Boise State detoured on the way to play No. 2 Oregon because of inclement weather
The Broncos landed in Portland after repeated aborted attempts at Eugene and reached their hotel nearly 9 hours after leaving Boise, officials said.
- On Friday, the Boise State Broncos' charter flight to Eugene Airport was diverted to Portland due to inclement weather; Coach Spencer Danielson and his team subsequently traveled by bus to Eugene ahead of Saturday's game.
- Pilots aborted multiple landing attempts at Eugene Airport after encountering heavy rain, while the facility's longer runway closure for construction forced the diversion to Portland International Airport shortly after 3 p.m. local time on Friday.
- Labor Day Weekend traffic compounded the 120-mile bus trip from Portland to Eugene, keeping the team on the road for hours; Boise State did not reach its hotel until nearly 9 p.m. Friday, eight hours after departing Boise.
- The travel complications left the squad with limited turnaround time before Saturday's 12:30 p.m. PT kickoff against the Oregon Ducks at Autzen Stadium, where Boise State faces the team as 24.5-point underdogs.
- While Friday's storms disrupted travel, the National Weather Service forecasts "patchy fog" for Saturday, and both Boise State and the Oregon Ducks are making their 2026 season debuts with neither team having played in week 0.
