BYU considers Boise State a rival

Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News

BOISE — BYU and Boise State have met only eight times on the football field, but it’s clearly become a rivalry.

“There have been some really close games. Also, even though we’re not in the same state, we have a lot of fans in Idaho,” Cougar coach Kalani Sitake explained. “They’ve had a lot of success. Maybe them being on the schedule more consistently has made it that way. There are three teams that we feel like are on the schedule more than others year-to-year — Utah, Boise and Utah State.”

The Broncos and Cougars collide Saturday night in Boise.
