Boise State vs. Colorado State Key Player to Watch
- Dylan Riley, RB - Boise State Broncos
Boise State has once again produced one of the best running backs in college football. Dylan Riley has already run for 1,049 yards and nine touchdowns, averaging 6.4 yards per carry. Colorado State will have to find a way to contain him to a certain extent if the Rams want to hang in this game.
Boise State vs. Colorado State Prediction and Best Bet
The Colorado State offense is good enough to keep them in this game. Sure, their defense is the worst in the nation, but their offense is extremely good, which is going to make it difficult for Boise State to cover this 17.5-point spread.
The Rams rank second in all of college football in EPA per rush, and now they get to face a Boise State team that's 82nd in opponent EPA per rush and 45th in opponent rush success rate. Colorado State would be smart to keep the ball on the ground, move the chains, drain the clock, and keep it as close as possible for as long as they can.
