Welcome back everyone, to the Hike’s Peak podcast, thank you for coming back to the mountain! After a crazy regular season led us back to the blue turf for the championship game, Ashton Jeanty and Boise State ran through UNLV to secure everything from a first round bye in the CFP to a Heisman finalist spot for their star RB. We’ll go over everything surrounding the conference championship, then it’s time to hop on the coach carousel! We had two huge switches this week, with New Mexico HC Bronco Mendenhall leaving the Lobos after one season to take the job at Utah State, and UNLV’s Barry Odom taking off for Purdue. What’s next for these two programs, and what names could be in the mix? (Don't worry, Fresno State fans, I remember to talk about the Matt Entz hire at the end of the show!) To end the show, we’ll quickly go over each bowl eligible Mountain West team’s destination for the bowl season, and we’ll cap it off with each team's most notable transfer portal entry, and portal season is also in full swing. Mammoth episode this week, let’s dive in!
