A likely must-win for Boise State in its Mountain West title hopes. The opponent, tied for the highest-ranked team to ever come to Albertsons Stadium. Strength against strength. The first time a program built on acting like an underdog has actually been an underdog at home in years.
Friday’s matchup between No. 16 Fresno State and Boise State is as big of a conference game the Blue has seen in a long time, but the fans aren’t buying it. The school reported nearly 29,000 tickets had been sold as of noon Wednesday for the 36,387-capacity venue.
A big crowd could make a difference between the schools that are a combined 15-3 this season, neither having lost in at least a month.
