Three months to the day since Boise State football’s last full game — never forget the First Responder Bowl! — the Broncos open spring practices Friday.
It has been a bit of a weird time since then, with the bowl game that wasn’t, three defensive assistants leaving (including coordinator Andy Avalos), losing its top rusher to the NFL, the dismissal of the second-leading tackler but also finishing off one of the best recruiting classes ever in the Group of Five.
Suffice it to say, the Broncos are eager to get back onto the field.
