It’s getting closer to the weekend, and that means more football games. Once again, it’s the mid-way point of the weekend, and we are already closer to game day. Through it all, we have you covered. Take a look at today’s links, plus the content coming your way on our site.

This week, Chris Vannini discusses Boise State’s 0-2 start and recent putrid home record (8-6 over its last 14 games).

Until now, the Nevada football program has never lost 12 games in a row. And the most recent one was an embarrassing loss to FCS Idaho. But coach Ken Wilson remains confident in his team. The reason?

And he does his best to keep the locker room upbeat, even though it’s been over a year since the Wolf Pack last won a game. As for the road ahead, it doesn’t get any easier with Kansas up next.
