The Broncos did it! Boise State wins the Mountain West title and clinched a spot in the College Football Playoff with a 21-7 win over UNLV. pic.twitter.com/VK7x3qX58w — B.J. Rains (@BJRains) December 7, 2024 BOISE – Ashton Jeanty rushed for 209 yards and a touchdown and the Boise State football team won the Mountain West…
Boise State coach Spencer Danielson has had no shortage of things to use this week to fire up and motivate his team ahead of Friday night’s Mountain West Championship Game on The Blue against UNLV. The Broncos have never won back-to-back Mountain West Championships. They haven’t won a title game in front of the home…
I tend to be the levelheaded one in the room when people say “Biggest ______ ever!” When people said the regular season matchup between these two was the biggest game between G5 teams ever, I was quick to remind people of the 2010 Fiesta Bowl. When people say this is the biggest game in conference…
In a surprise to nobody, Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty was named the Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year on Tuesday while coach Spencer Danielson was named the Mountain West Coach of the Year as part of the 2024 All-Mountain West Postseason Awards. Boise State also had seven first-team All-Mountain West selections in…
The regular season is over and the Mountain West awards were released this week. I don’t have a vote on the All-Mountain West selections, but this is what my ballot would looked like. I will be doing two all-conference teams and a brief honorable mention list for each position. Instead of listing the teams first,…
A year ago this week the Boise State Broncos were playing for an interim coach and had a 7-5 record. They somehow qualified for the Mountain West Championship Game, where they topped UNLV 44-20 to win one of the most improbable conference titles of all-time. Going into week three of a national coaching search Alexander…
Ahmed Hassanein didn’t want to take his pads off after Boise State’s 34-18 win over Oregon State on Friday afternoon. He wanted to play the Mountain West Championship Game right then. “Let’s go. I’m ready to go right now,” Boise State’s senior defensive captain said. “Let’s go play.” Boise State thankfully gets a week to…
Boise State has looked off for three weeks in a row, most recently winning a 17-13 nail-biter against Wyoming. Can the Broncos get right against an Oregon State squad looking to clinch bowl eligibility? The Beavers lead the all-time series 6-4 (tied 4-4 since the Broncos went to D1-A), most recently beating the Broncos 34-17…
Ashton Jeanty had 19 rushes for 169 yards and a touchdown and surpassed the 2,000-yard rushing mark for the season in Boise State’s 17-13 comeback win at Wyoming on Saturday night. The win clinched a perfect 7-0 conference season for the Broncos and a spot in the Mountain West championship game on Dec. 6th. Jeanty…
The Boise State men’s basketball team is off to a 5-2 start, coming off a heartbreaking loss to Boston College 63-61 in the title game of the Cayman Islands Classic. The Broncos led by nine with 8:27 left before giving up a 15-1 run and ultimately losing on a buzzer-beating 3-pointer. If that shot rims…
Oh my. Joshua Beadle hits a 3-pointer from the corner with 2.2 seconds left to stun Boise State in the finals of the Cayman Islands Classic. Broncos go 2-1 on the Islands, but were a shot away from a championship. Unreal. pic.twitter.com/qtlE8rDieZ — B.J. Rains (@BJRains) November 27, 2024 GEORGE TOWN, GRAND CAYMAN – The…
GEORGE TOWN, Grand Cayman – After the first free throw touched nothing but net on its way through the hoop, Boise State coach Leon Rice knew what he had to do. With 1.1 seconds left on the clock and Boise State clinging to a 83-82 lead, Rice signaled for a time out before South Dakota…
GEORGE TOWN, Grand Cayman – For the first time since 2017, the Boise State men’s basketball team is moving on to the winner’s bracket in an early season tournament. Tyson Degenhart had 25 points and O’Mar Stanley added 13 points as the Broncos topped Hampton, 83-69, in the first round of the Cayman Islands Classic…
Let me take you back to the 2021-2022 basketball season. The Boise State men’s basketball team started 3-4 before making Tyson Degenhart a starter and proceeding to go 24-3 – winning the Mountain West Tournament and earning an 8-seed in the NCAA Tournament. At one point, the Broncos scored 39 points in a Quad 4…
Tyson Degenhart had 20 points and 11 rebounds and Andrew Meadow had 18 points and nine rebounds as the Boise State men’s basketball team picked up an 84-71 win over Clemson on Sunday afternoon at ExtraMile Arena. Boise State, which lost 85-68 at Clemson last season after getting out-rebounded by 15, was plus-8 on the…
BOISE – Six players scored in double figures and Boise State scored 68 points in the paint in a dominant 100-65 win over Corban on Tuesday night. O’Mar Stanley had 15 points, 13 rebounds and four blocks for the Broncos, who got a game-high 16 points from NAIA transfer Javan Buchanan and 14 points from…
The date was Sept. 7th, 2022, when Boise State freshman and student manager Brennan Ramirez wrote a message to himself in the ‘notes’ app on his phone. “I WILL walk on at Boise State University.” A little more than two years later, his dream has become reality. Following two years as a team manager and…
There was only one thing Leon Rice would have drawn up differently from an 87-43 win over Oakland on Wednesday night in a season-opening blowout at ExtraMile Arena. “Yeah, if the scoreboard worked,” Rice joked. Technical difficulties to the scoreboard was about the only thing that went wrong for the Broncos. Boise State burst out…
New Boise State point guard Alvaro Cardenas has experienced plenty of firsts since arriving in Boise over the summer. How different are things than at San Jose State? He had never even done a pregame interview prior to his chat with six local reporters Tuesday ahead of his Boise State debut on Wednesday. Cardenas, one…
