No. 12 Boise State Broncos Face Off Against Struggling Wyoming Cowboys in Crucial College Football Matchup

The No. 12 Boise State Broncos are set to take on the Wyoming Cowboys in a college football matchup on Saturday, November 23, 2024, at Jonah Field at War Memorial Stadium in Laramie, Wyoming. The game is scheduled to kick off at 7 p.m. ET and will be televised on CBS Sports Network, with live streaming available on CBSSports.com and fuboTV.

Boise State, with a strong 9-1 record and an undefeated 6-0 conference record, is a significant favorite in this game, boasting a 22.5-point spread according to the SportsLine consensus. The Broncos are led by star running back Ashton Jeanty, a Heisman Trophy candidate who has been instrumental in their success. In their last game, Jeanty ran for 159 yards and three touchdowns against San Jose State, helping the Broncos secure a 42-21 victory.

Wyoming, on the other hand, is struggling with a 2-8 record and numerous injuries. Key players such as running back Sam Scott and defensive tackle Jordan Bertagnole are out due to lower-leg ailments, adding to the Cowboys’ challenges. Despite these setbacks, Wyoming will look to pull off a major upset, which would be one of the biggest in the program’s history.

The Broncos have dominated the series recently, winning eight out of their last nine games against Wyoming. Boise State’s offense has been thriving, ranking fourth-best in the FBS with 492.2 total yards per game, while their defense has allowed 371.7 yards per game. In contrast, Wyoming’s offense and defense have struggled, with the team averaging just 325.8 total yards per game and allowing 429 total yards per game.

This game is crucial for Boise State as it aims to secure a spot in the College Football Playoff. A win would keep their undefeated conference record intact and potentially set them up for a bye and a home game in the playoffs.
