- Boise State returns third-year starting quarterback Maddux Madsen healthy after injuries and an inexperienced receiving corps contributed to his regression last season. - The Broncos expect their run game to remain an offensive strength behind Sire Gaines, Dylan Riley and an offensive line that performed well during fall camp. - Boise State must replace nearly all of its leading receivers, but JUCO transfer Akeem Wright added 30 pounds and emerged as a fall-camp breakout candidate for a major role. - The defensive front projects as a strength behind Jayden Virgin-Morgan, Max Stege and Mikaio Edward, while poor tackling, interior depth and a secondary replacing five contributors remain concerns. - Boise State's model-based outlook centers on 9-3 and roughly a 15% playoff chance because its first Pac-12 schedule is unusually demanding and the passing game's ceiling remains uncertain.

- Boise State returns most of a deep front-seven rotation, including both starting edge players and several reserves who held up well in limited snaps last season. - Two young linebackers produced strong springs and could turn a solid room into a strength if that progress carries through fall camp. - The secondary is more settled at corner after strong portal additions and late-season injury replacements proved capable, while safety remains the main open competition after a transfer departure.
