I could understand how that seems odd. However, it's nothing specific against Boise State as to why the schedule is formatted that way. As far as I know, the Mountain West plays an 18 game schedule with nine home games and nine road games (only eight home-and-home matchups) which leaves teams playing two schools in the conference only either once at home OR away. For example, Boise State will host Fresno State this season but not have to travel back to the SaveMart Center for a road game. The Broncos will also travel to Air Force, but not host the Falcons.
Specifically with New Mexico though, I don't think much thought is put into back-to-back games at New Mexico given that the Lobos will still come to Boise later on this season.
Hope that makes sense and clears things up!
