Boise State, which sits atop the conference table with 16 points, will take an 11-2-1 record and 5-0-1 league mark into Friday night's game at Air Force. The Broncos are riding an eight-game (7-0-1) unbeaten streak after playing New Mexico to a 2-2 draw and defeating San Diego State, 1-0, on the road last week. Boise State is 5-2-1 away from home this season.  
 
The series between Colorado College and Utah State is level at 2-2-3 after the teams played to a 1-1 tie last year in Logan. The teams also are even in the three previous meetings in Colorado Springs at 1-1-1.
