No. 20 Boise State<\/a> enters Saturday\u2019s home Pac-12 showdown<\/a> with Texas State on a six-game winning streak.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Broncos (6-1, 3-0), who are the favorites to represent the Group of Six in the College Football Playoff<\/a>, are coming off a 31-10 road win over Washington State.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Texas State (4-3, 2-1) is riding high following a pair of home victories over Colorado State and Utah State.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the closing line<\/a> from DraftKings Sportsbook, Boise State was favored by 10 points over Texas State.\u00a0<\/p>\n

First quarter updates<\/p>\n

Madsen scrambles for a six-yard touchdown on third-and-goal. I\u2019m sure the Bobcats are quite unhappy with how that 13-play, 83-yard drive unfolded. Boise State 7, Texas State 0, 5:35 to go in the first half.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Maddux Madsen\u2019s first interception of the season is overturned on a pretty soft hands to the face penalty on Texas State. Tough, tough break for the Bobcats, and the second massive swing play for Boise State tonight.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For the second straight week, Boise State survives a muffed punt as the Texas State player who recovered the ball was out of bounds. That\u2019s two muffed punts by Cam Bates this year and four for the Broncos overall. I wonder if we’ll see Boise State catch another punt tonight.\u00a0<\/p>\n

My goodness, Cam Bates muffs another punt. I don\u2019t understand how Boise State\u2019s special teams continue to make mistake after mistake. Truly unfathomable. Texas State recovered the ball at the Boise State 17, but I don\u2019t think the Bobcats player had possession before going out of bounds. The play is under review.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Excellent defensive start for the Broncos, who get a quick three-and-out on a soggy field. Ball security could be a storyline tonight.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pregame recap<\/p>\n

San Diego State survives against Washington State, 26-20. We are about ready to begin play at rainy Albertsons Stadium.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Two of the Pac-12\u2019s top running backs will be on the field tonight in Boise State\u2019s Dylan Riley and Texas State\u2019s Torrance Burgess Jr. Expect a bigger load than usual for Riley as No. 2 running back Sire Gaines is out <\/a>with an unspecified lower-leg injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In other Pac-12 action, Utah State rolled to a 31-14 win over Colorado State earlier today. San Diego State is clinging to a 26-20 lead over Washington State late in the fourth quarter. Oregon State and Fresno State will kick off at 9 p.m. Mountain time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The rain is coming down hard at Albertsons Stadium on Halloween. Taking a peek at the forecast, I\u2019d expect it to be wet for the majority of tonight\u2019s game. Both teams prefer to run the ball, so both teams should be comfortable in these conditions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Legendary Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore is in the house for tonight\u2019s game. The Broncos will officially unveil a bronze statue of Moore during the game. Moore, the winningest quarterback in college football history, is in his second season as head coach of the New Orleans Saints, who have a bye this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n
