In September, the Broncos had just lost at home by 19 points to lightly-regarded Virginia and the always-solid program was only 2-2. But after a bye week, Boise won three straight and all of the talk seems to have drifted away.
“Everybody knows how I’ve always felt about the Broncos. I have a tremendous amount of respect for them,” Utah State coach Matt Wells said.
“We’ve got two losses in the league, so I understand where that puts usin the race,” Wells said. “But, to me, they are who everybody is shooting for in the league.”
Utah State bounced back from home losses to Colorado State and Wyoming to win 52-28 at UNLV last week.
