DateSat., Nov. 14
Kickoff4 p.m. on USA

If you're free Saturday morning, ESPN's will broadcast live from Boise on Sat., Nov. 14, and fans can watch for free at a stage on campus. It's only the show's second visit here. The first, in 2010, ended with Boise State beating Oregon State 37-24.

The crew is Rece Davis, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Nick Saban and Pat McAfee. We suggest getting there early, since the show starts at 7 a.m.

  • GameDay: 7 to 10 a.m. on ESPN
  • Kickoff: 4 p.m. on USA against Oregon State
  • Signs: only appropriate ones, with no offensive words
  • Stakes: a win clinches a Pac-12 title game spot and hosting rights

Boise State brings the better record into Saturday

Coach Spencer Danielson said of the speculation: “Anything that can highlight Boise State, Boise, Idaho, our players, I think would be an awesome moment, an awesome opportunity.” The Broncos were No. 25 in the first College Football Playoff rankings and slotted in as the 12th and final team in a 12-team bracket.
