The Boise State Broncos, with a 14-5 overall record and an identical 5-1 mark in conference play, have shown resilience and capability to be a top contender in the Mountain West. There is a reason why they are favored at home over ranked Utah St today.


Defensively, Boise State has been more impressive. The Broncos allow only 65.2 points per game, highlighting the ability to effectively stifle opposing offenses. The field goal defense is slightly weaker than the three-point defense, which stands at an impressive 30.1% against.

The Broncos' recent win against Fresno showcased the ability to perform under pressure, and I like that to carry over today as they upset Utah St.
