After winning last year's Mountain West Championship, Boise State will look to repeat in what is expected to be a very competitive game against UNLV.
The Broncos boast Heisman Trophy candidate Ashton Zity, who has 2,288 rushing yards this season.
UNLV has allowed the 14th fewest rushing yards per game this year (104.4), so it should be a pretty good fit for Boise State's all-world running back.
UNLV's 3.4 yards per carry (YPC) allowed is also among the best in the nation.
Earlier this season, when Boise State defeated UNLV 29-24, Giunty averaged just 3.9 YPC, his lowest YPC average in any game this season.
The Running Rebels will look to continue similar success in the area of rush defense Friday night.

UNLV vs. Boise State Predictions
Rebels receiver Ricky White III is also a strong offensive playmaker, having exceeded 100 receiving yards in four of his last six games.
In the last game against the Broncos, he had five catches for 57 yards.
UNLV beat Boise State in most of their meetings that October, thanks in large part to a missed field goal in the second quarter. The Broncos' kicker instead went 3-for-3.
The Rebels defense is significantly better than the Broncos defense, which is the X-factor of this game.
Pro Football Focus rates the Rebels' defense as one of the top groups in college football.
UNLV's 4.9 yards per play ranks 19th in the country, while the Broncos' 5.4 yards per play ranks 60th among FBS schools.
Do you bet on college football?
Giunty is great, but UNLV is much more balanced and I expect White to be big in prime time games.
The Broncos are allowing 269.9 passing yards per game, the ninth-worst mark in the FBS, and their 7.9 yards per pass attempt still ranks in the bottom half (98th out of 134). There is.
Pick: UNLV Moneyline (+155, FanDuel) | Ricky White III 79.5+ Receiving Yards (-110, ESPN BET) | 150+ Receiving Yards (+850, BET 365))
