1. Bucking Bronco
When a Bronco meets a Bronco things are certain to get interesting, and that’s generally been the case when Boise State tangles with Bronco Mendenhall. UVA’s third year head coach was someone we saw plenty of when he was skulking the sidelines for BYU and whatever your personal feelings toward the man (like the first name, personally), his teams always seem to play hard and what more can you ask for (besides limitless wealth/power)?
2. A first time for everything
Boise State will face an ACC team at home for the first time in school history on Friday night.
