Boise State Lists Maddux Madsen Questionable for Colorado State Game

An MRI after a low hit to his left knee has left Madsen’s availability undecided and positioned Max Cutforth to start if he cannot play.

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.
