The Boise State Broncos will take on the Memphis Tigers Saturday at 6:00 p.m. ET at Albertsons Stadium (Boise, Idaho).
Boise State is coming home looking for redemption after taking a loss in their road opener. They took a 34-27 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Oregon Ducks in Week 1.
Boise State's defeat came about despite a quality game from quarterback Maddux Madsen , who threw for 181 yards and three touchdowns.
Even though they lost, Boise State stayed disciplined and finished the game with only 25 penalty yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now had at most 25 penalty yards in three consecutive games dating back to last season.
Meanwhile, Memphis gave up the first points in Week 1, but they didn't let that get them down. They took down the Arkansas State Red Wolves 42-24. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Tigers.
Running back Jaylin Carter had a dynamite game, rushing for 183 yards and four TDs while picking up 9.6 yards per carry. His longest rush was for an incredible 74 yards.
Boise State couldn't quite finish off Memphis when the teams last played back in Week 5 of 2023 and fell 35-32. Will the Broncos have more luck at home instead of on the road?
