Key Details
Boise State
Head Coach Spencer Danielson has built a resume that most coaches would envy, fresh off securing his third consecutive Mountain West Championship. The winning culture in Boise is undeniable, marked by an incredible streak of 28 consecutive bowl game appearances, a run of postseason consistency second only to the Georgia Bulldogs among active streaks.
Washington
Now in their second season, navigating the treacherous waters of the Big Ten, the Huskies have proven they belong, largely thanks to the dynamic play of quarterback Demond Williams. While they may not hold onto the ball as long as the Broncos, they don’t need to. When the Huskies have the ball, they move the chains. Their offense is a high-wire act of precision, ranking 8th nationally in third-down conversions, converting at a clip of 50.7%.
Prediction
This is a game where the strength of the conference counts. The Huskies will use their Big Ten power to overmatch Boise State.
