Will Boise State’s Final Mountain West Season Be Their Most Dominant Yet—or the Start of a Downfall?
One exciting thing: A case for optimism: Quarterback Walker Eget unseated Emmet Brown midseason and flashed legit dual-threat skills in limited usage as a runner (8.2 yards on 11 designed carries, 7.4 yards on 12 scrambles) and avoided sacks (a mere 6.0% sacks per pressure rate).
Player to watch: Middle linebacker Jordan Pollard had 12 tackles for loss and 117 tackles. With 20 run disruptions, he accounted for almost half of the Spartans’ total (42) by himself.
6. Hawaii
- 2024 final TRACR rank: 10th
- 2025 preseason TRACR rank: 6th
One scary thing: Teams dared the Rainbow Warriors to throw. The UH offense faced a 64.3% heavy box rate – by far the highest in the Mountain West – and countered by calling a pass on 73.1% of its plays – also the highest. This resulted in Hawaii having some very productive receivers. (More on them shortly.) This year, a good question is: What happens if defenses try harder to stop the pass?
