Nevada travels to No. 12 Boise State on Saturday for a prime-time matchup with the daunting task of trying to pull off an upset. Key to creating chaos will be to slow down Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty, a potential Heisman candidate who has rushed for 1,525 yards and 20 touchdowns for the Broncos.

Boise State also has a first-year head coach in Spencer Danielson. But his season has been markedly different as he has the Broncos sitting atop the Mountain West.

“ is almost a must,” Choate said. “Their edges are really good and they do a really good job of mixing coverage looks, too.” Last week against San Diego State, Madsen threw for a career-high 307 yards and four TDs after the Aztecs committed to stopping Jeanty.If there’s one glaring flaw in the Boise State defense, it is found in the unit’s penchant for giving up explosive plays. The Broncos have yielded 23 plays of 30 yards or more this season, which ranks 114th among FBS programs.“Nobody has really moved the ball consistently well against Boise State,” Choate said, “but they have given up some explosive plays.
