Boise State coach Spencer Danielson wants his Broncos to make the most of every moment in the final two weeks of the campaign.

That means looking no further than what he considers a dangerous Wyoming Cowboys team that has just two wins this season.

“In November, when you get to that month, no matter where you play or who you play against, you get the best of everyone,” Danielson said. “It’s competition month and like I said… a lot of respect for Wyoming, for coach (Jay) Sawvel, for what they do. We have had battle after battle, we know the test that is coming.”

The Broncos (9-1, 6-0 Mountain West) can’t afford to look beyond Wyoming (2-8, 2-4) after moving BYU to the fourth seed in this week’s College Football Playoff rankings jumped.

“It’s huge,” Danielson said. “We talk to our players about that because that’s what’s going on at the moment. It’s not about anything else this week, but winning the game (means) we have a chance to go play a home game on blue in the Mountain West championship.

Boise State is 17-1 all-time against the Cowboys, including an 8-1 mark in Laramie, and has won the last seven meetings.

Wyoming returns home after a 24-10 loss at Colorado State, which followed its second win of the season, a 49-45 thriller at New Mexico on Nov. 2.

Danielson believes the Cowboys will deploy their rushing attack, which ranks 89th in the nation. It’s a three-headed monster that has enjoyed the return of Harrison Waylee, a preseason starter who ran for 185 yards and a touchdown on 35 carries in his first two games this month.

“They got some guys back healthy,” Danielson said. “Their running back is one of the better players we’ve seen all year. He’s finally healthy and explosive again.”

“We know how they’re going to be ready to play. We must complete our preparations. And I’m going to talk to our guys more about seizing the moment. Just like in life, you don’t want to be the guy who lives with regret because you didn’t seize the moment and attack it.

Offensive attack

Boise State brings one of the nation’s most productive offensive units to Laramie, as it ranks fourth in the nation at 492.2 yards per game. The Broncos have rushed to 500 or more total yards four times this season, equaling their total from the past two seasons combined.

Lots of Jeanty

If there’s one opponent Heisman Trophy candidate Ashton Jeanty would love to take on, it’s Wyoming. The junior workhorse leads the nation in several categories but has never topped the 100-meter mark against the Cowboys. He rushed for 91 yards in 2022 and just 53 in 2023. Jeanty leads the nation in rushing yards (1,893), rushing touchdowns (26), total touchdowns (27) and all-purpose yards (1,991).

Yessir Sargent!

Wyoming wide receiver Jaylen Sargent is enjoying his best football season and could be ready for a big game against Boise State’s less-than-impressive pass defense. Sargent, who has 231 yards receiving over the last two games, faces a pass defense that ranks 131st in the nation and allows 296.7 passing yards per game.

Hoedown in the red zone

The Cowboys may only have two wins and may rank 118th in scoring offense (20.4 points per game), but they are dangerous when they get inside their opponents’ 20-yard line. Wyoming ranks 14th in red zone conversion (92.3%) and will follow the Broncos defense, which ranks 26th in red zone D (77.1%).

Broncos in the backfield

Boise State’s defensive front is a threat in opponents’ backfields, ranking 13th with 196 total pressures, according to Pro Football Focus. And it’s not just team leader Ahmed Hassanein, who ranks eighth in the country with a team-high pressure of 45, as there are 15 Broncos with multiple pressures and 21 Broncos with at least one pressure. The Broncos also rank second in the country with 41 sacks.
