Boise State plays its second-consecutive road game in the Mountain West when it takes on No. 25 Fresno State.
THE SERIES
The Broncos lead the all-time series, 15-7, and are 5-5 at Bulldog Stadium. Since joining the Bulldogs in the Western Athletic Conference for the 2001 season, Boise State is 15-4 against Fresno State, including a mark of 5-3 in Fresno. In Mountain West games, the Broncos are 5-3 against the Bulldogs, and have met three times in the MW Championship Game (2014, 2017 and 2018). This week’s match-up is the first between the Broncos and Bulldogs since the 2018 Mountain West Championship Game, which Fresno State captured, 19-16, in overtime (Dec. 1, 2018). It will also be the Broncos’ first visit to Bulldog Stadium since Nov. 25, 2017, when Fresno State defeated Boise State (28-17) in the regular-season finale. The Broncos defeated the Bulldogs a week later in the 2017 MW Championship Game (Dec. 2).
THE GAME
The Boise State football team will travel to square off against Fresno State, ranked No. 25 in the Associated Press Poll this week, the first time this season the Broncos will play back-toback games on the road. The Broncos and Bulldogs are slated to kick at 5 p.m. at Bulldog Stadium, Saturday (Nov. 6), and the game will be nationally televised by CBS Sports Network.
BACK-TO-BACK ROAD GAMES
For just the fourth time since joining the Mountain West in 2011, and for the first time since 2019, the Broncos will play back-to-back conference games on the road in consecutive weeks. The Broncos also did it in 2011, 2014 and 2015. The Broncos won both games in both 2011 and 2019, and went 1-1 in 2014 and 2015, dropping the first game in 2014 and the second game in 2015.
SUCCESS ON THE ROAD
Boise State has won 13-consecutive conference road games, dating back to a Nov. 25, 2017 loss to Fresno State (28-17).
GAMES AGAINST RANKED OPPONENTS
Boise State is 16-21 all-time against ranked opponents, including a road victory earlier this season over 10th-ranked BYU (27-17; Oct. 9). This will be the third game the Broncos have played against a ranked opponent this season, and the seventh time that Boise State has faced a ranked Bulldog squad. The Broncos are 3-3 in such games against the Bulldogs, and 1-1 this season against ranked opponents.
