This week six matchup will see the Boise State Broncos take on the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels
This is an important game because both teams play in the Mountain West. The Runnin’ Rebels are 0-1 in the conference, while the Broncos are 1-0. Boise State are the clear favorite to play for the Mountain West championship, but UNLV could hurt their chances if they somehow come up with a huge upset.

These teams last met in 2016. The Broncos won this game 42-25.
Boise State Broncos
Boise State is one of the few remaining undefeated teams entering this week. Granted their schedule is very weak, but nonetheless, they have taken care of business.
They are coming off a win over Air Force in which they won by a score of 30-19. It was not the greatest performance, but it was enough to get the job done.
On offense, they only managed to rack up a total of 345 yards. This is much lower than their average of 476 yards per game.
Their quarterback, Hank Bachmeier, throw for 263 yards and two touchdowns. The Broncos average 322.5 passing yards per game, so this game from Bachmeier was a little less than his best effort.
The defense allowed 345 yards to the Falcons, but were gashed on the ground. They allowed the Falcons to rush for 242 yards, but this was on 51 rushes. Granted the Falcons are an option team, so this is not something that the Broncos will have to face against the Runnin’ Rebels’
The Broncos may not have to face the option, but between the pass and rush defense, the rush defense is the area that is worse. The Runnin’ Rebels have a decent rushing offense, so this is what needs to be the focal point for the Broncos. If they can shut down the run, they will cruise to an easy win.
UNLV Runnin’ Rebels
The Runnin Rebels have had a terrible start to the season, going 1-3 through their first four games. They now may have to play without their quarterback, Armani Rodgers, as he is listed as questionable with a knee sprain.

They were blown off the field by Wyoming last week. The score to this game was 53-17. They even led after the first quarter by a score of 10-7, but then were outscored 26-0 in the second quarter and that was basically the game.
Their offense put up 398 yards of total offense, but had three turnovers. As a team, they average 26 points per game, which ranks 89th in the country.
Their run game was absolutely terrible in this game, picking up only 77 yards on 33 rushing attempts. Considering they average 201.5 yards per game on the ground and rank in the top 45, this was a huge drop-off.
Their defense was shredded again, allowing 498 total yards. Specifically they allowed 374 yards on the ground. They are 120th in the country in rush defense, but 64th in pass defense which is one of the only positives given that Boise State loves to throw the ball.

Boise State is the clear winner in this game and I think they will dominate this UNLV team from the opening kickoff.

However, the spread is much too large for my liking so I will take the over as my play in this game. UNLV just allowed 53 points to Wyoming and I think Boise State are better than the Cowboys, so I like there to be a ton of points scored in this Mountain West showdown.
