Following a week off from football, away from school and for many, some time back home, the Boise State football team will be back on the practice field Monday.
And there won’t be any time to ease back into things. The Broncos usually had padless practices the first day back but will don shoulder pads and helmets this time.
“We’re not doing that this year. We’re coming back; we’ll be in shells right away,” coach Bryan Harsin said. “To me, that’s going to tell me a lot about this team.”
Through seven practices in the first two weeks, Harsin has been impressed by the level of competition, and with a handful of key players out or limited, the backups are getting plenty of snaps to earn time in the fall.
