Throughout the whole season, Boise State faced off against tough opponents such a defending champions Northwood University.
NACE Starleague broadcast the event on their Twitch page. The broadcast from that day has already garnered over a quarter of a million views. However, online viewers weren’t the only ones cheering on the Broncos. Several in-person visitors also attended, including the grandparents of player Johnathan “Clear” Foraker, who live in Redding, PA.
Boise State head coach Doc Haskell, who joined the team for the event, expressed tremendous excitement for the Broncos achievement at NACE, while also speaking highly of the quality of opponents the Broncos had to beat.
“The NACE championship is the pinnacle of collegiate competition,” said Haskell. “These schools have the same requirements and obligations that we do. We know that these players are like out players. And we were victorious.”
