BOISE, Idaho — Editor's Note: The highlights above originally aired during Sunday Sports Extra on Nov. 21.
Heading into the final week of the regular season, the Boise State football team has finally found its footing and identity, for better and for worse, and are now on a four-game winning streak.
The 2021 college football season started off shaky for the Broncos, but the team under first-year head coach Andy Avalos is within striking distance of a nine-win season and has the opportunity to beat a third Top 25 team this season against the San Diego State Aztecs on Friday.
When the No. 22 Aztecs (10-1, 6-1 MWC) host the Broncos (7-4, 5-2) at a soccer stadium in Carson, Calif., a full two-hour drive away from San Diego State's campus, at 10 a.m. MT Friday, Bronco Nation will likely be finishing up breakfast. When halftime rolls around, it might be time to graze the fridge for Thanksgiving leftovers.
The Broncos' game against the Aztecs is scheduled to kick off at 10 a.m. MT on Friday, Nov. 26 and will be nationally televised on CBS.
Dignity Health Sports Park, where the Aztecs are playing their home games while their new on-campus stadium is being built, has a maximum capacity of 27,000. It was the former home of the Los Angeles Chargers while their new home with the LA Rams was under construction.
With wins over No. 10 BYU and No. 23 Fresno State, the Broncos have a chance to play spoiler again on Friday morning against the Aztecs. Boise State's 26-17 over the Cougars was the Broncos' first win over an AP Top 10 team in the regular season since 2001 and their 40-14 win over Fresno State was the program's largest margin of victory over a Top 25 team ever. In that time span, the Broncos also beat #7 Oklahoma and #3 TCU in bowl games.
A win over the Aztecs on Friday would be the Broncos' third win over a Top 25 team this season, the first time the team has ever done that in program history. While two wins over ranked teams are nice enough to hang your hat on, it is the first time the Broncos have done it since the 2009 and 2010 seasons, Avalos and company have the chance at adding to the historic legacy of a season like none other on Friday morning if they can complete the goal of being 1-0 this week.
