• What went wrong in the Fiesta Bowl?
• What will Koetter miss most about coaching, and what does the future hold for him?

It's Championship Week in Boise, Idaho!

The 10th-ranked Broncos host 20th-ranked UNLV with the conference title and a spot in the College Football Playoff riding on the line.

Coming up on this episode, former Boise State wide receiver Shane Williams-Rhodes and KTVB Sports Director Jay Tust discuss...

•  A Senior Day recap of Boise State's win over Oregon State.

•  What the return of junior center Mason Randolph means for the Broncos on offense (and how he managed to return over a month ahead of schedule.)

• Some of Ashton Jeanty’s most impressive stats this season.

• How portal poachers are already coming after some of Boise State’s top players.

Boise State has survived a few close calls lately, but winning ugly in November is better than any alternate outcome. On this episode, former Bronco defensive back Kekaula Kaniho joins KTVB Sports Director Jay Tust to talk about the challenges of performing in the final moment of the season. They also recap the Wyoming, preview Oregon State, breakdown Boise State’s effective fourth quarter rushing attack, plus discuss how players rushing back from injuries is a sign the culture is strong under head coach Spencer Danielson.

Another week.

Another record-setting night for Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty.

This time he took down the single-season school rushing record, and he did so in just the 10th game of the season.

Coming up on this edition of Jay's Sports Bar, former Bronco wide receiver Shane Williams-Rhodes and KTVB Sports Director Jay Tust discuss an "ironman" effort from the defense, the best game of the season for Maddux Madsen and the wide receivers, plus a preview of the Wyoming game.

Which is actually a more impressive feat by a college football player?

1. Playing about 120 snaps per game.
2. Racking up 139 total touches and 777 yards of offense – mostly between the tackles – in a four-game span?

On this episode of Jay's Sports Bar, former Bronco wide receiver Shane Williams-Rhodes and KTVB Sports Director Jay Tust continue to track the Heisman race between Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty and Colorado two-way standout Travis Hunter.

Tust and Williams-Rhodes also recap the (ugly) Nevada win, break down Maddux Madsen's performance against the Wolf Pack, provide injury news that is both good and bad, and more.

The Boise State football team jumped to No. 12 in the AP Top 25 this week, the highest they have climbed in the post-Kellen Moore era. 

More importantly, the Broncos were also included in the first-ever 12-team College Football Playoff bracket reveal.

On this edition of Jay's Sports Bar, Boise State great Shane Williams-Rhodes and KTVB Sports Director Jay Tust discuss:

• Why the Broncos might have a better chance at earning a bye than a home game in the College Football Playoff.  
• Why teams are more focused on stopping Ashton Jeanty from winning the Heisman than beating the Broncos.
• How Maddux Madsen has something in common with a number of first round NFL Draft picks.
• The Dirk Koetter effect.
• Boise State's matchup with Nevada.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas – unless you're the Boise State football team, who brought another W back to the City of Trees last weekend.  

The Broncos performed in clutch moments against the Rebels. Former Boise State standout Shane Williams-Rhodes and KTVB Sports Director Jay Tust take a look at three plays on defense that saved the game, plus the two-minute tipping point where Boise State grabbed all the momentum at the end of the first half.

On this episode of Jay's Sports Bar, Tust and Williams-Rhodes also discuss:  

• Maddux Madsen's "clutchness"
• Jayden Virgin-Morgan's development  
• Ashton Jeanty's "off night" (which really isn't a thing)
• No. 15 Boise State's matchup with San Diego State on Friday

The Boise State football team hasn't lost to UNLV since 1976, and the closest the Rebels came to beating the Broncos in that span was a 17-point loss in 2016.

This matchup feels different though, and it might even be the biggest Group of Five game of the season.  

Boise State is 5-1 and the highest ranked team in the Group of Five, meaning they hold the inside track to qualifying for the first-ever expanded College Football Playoff this December. Meanwhile, UNLV – who is 6-1 – could swap places with the Broncos with a win.

On this episode of the show, KTVB Sports Director Jay Tust is joined by former Seattle Seahawks running back turned CBS Sports football analyst Robert Turbin to break down the matchup.

Also on Jay's Sports Bar:  

• Ashton Jeanty responds to Travis Hunter's Heisman talk
• Find out the three biggest keys to a Bronco win on Friday
• Hear from Boise State head coach Spencer Danielson, offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter and junior tight end Matt Lauter

As the buzz continues to build around Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty, analysts and athletes from around the country are weighing in on his chances of claiming the 2024 Heisman Trophy. 

On this episode of Jay's Sports Bar, former Boise State wide receiver Shane Williams-Rhodes and KTVB Sports Director Jay Tust dismiss some claims while validating others. 

Also, is sophomore Maddux Madsen the best quarterback in the Mountain West? And should fans be worried about the Bronco defense? 

We answer those questions and more during the second bye week of the season.
