Through 3 Quarters

The Boise State Broncos were the heavy favorites here for a reason. After three quarters it's looking more and more like their high-powered offense is just too much for the Utah State Aggies as the Broncos lead 28-7. Boise State has come by their advantage honestly, as they have outgained Utah State 330 yards to 148.

Boise State has enjoyed the tag-team combination of QB Hank Bachmeier and RB George Holani. The former has passed for two TDs and 222 yards on 25 attempts in addition to punching in one rushing touchdown, while the latter has punched in one rushing touchdown in addition to snatching one receiving TD. Bachmeier's 52-yard touchdown toss to WR Khalil Shakir in the second quarter made for one of the most memorable moments of the night.

Boise State is struggling to protect the pocket and have allowed three sacks. They are going to have to protect the quarterback better if they want to hold on to their lead.

What to Know

The Utah State Aggies are 1-4 against the Boise State Broncos since October of 2015, but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit Saturday. They will face off at 7 p.m. ET Oct. 24 at Albertsons Stadium to kick off their 2020 seasons. While the Aggies were not exactly top dog last year, they did wrap up the year with a winning record of 7-6. Meanwhile, Boise State finished a solid 12-1 in the regular season last season, but they are hoping to make up for a 38-7 loss to the Washington Huskies in the Las Vegas Bowl.

A pair of last-season defensive stats to keep an eye on: Utah State ranked 19th worst in the nation with respect to rushing touchdowns allowed last season, where the squad gave up 29 (bottom 86%). To make matters even worse for Utah State, Boise State was 14th best in the nation (top 11%) in sacks, finishing the 2019 season with 40.

The Utah State sideline is surely aware that they're the underdogs in this one. We'll soon see whether they can make the experts look bad.
