Boise State will enter Notre Dame Stadium as a massive underdog. 

The Broncos (3-1) are a 17.5-point underdog in next weekend’s matchup with No. 21 Notre Dame (2-2). Kickoff between the Broncos and Irish — two College Football Playoff participants a season ago — is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Mountain time on Saturday. 

The Irish, who have picked up back-to-back victories over Purdue (56-30) and Arkansas (56-13) following an 0-2 start, opened as a 16.5-point favorite. Early money on Notre Dame pushed the line up to 17.5 points. 

The over/under for Saturday’s non-conference game is 63.5 points. 

“It’s going to be a four-quarter game that we’ve got to be ready to play,” Broncos head coach Spencer Danielson said after Saturday’s 47-14 rout of Appalachian State. “They’ve obviously got the talent, the skill, the toughness, all the things that a team that was in the national championship last year (has).

“You see their record at home; the best teams win at home, and they’re no different. So we know we’re going to have our work cut out for us.”

Boise State and Notre Dame have never met in football.

Boise State has won three straight games following a 34-7 loss at South Florida to open the season. 

The Broncos rank ninth nationally in total offense at 520 yards per game. Notre Dame isn’t far behind at No. 16 (479.8 yards).
