Report: Boise State's Maddux Madsen to Miss This Weekend's Game

Boise State's starting quarterback Maddux Madsen, who was listed as 'questionable' on the Broncos' injury report going into the Colorado State football game this weekend, will not play on Saturday.

While many close to the program are not totally shocked by this, fans obviously hoped to see the usual started suited up and healthy.

A report coming from a national sports writer seems to confirm that 'questionable' is looking more like 'will not play'.

The report came from ESPN's Pete Thamel, who somehow, always get the scoop on these types of breaking news events.

You can see his statement on the injury report, below:

Sources: No. 25 Boise State star quarterback Maddux Madsen will miss the game at Colorado State on Saturday. He’s dealing with a minor knee injury. The Boise State staff expects him back to start against Oregon State next week.

Madsen went down with an injury last week against Texas State and is still on the mend.

The good news? Fans got a glimpse of backup Max Cutforth, who stepped up in a big way and played as if he himself was the starter, effectively leading the Broncos to a comeback victory against Texas State.

Boise State's offense relies heavily on the run game which could also be promising news in the absence of their starting quarterback. We should also mention, the Broncos would much rather face a weaker Colorado State team without Madsen than the highly anticipated Oregon State contest, next week.

We will continue to monitor the situation and update Bronco fans before and after this game!
