No. 25 Boise State heads down to Tampa, Florida to kick off the 2025 season against the University of South Florida (USF) Bulls. This will be the first meeting between the two teams in school history.

No. 25 Boise State went to South Florida for its season opener and was absolutely handled by the Bulls. USF was in control throughout, forcing three fumbles and stuffing Boise on several fourth-down conversion attempts to win convincingly, 34-7, in a result that's damning for the Broncos' hopes of returning to the College Football Playoff.

The lowest-priced ticket for Boise State’s home opener against Eastern Washington sits at $37 in section 134, which is the highest tier in the south end zone. Some of the best available seats, as determined by Ticketmaster, are selling for $106 each in section 23, which is on the east side of the stadium next to the student section.

Thursday games kick off the Week 1 schedule and there's several interesting matchups. We break down the biggest ones.
