Boise State to hold second-round game in 2018

Boise State is hosting its second-ever game in the second round of the 2018 college football playoffs, as the Broncos host Washington State on Thursday night.

Head coach Jeff Tedford said the game will be televised on ESPN2.

The Broncos will host Washington in a second-to-last meeting of the regular season, a game the Cougars have won nine straight times against.

The Cougars’ season-opening win over Washington was the second of two games this season in which the Broncos defeated the Huskies.

The Broncos are expected to have a pair of quarterbacks in Trevor Siemian and Jacob Eason, who will have to make do with the backup role.

Eason was injured in the Cougar win over the Huskers, and Siemian has started all three games this year.
