In a world where athletes and coaches will avoid bulletin board material at all costs, motivation can come in unique ways.
Boise State would never admit it, but there was surely a sour taste left last December when the Broncos lost their potential quarterback of the future.
Zach Wilson was committed to Boise State for six months and one day, and then he told the staff on Dec. 13, 2017, that he wanted to explore further options. That was exactly one week before the December signing period began.
Wilson signed with BYU on Dec. 21, and he will make his first-ever road start Saturday at Albertsons Stadium, a place he had initially planned to call home.
