Yahoo Movies How to watch, attend the Mountain West championship between Boise State and Fresno State
The Boise State and Fresno State football teams will meet for the second time this season, this time with the Mountain West championship on the line.
Kickoff is 2 p.m. Saturday at Albertsons Stadium, and the game will be nationally televised on FOX.
On Oct. 8, the Broncos beat the Bulldogs 40-20 behind 100-yard rushing nights from George Holani (157 yards) and Ashton Jeanty (109 yards). But the Bulldogs were without star quarterback Jake Haener that game and key defensive players, and since have rattled off seven straight wins.
The Broncos are playing for their conference-leading fifth Mountain West championship.
