Boise State Preview
Quarterback Maddux Madsen leads the Broncos’ offense with 532 passing yards and three touchdowns on 41-of-72 passing. He has spread the ball effectively, with Chris Marshall emerging as a top target at 151 yards and a touchdown on six catches. Running back Dylan Riley has added 143 yards and a touchdown on just 13 carries, showing the ability to provide explosive plays on the ground. Cade Harris has been a versatile weapon with 66 rushing yards, two rushing scores, and 83 receiving yards with another touchdown. Defensively, Isaac Hubert has posted two sacks, while Braxton Fely has added 1.5 sacks, and Ty Benefield leads the team with 15 tackles, giving Boise State a balanced unit on both sides of the ball.
Air Force Preview
Air Force has relied on its typical run-heavy style but has struggled to find an early rhythm this year. Quarterback Josh Johnson has only attempted seven passes, though he’s been efficient with two touchdowns and 112 yards through the air. Running back Cade Harris has chipped in 66 yards and two scores on the ground, but the Falcons have yet to establish a dominant rushing attack in the first two outings. Wideout Cade Harris has also been the most productive receiver with 83 yards and a touchdown on just three catches, showing they can hit the occasional big play. Linebacker Blake Fletcher has been a steady presence with 11 tackles, while Isaac Hubert has helped provide push at the line, but this defense has already shown cracks against quality opponents.
Air Force vs Boise State Pick
This matchup looks like a tough spot for Air Force, especially after surrendering 49 points last week. Boise State has the passing advantage with Madsen spreading the field and multiple playmakers capable of generating big gains. Air Force will try to control the tempo with long drives, but if the Broncos force them into obvious passing situations, it could get out of hand quickly.
