Boise State Broncos Set to Clash with New Mexico Lobos at University Stadium in Football Showdown

As the Boise State Broncos prepare to take on the New Mexico Lobos at University Stadium, fans are eager to see if the team can bounce back from their recent defeat. The Broncos, who have a record of ten wins and four losses, faced a challenging game against Oregon State Beavers where they fell short with a score of 17-34.

Despite the loss, there were some positive takeaways for Boise State. The rushing game showed potential with an impressive 74-yard touchdown contributing to their total of 126 rushing yards. However, turnovers proved costly as they gave up five in total – two fumbles lost and three interceptions thrown.


The passing game was also an area of concern; while completing nearly 64 percent of passes for 185 yards sounds decent, it was overshadowed by three interceptions and only eight first downs achieved through the air. The red zone efficiency stood at just 25 percent – a statistic that will need improvement against New Mexico.


Defensively, Boise State managed two interceptions but failed to record any sacks against Oregon State. They'll be looking to apply more pressure on the quarterback this time around and create more opportunities for turnovers without giving up significant yardage or points.


Special teams had mixed results; while field goal success was low at just over 33 percent, kick returns averaged a respectable 17 yards per attempt.


The upcoming match is crucial for Boise State as they aim to regain momentum in their season. Playing away from home presents its challenges but also offers an opportunity for redemption after their previous outing's shortcomings.


Fans can catch all the action live on CBS Sports Network when these two teams face off on September 10th at University Stadium in Albuquerque. Kickoff is scheduled for local time (MDT), so mark your calendars and support your team as they look to secure another victory on their quest towards success this season.
