This is the first-ever meeting between Boise State and Louisiana-Lafayette, but the two teams do have a common opponent already this year. Each team played Ole Miss, with the Ragin' Cajuns falling last week 56-15, while Boise State hung around for most of the game they lost 35-13.
Look for Louisiana-Lafayette to challenge this Boise State secondary which is not at full strength as Cleshawn Page is still out with a leg injury with Jonathan Moxley is starting in his place, but the Broncos do get back Donte Deayon. However, Louisiana-Lafayette quarterback Terrance Broadway will be without his top target with wide receiver Jamal Robinson out.
Also, expect Boise State running back Jay Ajayi to be able to have a big game and not go slipping and sliding on the BlueTurf Saturday night.
