2. Run, run and run some more

There are a plethora of reasons why the Broncos should look to the ground on Saturday night to beat the Aggies. The biggest reason being that they are down to one of their last quarterbacks on the roster which has speed as well. The Broncos are averaging just under 300 passing yards on the season but will certainly look towards the ground to carry them all night long.

Freshman running back George Holani has torn it up this year with 692 rushing yards and five touchdowns. The freshman seems to be getting better and better with each snap and is ready for a breakout game. With the Aggie defense giving up almost 200 yards a game on the ground, this is a huge weakness that Boise State should be able to exploit.

Even if the Aggies sell out on the run with the quarterback situation for Boise State, the Broncos have speed on the outside for screens and other methods of getting their playmakers out in space. We should see a heavy dose of the skill players on Saturday night to punch the Aggies in the mouth all game long.
