⚽ The finale
🏈 Running his own race
🔷 And much, much more!

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 The Finale. Boise State will wrap up the regular season at Boas tonight in a battle against Utah State. The game gets underway at 7 p.m., and the Broncos will celebrate Halloween with fans. Adults who register in advance for the costume contest will get free admission, while kids dressed up get in for free. Full details and preview here.

🔼 Running His Own Race. A’Marion McCoy is playing an incredible stretch of football with four interceptions in his last five games. The last time a Bronco had at least five interceptions in a season was 2015 when Darian Thompson did it. The program record? Eight, set by Gabe Franklin in 2002. And as if that wasn’t enough, McCoy is PFF’s fifth-best rated cornerback in the nation. Through it all, McCoy knows how important it is to stay humble.

🔼 Biggest Motivators. On the heels of winning his first Mountain West Defensive Player of the Week honor, cornerback Jeremiah Earby sat down in Bronco Studios. Here’s what he had to say.

🔼 Broncos in the NFL. Eleven former Broncos will hit the gridiron as the NFL gears up for Week 9. Cedrick Wilson Jr., who made his season debut last week for the Dolphins, will take the field in primetime tonight as Miami battles the Ravens.

The Chargers’ Scott Matlock played a career-high 56 snaps last Sunday; Los Angeles will take on the Titans on Sunday morning. Denver’s JL Skinner earned a team-high PFF special teams grade in the Broncos’ win over the Cowboys. Denver is slated to battle Houston this week.

Las Vegas’ Ashton Jeanty and Jacksonville’s Ezra Cleveland were both on bye weeks last week and are set to square off on Sunday afternoon. Jeanty has 531 yards from scrimmage and five touchdowns so far this season. Head coach Kellen Moore and the Saints will take on the Rams on Sunday as part of the late slate, and Buffalo’s Khalil Shakir was the team’s leading receiver as the Bills beat the Panthers last week. Shakir hauled in six catches for 88 yards and a score; Buffalo battles Kansas City on Sunday afternoon.

Finally, four former Broncos will take the field on Monday Night Football. George Holani, DeMarcus Lawrence, and the Seahawks take on John Bates, Jeremy McNicholas, and the Commanders in primetime. Last week, Holani had a career-best 34-yard kickoff return, while Lawrence notched two solo TFLs, including a sack. For Washington, Jeremy McNichols led the way for all receivers with five catches for 64 yards, and Bates made his 30th career start.

🔼 Championship Time. The Boise State men’s and women’s cross country teams are set to compete at the 2025 Mountain West Cross Country Championships. Heading into the event, both teams were voted second in the Mountain West’s 2025 pre-championship poll.

The event, hosted by Fresno State, will take place on Friday, Oct. 31. The men’s 8k gets underway at 10 a.m. MT, while the women will run a 6k at 10:45 a.m. MT. You can watch the championships here.

🔼 On Par. Boise State men’s golf finished their fall schedule at the Ka’anapali Classic in Hawaii with a 15-under par, good for a 12th-place finish in a competitive field. Cole Rueck was the top individual finisher for the Broncos, coming in tied for 18th, shooting a combined nine-under. Rueck shot four-under par in each of the tournament’s final two rounds.
