2. Fill the gaps

Wyoming may have one of the best rushing attacks in the country. This is countered by one of the best rushing defenses in the country as well. Boise State struggled last week in the secondary, but we know that there is a constant in the Bronco defense. That constant would be the defensive line for Boise State.

We have seen the Bronco defense stuff the run week after week. Only giving up 116 yards per game on the ground, Boise State will be tested once again on the defensive front. Fortunately, this is one of the strengths of the #22 team in the country. Curtis Weaver and Chase Hatada will have their names called quite a few times against Wyoming.

One of the most underrated parts of the Boise State Football program has been their home-field advantage. Albertsons Stadium leads the nation in opposing false starts. This is something to keep in mind with an offense for the Cowboys who depend on staying on schedule and pounding the rock. Look for the Bronco faithful to play a huge part in Saturday nights ESPN matchup.
