Boise State prepares for game against Oregon in Pac-12 debut
Summary

As the 2026 college football season begins, Boise State is set to face Oregon on September 5. The Broncos, who recently joined the new Pac-12, aim to reclaim their competitive edge after underwhelming performances last season, including a nine-win finish. Quarterback Maddux Madsen returns for his third year as a starter, looking to improve upon his previous statistics of 41 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. Boise State's move to the Pac-12 follows a significant shift in their conference affiliations, as they departed from the Mountain West.
