Percentile vs all FBS, based on this season's per-game production. Bar = where this team ranks — right is better.

Home-field advantage · Boise State · 2018–present · FBS opponents
Boise State is worth +4.0 points more at home than on the road.
Middle of FBS, 48th percentile of 133 programs
78% at home, 68% away against FBS opponents since 2018 (36–10 home, 32–15 away). Interval ±3.5.
Our model gives every stadium the same flat 2.3-point home edge — per-team modelling was tested and did not survive scrutiny (why) — and the books use about 3. Against the closing line, Boise State has beaten the number by +3.1 more at home than away over 80 games — inside the ±6.0 that many games can resolve. Results here cannot tell the flat number apart from the building, and that is the honest reading of nearly every FBS stadium.
Albertsons Stadium seats 36,387 and has averaged 95% full (34,515, 26 games reported). Visitors cover a median 564 miles to get here since 2018 — 35th-longest of 135 FBS venues, inside the ordinary range. 11% of the 2026 roster (11 of 103 located players) grew up inside 100 miles of the stadium.
Edge = half the gap between average home margin and average road margin, FBS opponents only, non-neutral games since 2018; the interval is 95%. Market line: closing spread, seasons with lines on file. Trip length is straight-line miles from the visiting team's campus to the venue, measured across all 51 home games since 2018.

The carries are split. The job isn’t.
Dylan Riley and Sire Gaines split the carries (36/64 vs 28/64) -- but the job isn't split the same way.
Scheme claims
Fourth-quarter reliability, corrected
Boise State's 4th-quarter offense, before and after garbage time
Raw Q4 EPA/play ranks 49th percentile in FBS. Strip out snaps taken with a blowout margin and it drops to the 44th — the correction is the finding, not a footnote.
Standard downs vs. passing downs
Does Boise State hold up once the down-and-distance turns against them?
58th percentile success on standard downs, 46th on passing downs — little dropoff between the two — a schedule-independent identity.
