Pregame updates

With Atkinson out, everyone—including Boise State head coach Spencer Danielson—expected Maalik Murphy to get the start for Oregon State. During pregame warmups, Brady Jones is taking reps with the first-string offense. Jones is a running quarterback whereas Murphy is a pure drop-back passer like Atkinson.

After a stormy night, the weather is perfect in Boise. Zero wind, sunny skies and temperatures in the mid-50s. Oregon State, which has the top passing offense in FBS, is quite happy with the weather.

The Beavers will be without three key starters for today’s game: Quarterback Braden Atkinson, offensive tackle Jacob Anderson and safety Sailasa Vadrawale. Atkinson entered the week as the nation’s leading passer.
