Boise State vs Nevada Prediction
I’ll stick with Boise State. The Broncos made short work of a superior San Diego State team last week, posting 541 yards (322 passing), 6.8 yards per play and a whopping 34 first downs. Boise State gave up 256 yards (155 passing) on the other end, along with 12 first downs and 2-of-14 on third down conversions. It was a dominant overall effort.
As for Nevada, they did a pretty good job on offense on Saturday, save for two fumbles and going 3-of-11 on third down conversions. The Wolfpack have already given up a total of 72 points in their last two games, and that trend likely won’t stop there.
