Last week, the Broncos announced a 2015 & 2017 series against the Virginia Cavaliers. Florida State will host the first game of the series at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee on Sept. 7, 2019. The second and final game of the series will take place at Bronco Stadium in Boise, Idaho on Sept. 12, 2020. As far as 2019 and 2020 go, it looks like an impressive non-conference slate.
On Saturdays when I was a kid out in the yard raking leaves, I could hear the crowd cheering in the distance when the Dawgs did something good. The first game I went to, Sonny Sixkiller was their quarterback. My little Brother was fishing at the Cut the day the Dawgs got revenge on the Ducks 66-0, he came home with a headache from the noise. I live in SoCal now, but I’ll be up there for the Boise game.
Previous season
Their appearance in the First Responder Bowl against Boston College was cut short when the game was postponed and then canceled due to severe weather midway through the first quarter. The one nice thing is the 14-week regular season in 2019, which allows for two bye weeks. The Broncos had to play 10 consecutive weeks after their lone bye came early in the season last year.
Boise State hits the road following the bye to play at San Jose State on Nov. 2 before the final two home games against Wyoming (Nov. 9) and New Mexico (Nov. 16). The Broncos finish the season with road games at Utah State (Nov. 23) and at Colorado State (Nov. 30). Boise State now has three non-conference games scheduled for both the 2019 and 2020 seasons, and they are the same three opponents.
Sept. 7 Marshall
I have been Dawg season ticket holder since before you were born. Let’s face reality, the Huskies have had a losing record vs. the MWC for the past 10 years. The damage done by New weasel and Tyrone was devastating. Sark stablized the ship, but we need to competitive again.
If their OOC schedule is high quality, they can get good mileage by consistently dominating the conference. Hard to talk SEC teams into travelling to Boise when Bronco Stadium holds less than 35,000. But they need to fill their OOC schedule with big boys, as many SEC, B1G, ACC or Pac-12 teams as they can get on the schedule.
Oct. 19 at BYU
Over 20% of a green football field is covered in paint. I would prefer to see us back on national tv every week. I don’t think any of us realized how bad it would be without the weekly games on ESPN. That was a huge deal and we need to fix that quick, or go INDY and make a deal with ESPN like BYU. Using the free shuttle takes the hassle out of searching for stadium parking. Downtown Boise’s public parking garages offer safe, convenient fan parking.
Each of the Bronco's conference road games will air on CBS Sports Network. The meetings at UNLV, San Jose State and Utah State will all be on a Saturday. Times were not announced and some games could still move to Thursday or Friday for TV, but Monday’s announcement at least gives the order and the weekend for Boise State’s 2019 schedule.
Sept. 21 Air Force
This year, the extra bye week means the Broncos won’t play longer than five consecutive weeks in the regular season. The season opener at Florida State in Jacksonville on Saturday, August 31, was already announced by the ACC a few weeks ago. The Broncos will then play three straight weeks at home against Marshall (Sept. 7), Portland State (Sept. 14) and Air Force (Sept. 21). This is all well and good for Boise, but it would be nice if they could get a decent nationally rated team to come to Boise before 2020-that is 7 1/2 years from now.
It’ll be nice to schedule now a Big XII team willing to do a home and home with the first stop being in Boise. Im a little disappointed in the 2015 game vs Idaho State, but I guess BSU had it really hard to find some good team to travel to Boise in 2015 and then BSU return the trip a few years down the road. Cincinnati now has three non-conference games set for 2019 and four in 2020. In 2019, the Bearcats are slated to travel to Ohio State, Miami , and Boise State. Boise State will host the first game of the series at Bronco Stadium on Sept. 21, 2019.
They have been changed many different directions because of Probation and joined in new conference due to 4 team playoff format. Other thing every year the poll had been given to SEC Conference teams in top 10 so that way they can able to win 7 straight National Championships. Boise State should have playing for National Championship instead of LSU vs Ohio State.
The preseason poll was released at the Mountain West media days on July 23, 2019. The Broncos were predicted to finish in first place in the MW Mountain Division. The Broncos must replace quarterback Brett Rypien, running back Alexander Mattison and receivers Sean Modster and A.J. After the first of two bye weeks, the Broncos will travel to play at UNLV on Oct 5 before hosting Hawaii on Oct. 12. The Broncos will then travel to BYU on Oct. 19 before enjoying the second bye week on Oct. 26. I grew up in Montlake, pretty much in the shadow of Husky Stadium.
They have plenty of open dates between now and then. Washington in 2015 and Virginia in 2017 are nice but both teams have been and continue irrelevant and are only a notch above Wyoming, Colorado State, New Mexico and the MWC weaklings. Boise should try to get a series with Notre Dame like they have with BYU. Throw in a couple Pac-12 opponents like USC and Stanford, and they can use their MWC schedule to continue getting 10+ wins per year.
