NEWS & NOTES

An old, new look for helmets

The Boise State football team brought back a look familiar to its old rival Nevada for Saturday’s game.

A new-look white helmet (with orange jerseys and white pants) was worn for the game. The script “Broncos” is the same as what the Broncos wore from 1997 to 2001, but they never had that appear on a white helmet. The helmet also features chrome facemasks.

Quick hits

Junior defensive tackle David Moa was out for the matchup against Nevada. He hurt an ankle late in the first half last Saturday at Utah State, but did not play after halftime. Moa led the team with 8.5 sacks last season and has two thus far through eight games.

...

The team hosted Idaho Falls 8-year-old Jackson Bezzant and his family Saturday. Bezzant has a condition that causes facial deformities (Treacher Collins syndrome). His father’s Facebook plea to help stop bullying went viral in September. Bezzant was part of the Bronco Walk, met with coach Bryan Harsin and will watch the game with his family from the stands.
