The Boise State Broncos and the Oregon State Beavers will face off at 10:30 p.m. ET Sept. 3 at Reser Stadium to kick off their 2022 seasons. Boise State was on the positive side of .500 (7-5) last season and is hoping to kick off an even more successful year. Oregon State is in much the same boat after finishing their last season at 7-6.
A couple last-season defensive stats to keep an eye on: The Broncos snagged 13 interceptions last year, the 33rd most (top 13%) in the nation. But Oregon State was even better: they collected 15 interceptions, good for 14th in the the nation. We'll see if that edge gives Oregon State a route to victory.
The neutral point spread forecasts a close one for these two. We'll see if the game is as close as the oddsmakers expect or if one of these teams has a surprise blowout in them.
