The Mountain West Conference Championship Game is set to be an epic showdown between two of the conference’s top teams, Boise State and UNLV. On Saturday, December 7th, these two teams will face off in a battle to determine who will be crowned the 2019 Mountain West Champion.
Boise State has been one of the most successful teams in the conference over the past few years, winning the Mountain West title in 2014 and 2016. This year, they have been led by their star quarterback Brett Rypien, who has thrown for 3,705 yards and 25 touchdowns this season. The Broncos also have a strong defense that has allowed just 18.7 points per game, which is the second-best mark in the conference.
UNLV, on the other hand, has had a bit of a roller coaster season. They started off strong with a 4-1 record, but then dropped four of their next five games. However, they have bounced back in recent weeks and have won their last three games to secure a spot in the championship game. The Rebels have been led by their offense, which is averaging 32.9 points per game, which is third-best in the conference.
This game promises to be an exciting matchup between two of the best teams in the Mountain West. Boise State will look to use their strong defense to slow down UNLV’s high-powered offense, while UNLV will look to use their offensive firepower to outscore the Broncos. It should be an entertaining game and one that will decide who will be crowned the 2019 Mountain West Champion.
