No. 12 Boise State Aims for Seventh Straight Win Against Nevada

No. 12 Boise State is set to host the Nevada Wolf Pack at Albertsons Stadium, aiming to secure their seventh consecutive win and bolster their College Football Playoff resume. The Broncos, with a strong 7-1 record and a perfect 4-0 mark in the Mountain West Conference, are favored by 24 points over the 3-7 Wolf Pack, who are winless in conference play[1].

The game marks a significant milestone as it could be the last time Nevada visits Boise State in the foreseeable future, given Boise State’s upcoming move to the PAC 12. This adds an emotional layer to the matchup, as fans and players alike hope to see the rivalry continue in some form in the future[2].

Boise State’s defense has been a key factor in their success, ranking top five in the country in both scoring and yards per game. The team’s sophomore defensive lineman, Jayden Virgin-Morgan, has been particularly impressive, recording his ninth sack of the year in the opening quarter against Nevada[1].

Ashton Jeanty, Boise State’s star running back, is also in the spotlight as a Heisman Trophy hopeful. With a strong performance against Nevada, Jeanty could further solidify his position in the Heisman odds, which have seen significant shifts following recent games. Jeanty’s journey, marked by family loyalty and dedication, has been highlighted in recent media coverage[1][4].

The pregame festivities saw Boise State wearing all-black uniforms, while Nevada opted for all-white. The weather in the Treasure Valley was favorable, with a temperature of 48 degrees and no rain, setting the stage for an exciting matchup[1].
