BOISE, Idaho (AP) — National rushing leader Ashton Jeanty resumes his run for the Heisman Trophy and No. 15 Boise State continues to chase a spot in the new 12-team College Football Playoff when the Broncos host the San Diego State Aztecs on Friday night in a matchup of teams undefeated in Mountain West play. The Broncos (6-1, 3-0) can solidify their spot atop the Mountain West standings as the calendar turns to November.
San Diego State (3-4, 2-0) is still trying to find an identity in Sean Lewis’ first season as coach. Colorado State is the only other team undefeated in MW play, also at 3-0. Coach Spencer Danielson said there's still plenty of room for the Broncos to learn and grow.
Even though the Broncos beat San Diego State when they played in Boise in 2022, they don't forget any home loss, including the 19-13 defeat at the hands of the Aztecs on their blue turf in 2018. “We know it's going to be a huge test Friday night on the Blue. Undefeated in conference.
Monster game," Danielson said. "We've had battles here on the Blue versus San Diego State. I'll never forget, 2018, losing on the Blue to San Diego State.
You don't forget those moments. Those are the things we're excited to attack, especially who they are and what they're going to be about. We've got to be ready to play and we will be.
” Lewis said BSU is “a really complete team that’s playing high-level ball” and said Jeanty is “a physical runner with home run speed.” Lewis also lamented SDSU blow.
