Скачать или смотреть Boise State Football: Identity Crisis and WR Meltdown | Ep. 82

Therapy session time. We break down a flat, turnover-ridden loss that felt like UTEP déjà vu: dropped TDs, back-to-back false starts, baffling RB usage, and a WR room that submarined the day. Then we zoom out—leadership vacuum, special teams regression, QB depth/NIL realities, and whether the “run-first” identity still makes sense. We finish with rapid-fire national highlights and a look ahead to the bye and San Diego State—where this staff either steadies the ship or it cracks.

Also: ticket giveaway details in the cold open. Sponsor shoutout to Boise Dentistry Co. (Eagle Rd between Ustick & McMillan). Mention “Shirts & Skins” for a free X-ray.
