Mountain West football teams prepare for week one rivalry and non-conference games

College football programs across the Mountain West and Pac-12 prepare for opening weekend matchups scheduled for the coming days. Colorado State readies for its rivalry game against Wyoming as programs shift away from traditional early-season scheduling staples. Boise State coach Spencer Danielson confirmed the team is finalizing preparations for a road game against Oregon. Meanwhile, Nevada enters its game against Western Kentucky amid reports that the Hilltoppers may be missing a key player. Elsewhere, individual player development remains a focus, with Wyoming coach Jay Sawvel citing growth for receiver DeBlanc. The Pac-12 will introduce new broadcast elements this season, including audio from mic'd up coaches and players along with expanded access to replay reviews. Teams continue final practice sessions ahead of kickoff times this weekend.
