The starting lineups are in for Saturday’s Week 1 showdown between Boise State and No. 2 Oregon at Autzen Stadium.

The non-conference game will air live on CBS. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:40 p.m. Mountain time.

On offense, Boise State had competitive fall camp position battles at wide receiver and offensive line. The Broncos will start true freshman receiver Rasean Jones and a pair of untested interior linemen in Carson Rasmussen (right guard) and Stewart Taufa (center). 

The Broncos have several new faces in the secondary, including Kennesaw State transfer JeRico Washington Jr. (cornerback) and South Dakota transfer Roman Tillmon (nickel). 

During Monday’s press conference, Boise State head coach Spencer Danielson said Washington Jr., Sherrod Smith and Jaden Mickey will all see lots of action at cornerback.

 “The cornerback competition has been at a high, high level,” Danielson said. 

Both teams declined to release a public depth chart ahead of Week 1.

Boise State quarterback Maddux Madsen is making his 27th career start behind center. Madsen, who owns a 20-6 record as a starter, enters his final college season with 6,586 passing yards and 50 touchdowns to 18 interceptions. The fifth-year senior has also run for 11 touchdowns. 

The Ducks, who will not have five-star freshman wide receiver Jalen Lott and UAB transfer receiver Iverson Hooks, are a massive 24.5-point favorite over the Broncos.
