Boise State, 20.5-point underdogs, aims to upset Notre Dame on October 4 in a high-stakes clash.

Boise State faces Notre Dame in a pivotal matchup on October 4, with the Broncos aiming to upset the heavily favored Irish. Despite being 20.5-point underdogs, Boise State hopes to leverage quarterback Maddux Madsen’s rushing ability and a disciplined defense to counter Notre Dame’s strong offense. The Irish, coming off a 56-13 win over Arkansas, must limit big plays and protect quarterback CJ Carr amid a questionable defensive back. With Notre Dame needing wins to stay in playoff contention and Boise State seeking another historic upset, the game promises high stakes for both teams.
