LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) — Now comes the easy part for Boise State, right?
After beating Virginia Tech, Wyoming and Oregon State, the No. 3 Broncos begin their farewell tour through the Western Athletic Conference on Saturday night, visiting a team they’ve dominated in recent years — New Mexico State.
If Boise State (3-0) is due for a letdown, the Broncos came to the right place. They’ll be the highest-ranked opponent ever at Aggie Memorial Stadium, where they’re 5-0 since the series started in 1996 against New Mexico State (0-3).
But are the Broncos eager for a break from an early-season media circus?
Coach Chris Petersen won’t take that approach, even if his team is favored by 43 points. He says he expects to see tremendous energy from New Mexico State’s players.
