Broncos To Watch:
Offense: Running Back – Ashton Jeanty – Junior
Jeanty is the most explosive player in the country and this week he faces a Nevada defense that ranks seventh in the Mountain West against the run, this is the kind of game that Jeanty can explode and have a potential 200-yard rushing game which would be his third this season.
Defense: Safety – Ty Benefield – Sophomore
Benefield leads the Broncos’ defense in solo tackles and is tied for the team lead in interceptions, he is facing a Nevada offense that ranks fifth in passing and seventh in rushing, look for him to be all over the field and have his stamp on this one.
Bottom Line: Boise State Can Keep Rolling
The Broncos are currently one of the favorites to be the group of five representatives in the College Football playoff but they got four games left and none of them will be easy if they can keep their foot on the gas and rely on their big playmaker they will be just fine and have a chance to make a run in January.
