Welcome back everyone, to the Hike’s Peak podcast, thank you for coming back to the mountain! Week 5 is in the books, and some teams are sitting prettier than others. To kick us off, we’re going to look at a historic week for Mountain West quarterbacks, and what that means for the rest of the season. Then, we’re taking a few teams to the doctor’s office to diagnose what’s going on with them, good or bad! The squads in question are preseason favorites Colorado State and San Jose State, who both have only one win at this point, as well as New Mexico, who continues to look locked in as they won the Rio Grande Rivalry in front of their first sold out home crowd since 2007. After that, we’ll spend some time talking about some rumors that linked UNLV head coach Dan Mullen to the recently-vacated Arkansas job, and whether or not I believe them. To end the show, following our Hike’s Peak player of the week of course, we’ll break down the biggest non-conference game of the season, with Boise State travelling to South Bend to take on #22 Notre Dame. All of that is coming up right now, let’s dive in!
