🔼 Week Eleven. Boise State, on a six-game winning streak and making an appearance in the inaugural CFP national rankings this past Tuesday, returns to Albertsons Stadium on Saturday for a 6 p.m. kickoff against Nevada on FOX. The Broncos enter the game with a 7-1 record, featuring the nation's 4th-ranked offense, averaging 509.1 yards per game. The Broncos are also averaging 45.8 points per contest, which is third-best in the country. Since 2019, the Broncos are 19-2 at home in conference games and have won 12 straight conference home games.

🔼 High Praise. Boise State men’s basketball forward Tyson Degenhart is officially receiving consideration for the 2025 John R. Wooden Award Men's Player of the Year honor as he was named to the award's preseason watch list. The 6-8 senior is a two-time All-Mountain West First Team recipient and a 2024 CSC Academic All-America First Team honoree. With last night's game, Degenhart has 102 career games, including 96 starts. He has scored 1,374 points, grabbed 517 rebounds, and is the only player in school history to start in three straight NCAA Tournament games.

🔼 Five Set Fight. Four Broncos reached double-digit kills in a balanced offensive performance as Boise State rallied from a set down twice to get by the Wyoming Cowgirls in five sets in front of a sold-out crowd. The win improved Boise State to 16-8 overall and 8-6 in Mountain West play. Anabel Kotzakov recorded a team-high 17 kills while Paige Bartsch matched Kotzakov's kill total of 17 and added one service ace, one block solo and two block assists.

🔼 Forever Remembered. Last weekend, Boise State Athletics welcomed six new former Bronco student-athletes into its Hall of Fame. Hear from each of the new members as they reminisce on their time in Boise and what it means to be inducted into such a special space.

🔼 Going For 2 Campaign. As part of the previously-announced "Going for 2" campaign, in which Boise State Athletics and The Horseshoe Collective are seeking to raise $2 million in NIL support to benefit Bronco student-athletes by the end of the 2024 calendar year, the collective is launching a five-week online auction featuring 100 authentic Nike jerseys, autographed by Ashton Jeanty. The first auction opened yesterday at 10 a.m. and will close Wednesday, Nov. 13, at 11:55 p.m.
