Boise • Sure, Utah has defeated BYU seven straight times and Utah State has gotten the best of the Cougars in the last two battles for the Old Wagon Wheel.
But no college football team that has played BYU regularly the past 20 years has eked out more close victories over the Cougars than the Boise State Broncos.
That is especially true at Albertsons Stadium, where Boise State is 4-0 against BYU, with three of those wins coming by a single point. Both teams have two wins apiece in Provo.
The independent Cougars (4-4) and Broncos (6-2) of the Mountain West Conference renew their rivalry on Saturday night on the blue turf in front of what BSU coach Bryan Harsin expects to be a sellout crowd, meeting for the seventh-straight year.
