The Boise State football team is seven spots behind No. 14 Utah State in the AP Top 25 this week — and yet the Broncos are favored to beat the Aggies on Saturday night at Albertsons Stadium.
That has less to do with the blue turf than the soft spot in the Aggies’ 10-game win streak. The best team they’ve beaten is BYU (6-5). Only two defenses they’ve faced during the streak ranked in the top 70.
That said, the Aggies are fully capable of winning on the Blue — a place where Boise State hasn’t lived up to its nearly unbeatable reputation in recent years.
