College GameDay returns to Boise

ESPN announced on Sunday that its College GameDay broadcast will return to Boise State for the first time since 2010. The live show is scheduled to air from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. Mountain time on Saturday, leading up to the Broncos’ game against Oregon State.

This marks the second time the program has visited the Treasure Valley. The previous visit occurred on Sept. 25, 2010, when the third-ranked Broncos hosted 24th-ranked Oregon State. Rece Davis will host the upcoming broadcast alongside analysts Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee, and Nick Saban. College football insider Pete Thamel, analyst Steve Coughlin, and reporters Jen Lada and Jess Sims are also expected to be on site. The three-hour program will be available on ESPN, ESPNU, the ESPN App, and Disney+.

The upcoming contest represents the 12th meeting between the two schools, though it is the first time both programs have competed in the same conference. Boise State holds a 4-1 record against the Beavers at Albertsons Stadium. The Broncos enter the game with an 8-1 overall record and a 5-0 mark in Pac-12 play. They currently sit at No. 25 in the College Football Playoff rankings and No. 20 in the Associated Press poll.

Boise State secured its 29th consecutive winning season on Saturday with a 64-38 victory over Colorado State. This result extends the nation’s longest active winning streak. The team has won eight straight games after opening the season with a 34-27 road loss to No. 2 Oregon. Oregon State enters the matchup with a 5-4 overall record and a 3-2 conference record.

Kickoff for the game is set for 4 p.m. Saturday at Albertsons Stadium.
