It’s not ‘too big for him’: Boise State QB race is in its infancy, but freshman steps up

Let us get it out of the way first — the Boise State football team has held just seven practices in March, including one scrimmage.

That being said, it sure looks as if true freshman quarterback Hank Bachmeier is the real deal.

One of five scholarship quarterbacks looking to replace Brett Rypien as the Broncos’ starter, Bachmeier has taken the most first-team snaps along with senior Jaylon Henderson.

“I like the way he throws. He’s a really good thrower, he prepares himself very well ... he doesn’t seem to make the same mistake twice,” BSU coach Bryan Harsin said of Bachmeier.
