Boise State (3-1) and No. 21 Notre Dame (2-2) face off in Week 6 at Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend in the first-ever meeting between these two programs.
Boise State has re-stabilized after a rough start, posting three straight wins, including a dominant 47-14 victory over Appalachian State, where they forced four turnovers and held the Mountaineers to just 65 passing yards.
Their quarterback, Maddux Madsen, has been sharp. He’s thrown for 1,129 yards and 9 touchdowns with just one interception thus far. The Broncos also spread the ball around, with Chris Marshall being a deep threat, averaging over 21 yards per catch.
Defensively, Boise State’s secondary has to face a stiff test. They held Appalachian State’s passing game in check, but now face a much more dangerous Notre Dame aerial attack.
Notre Dame, meanwhile, is riding a wave of offensive firepower. The Irish backfield tandem of Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price has been exemplary. Love leads in rushing, and Price has scored six touchdowns on just 45 touches, averaging 6.8 yards per carry.
Their passing game, under C.J. Carr, also presents big-play ability. Through four games, he has nine touchdowns on 71-of-104 passing. But the Notre Dame defense could struggle to contain a high-tempo Boise State offense.
Prediction
This matchup favors Notre Dame heavily. Their strengths in the run game, depth, and home-field edge are significant. Boise State can threaten in spurts, especially with Madsen’s arm, and if they force turnovers. But overall, the Irish should control tempo and pull away.
Projected Score: Notre Dame 38, Boise State 20
