BOISE, Idaho — Boise State looks to build off its best performance of the season as it enters a "hostile environment" Saturday night to face Fresno State in a rematch of last year's Mountain West title game.
The Broncos need a win to keep pace in the conference standings and to avoid giving up the Milk Can rivalry trophy. Earning a winning record for the first time fall won't come easy, as the Bulldogs tout a 7-1 record and a top-15 passing attack in the country.
Saturday's matchup gets underway at 8 p.m. MT on CBS Sports Network. Boise State is a slight underdog, but carries momentum into the Golden State after limiting Wyoming to 112 yards of total offense last week. The Cowboys are the only team to beat Fresno State this year.
Whether you traveled with the blue and orange or are rooting from the City of Trees, start your Saturday morning with the official TV station for Bronco Nation! KTVB will be live in Fresno with two different pre-game shows, one to kick off game day and another leading up to game time.
The first Bronco Roundup Game Day Show with Sports Director Jay Tust and Brady Frederick goes from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. MT Saturday on KTVB Channel 7, KTVB.COM, KTVB+ on Roku, Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV, and the KTVB mobile app. Tune in for an in-depth preview, matchup storylines, players and battles to watch, and more.

Bronco Nation can watch as Boise State players and coaches take the field, and see the sights and sounds from the Bulldogs' home field. Veteran running back George Holani made his return last week, but sophomore standout Ashton Jeanty was forced to leave the game with an injury.
The Bronco Roundup Game Day Show prior to game time will hit on last-minute injury updates and depth chart notes, as Tust and Frederick dive into all things Boise State vs. Fresno State.
"When you walk from the locker room down to the field, those fans are gonna make you feel like you don't belong there, and you wouldn't have it any other way," Boise State defensive coordinator Spencer Danielson said. "That's college football at its finest and that's the way it should be when you're going to an opponent's house. We know that's what it's gonna be and we're excited for the challenge."
