The No. 17 Boise State football team suddenly is a solid favorite to beat No. 24 Oklahoma State on Saturday at Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater, Okla. The game begins at 1:30 p.m. MT on ESPN.
Boise State is favored by 2.5 points. The opening line was Oklahoma State by 3.5 and the line had dropped to 1 on Friday. But the Broncos weren’t favored until Saturday.
Boise State hasn’t won a true game featuring two ranked teams since the 2003 Fort Worth Bowl, when No. 18 Boise State beat No. 19 TCU 34-31. Since then, the Broncos have played in four such games — losses to Georgia in 2005, Hawaii in 2007, Nevada in 2010 and Michigan State in 2012.
