside War Memorial Stadium. A win tonight will also vault the Broncos into the Mountain West title game for the seventh time in the last eight seasons. Two-win Wyoming limps into this home finale with a laundry list of injuries.
Running back Sam Scott and defensive tackle Jordan Bertagnole are both on the shelf with lower-leg ailments. If the Cowboys can pull off the miracle of all miracles tonight on the high plains, it will technically be the second-biggest upset in the program's history. So is senior defensive tackle, Casper native Jordan Bertagnole. Both lower-body injuries. Boise State, a team known for its plethora of uniform combos, is in all white with a blue lid.
He's dressed tonight and appears ready to go. Read about his scary situation HERE. Expect the senior running back to have a major role in this one, as Jay Sawvel hopes to "drag" this game out. It's currently 46 degrees and the wind, for now, is not a factor.
What a career for the former walk-on. Will never forget his debut at Nevada in and scrambling through the roster and asking, "Who the hell is that guy? And how do you pronounce that name? Not sure why? He played three years at Navarro TX -- one didn't count Covid -- and two seasons here. He was out on the field for warmups. No flag. Brutal non-call.
