Alright, so the other day I got this itch, you know? The college football season was getting closer, or maybe it was already underway, I forget exactly when this was back in 2023. But I really wanted to get a handle on the Boise State Broncos lineup.
You know how it is, you wanna see who’s starting, who’s backing up, especially at those key spots. Quarterback, running back, who’s anchoring the line? That kind of stuff. So, I decided I needed to track down the Boise State football depth chart for 2023.
My first move, pretty standard stuff, I just popped open my laptop and typed something like “boise state football depth chart 2023” into the search bar. Simple enough, right?
Well, it brought back a bunch of stuff. News articles talking about position battles, some fan forums debating who should start, even some older charts from previous seasons or spring ball. Not quite what I needed. I wanted something more concrete, closer to the real deal for the actual season.
Digging a Little Deeper
So, I thought, okay, let’s try the official source. I went looking for the Boise State athletics website. Navigated my way over to the football section. Sometimes they post it right there, maybe under “Roster” or “News” or sometimes they bury it in game notes before a matchup.
I spent a bit clicking around there. Found the roster, sure, but the actual depth chart? It wasn’t immediately obvious. Maybe they hadn’t released an official one publicly yet, or maybe I just wasn’t looking in the right corner of the site. It happens.
Next, I tried thinking like the media guys. Where do they get the info? Often it comes out in press conferences or specific releases. So I searched again, adding terms like “official” or looking for reports from the beat writers who cover the team day in and day out. Those folks usually have the inside scoop.
- Checked major sports news outlets.
- Looked for blogs or sites specifically dedicated to Boise State sports.
- Scanned social media for posts from reporters covering the team.
This approach started yielding better results. I found articles discussing the two-deep, quoting coaches, and giving a clearer picture. Sometimes, a reporter would basically lay out the expected depth chart based on practice observations and coach comments, even if a formal document wasn’t posted for fans everywhere.
Putting the Pieces Together
Eventually, by piecing together info from the official site (like the roster itself), news reports, and especially the insights from local beat writers, I got a pretty solid idea of the 2023 depth chart. It wasn’t always a single, neat PDF file like you sometimes find, but more like assembling a puzzle.
Key takeaway for me? Finding an official, easy-to-read depth chart isn’t always a one-click deal. Sometimes you gotta dig a bit, check multiple sources, and rely on the folks who cover the team closely. But hey, that’s part of the fun of being a fan, right? Doing a little homework to get ready for game day.
