Eastern Washington Eagles @ Boise State Broncos Preview

The Boise State Broncos are set to host the Eastern Washington Eagles in what promises to be an intriguing early-season matchup. The Broncos are looking to rebound after a 34-7 loss to South Florida in their last outing. A key player to watch for Boise State is running back Malik Sherrod, who showed explosive potential in the spring. Despite expectations that Sire Gaines might handle most of the carries, Sherrod's strong offseason performance suggests he could be a significant factor in the Broncos' offensive scheme.

On the other side, the Eastern Washington Eagles are coming off a 31-21 loss to No. 5 Incarnate Word. While the Eagles' defense demonstrated considerable improvement against the run, holding Incarnate Word to just 2.9 yards per carry—half of what they allowed last season—their offense struggled to find consistency in the second half, accumulating only 270 total yards. Quarterback Jared Taylor completed 21 of 38 passes for 183 yards and added 35 rushing yards. Redshirt junior Marceese Yetts was a dual threat, contributing 59 rushing yards and 63 receiving yards. The Eagles will need their offense to click for a full 60 minutes to challenge the Broncos on the road.
