BOISE, Idaho — With the exception of 2014, when BYU’s football team was a mess offensively after the season-ending injury sustained by starting quarterback Taysom Hill and leading running back Jamaal Williams’ nagging leg injury, the Cougars’ games at Albertsons Stadium have been close, down-to-the-wire affairs.
Friday’s showdown on the blue turf in front of 1,000 or so students and family members (Boise State’s, only) who have been allowed in at the 11th hour, should be similar, seeing as how BYU is 7-0 and ranked No. 9 in both major polls and Boise State is 2-0 and No.
