There are few football games as equally exciting and nerve-wracking as the season opener.

Those questions will be answered for Boise State at 1:45 p.m. Saturday when it hosts Troy at Albertsons Stadium.

As of Thursday afternoon, a bit more than 28,000 tickets were sold for a game pitting two 10-win teams from a season ago.
