Overview
- Boise State’s Week 10 availability report, released Nov. 5, officially lists starting quarterback Maddux Madsen as questionable for the game at Colorado State.
- The team said Madsen underwent an MRI and is day-to-day, and coach Spencer Danielson has indicated the issue does not appear to be long-term.
- Madsen exited Boise State’s Oct. 31 win over Texas State after taking a low hit to his left knee, and backup Max Cutforth led three fourth-quarter touchdown drives to complete a comeback.
- Cutforth has prior starting experience when Madsen missed games last season, going 2-1, so he would be the expected starter if Madsen is unavailable and the final call could come at game time.
- Madsen’s strong season numbers and veteran status make his availability material to Boise State’s offense and conference hopes, so the team’s short-term quarterback decision will shape game plans and season momentum.
