Boise State and Air Force will both have tough competition tonight as they face off to see who could become the best in the Mountain West. Will Boise State be on their way to earn their second Mountain West championship title or will their chances to be champions lost? Boise State has only lost one of their five home games this season. So there is no excuse for not signing up and leaving your thoughts. Below is everything you need to know about the game, including the Boise State vs. Air Force online live stream, TV broadcast information, game notes and prediction.

“It bothers me tremendously”, Boise State junior linebacker Ben Weaver said. Even though the Aztecs lost, he’s doubled down on the comments in recent months as his team leads the Mountain West’s West Division. The Broncos (7-3, 4-2 MW) are looking to put last week’s 31-24 stunning loss to New Mexico behind them. Tailback Jeremy McNichols busted an 83-yard touchdown run on the first play from scrimmage and Air Force fumbled on its first play.

Boise State Broncos head coach Bryan Harsin looks on during second half action against the New Mexico Lobos at Albertsons Stadium. “We just have to go out there and be more consistent”.

Boise State’s offense was rendered mostly ineffective most of the game, falling behind 34-13 with 8:27 left in the third quarter. Until freshman quarterback Brett Rypien’s 34-yard touchdown pass to junior wide receiver Thomas Sperbeck with 53 seconds remaining in the third, the Broncos had six straight scoreless drives, the first ending in a blocked field goal attempt while still leading 13-10. All of these factors are multiplied as this will be Boise State’s last home game of the season.

20 Boise State seniors will be honored before the game tonight.

Air Force will need to contain the Broncos’ high-powered offense, and have won four straight going into Friday’s matchup.

Timothy McVey, who had two receptions for 67 yards, added 74 yards on eight rushing attempts. His 1,289 yards this season are a new school record. Jeremy McNichols led the Broncos backfield that was overshadowed by the passing attack, with 178 total yards and two scores.
