After an underwhelming 3-2 start in conference for the Boise State Broncos, the team bounced back tremendously en route to their third Mountain West championship in seven years. Their reward? A matchup against one of the toughest defenses in the country, in the UCLA Bruins.

Going up against UCLA's defense will be even tougher now that the Broncos have lost quarterback Taylen Green to the transfer portal. Replacing him will likely be freshman CJ Tiller, who has played just two snaps all season.

The Bruins are facing quarterback troubles of their own. They also lost a quarterback, freshman Dante Moore, to the transfer portal, and while they still have options in Ethan Garbers and Collin Schlee, both players are dealing with injuries and may not be full strength by game time on Saturday.

All in all, there are too many question marks surrounding both teams to feel confident in either. In any case, it should make for a thrilling matchup. Here's how to watch.
