The Beavers painted their practice field blue to prepare for Boise as the Broncos have won 56 consecutive home games in blue jersey’s since losing at home in white in 2001. Teams often complain that the Bronco players are hard to see in blue on the blue turf, although you don’t hear that complaint about teams in green on green turf. “We’ve got them right where we want them if they’re painting their field,” head football coach Chris Petersen said. “They refuse to let people run on them,” head football coach Mike Riley said of the Broncos, who held Wyoming running backs to 17 yards. “So we have to find our balance. We have to be that team that can punch and counter-punch with them.” Vegas odds makers have the Boise State Broncos a -18 point favorite at home against the Oregon State Beavers.
