👟 What’s next
🔷 And much, much more!

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Hall of Famer. Bob Behler, the “Voice of the Broncos,” is set to be inducted into the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame this weekend. The other milestone event in Behler’s life this weekend? Calling a game at Notre Dame as the Broncos take on the Fighting Irish in South Bend.

“I don’t miss games. I wish it could have lined up with a bye,” said Behler of the Hall of Fame ceremony. “But you don’t do 13 years at stadiums in the Patriot League from 1986 to 1999, work your butt off and then turn down to do a game at Notre Dame.”

🔼  Broncos in the NFL. It’s time to check in on the highlights from some of your favorite former Broncos in the NFL! Ashton Jeanty rushed for 138 yards and a touchdown while catching two more scores for the Raiders, making him the only player in the NFL to log 150+ yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns in a game this season.

Meanwhile, the Seahawks’ George Holani returned three kicks for 74 yards, while Tennessee’s John Ojukwu played all offensive snaps on Sunday, as did Jacksonville’s Ezra Cleveland.

Finally, Khalil Shakir tallied five catches for a season-high 69 yards and a touchdown as the Bills beat the Saints. Shakir is second among all NFL receivers in missed tackles forced (8) this season and fifth in yards after catch (137).

🔼  To Vegas. Four Broncos are Vegas-bound for the Mountain West Fall Qualifiers! Last year, Boise State women’s tennis brought home the singles and doubles titles, and this season, Masa Viriant/Allison Isaacs and Teresa Polakova/Paula Schaefer will team up in doubles and compete in singles play over the four-day tournament. Champions of the singles and doubles brackets earn automatic bids to the ITA Conference Masters Championships next month. Play gets underway today.

🔼 Game Ready. Boise State women’s soccer has two matches coming up this week! First, the Broncos will hit the road this evening to take on Colorado College with the match getting underway at 6 p.m. On October 5, Boise State will square off against Air Force. Tonight’s game will air live on the Mountain West Network.

🔼  What’s Next. Boise State cross country is on its way to South Bend for the Joe Piane Invitational tomorrow! The women’s team will kick things off at 7:50 a.m. MT in the 5k, before the men compete in the 8K at 8:30 a.m. MT.

🔼 Still Undefeated. Boise State Rocket League is still perfect in the Mountain West this season! The squad swept Utah State 3-0 this week, climbing to 3-0 in conference play. The Broncos now own a +20 goal differential in Mountain West play and will put their perfect record on the line against New Mexico next week.
