Boise State Hosts Fresno State Amid Key Changes

Boise State (6-2, 4-0) hosts Fresno State (5-3, 2-2) Saturday at Albertsons Stadium for the Milk Can, with Boise a 17.5-point favorite and riding a 16-game home winning streak tied for the nation’s longest. Boise will be without top receivers Chris Marshall (one-game suspension) and Ben Ford (season-ending leg injury), weakening its offensive options, though its defense features playmakers such as safety Ty Benefield. Fresno recently replaced E.J. Warner with sophomore Carson Conklin after a shutout loss to San Diego State; coach Matt Entz said he values Conklin’s leadership and will stick with him as the Bulldogs pursue bowl eligibility. Fresno holds the trophy since 2022 and won last year 37-30, but Boise’s home dominance and recent form make the Broncos clear favorites.
