ESPN has confirmed that its College GameDay crew will broadcast from Boise this weekend.
The show is the largest traveling pre-game broadcast in the United States. Fans have speculated about a stop in the city for several weeks.
Boise State enters the game with a record of nine wins and one loss. The team is competing for a spot in the College Football Playoff. Only the top-ranked non-power program is guaranteed a berth in the tournament. The Broncos have won their last two games while using a backup quarterback.
The opponent, Oregon State, is currently 5-4. The Beavers have lost their last two contests. A victory in Boise likely will not be enough to secure a playoff position for the visiting team.
Local officials and fans expect early morning activities around the stadium. The atmosphere is projected to be energetic from the start of the broadcast until the final whistle.
The matchup is scheduled for the upcoming Saturday. The presence of the national media crew adds a major event to the Boise calendar.
