Boise State travels to Provo, Utah to face No. 10 BYU.

THE SERIES
Despite being just 380 miles apart, Saturday's meeting is just the 12th all-time between Boise State and BYU. This week's game is also the 10th of a 12-year series that began in 2012 and will end in 2023. The schools announced a series extension last season – after a one-year hiatus in 2024, the rivalry will resume in Boise in 2025 for the first of a 10-year scheduling home-and-home agreement. The Broncos are 7-4 against the Cougars all-time, including a 2-3 mark on the road. The Broncos' last road victory came Oct. 6, 2017 (24-7).

THE GAME
The Boise State football team will travel to Provo, Utah, to square off against 10th-ranked BYU in the team's final nonconference game of the 2021 regular season, Saturday (Oct. 9). The Broncos and Cougars are slated to kick at 1:30 p.m. at LaVell Edwards Stadium, and the game will be nationally televised on ABC. This week's game will be the first regular-season broadcast on ABC since the Broncos' road match-up at Nevada, Dec. 1, 2012. The Broncos defeated the Wolf Pack, 27-21, that day.

VS. RANKED OPPONENTS
Boise State is 15-21 all-time against ranked opponents, but has lost each of its last four games against teams in the top 25. Against top-10 opponents, Boise State is 5-3 all-time. The Broncos dropped last year's meeting with BYU, ranked No. 9 in each poll, which ended a streak of four-straight wins over top-10 teams. Boise State will be looking for its first victory over a top-10 opponent as an unranked team since knocking off No. 8 Fresno State on the road in 2001 (35-30).

TWO WOULD BE A STREAK AROUND HERE
Boise State has not dropped consecutive games throughout the course of a single season since falling in the final two contests of 2016 – the regular-season finale against Air Force (27-20; Nov. 25) and against Baylor in the Cactus Bowl (31-12; Dec. 27).
