GameDay Returns to Boise for Nov. 14 Matchup
The pregame show will air from campus ahead of the Broncos hosting Oregon State.
By Samantha Reed ·
ESPN’s College GameDay will broadcast live from Boise State University campus this coming Saturday, November 14. The show runs from 7 to 10 a.m. MST and serves as the pregame coverage for the Broncos’ home game against the Oregon State Beavers.
This marks only the second time in Boise State history that the program has selected the campus for its live broadcast. The previous visit occurred in September 2010 for another matchup against Oregon State. That game ended with a 37-24 victory for the Broncos, who were ranked No. 3 at the time.
The broadcast team includes host Rece Davis alongside analysts Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee, and Nick Saban. Reporters Pete Thamel, Stanford Steve Coughlin, Jen Lada, and Jess Sims are also expected to be on site. Boise State officials will announce the specific location of the GameDay desk later this week.
The Broncos enter the contest with an 8-1 overall record and a 5-0 mark in conference play. They improved to No. 17 in the Associated Press Top 25 poll on Sunday, rising three spots after a 64-38 road win over Colorado State. That victory also secured the team’s 29th consecutive winning season, the longest active streak in the nation.
In the College Football Playoff rankings released Tuesday, November 3, Boise State sits at No. 25. The team currently holds the automatic qualifier spot for the Group of 6, which includes the Pac-12. If the Broncos finish the regular season ranked in the CFP, they would secure a direct path to the 12-team playoff.
Oregon State enters the game with a 5-4 overall record and a 3-2 conference record. The Broncos are ranked one spot above Oregon, the team that defeated them 34-27 in the first week of the season in Eugene. Kickoff for the Saturday game is set for 4 p.m. MT at Albertsons Stadium.
