Live updates, highlights and analysis as the Nittany Lions and Broncos meet in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals

And in the 2024 Fiesta Bowl taking place in Glendale, Arizona, we’ve got Penn State playing against Boise State — the Nittany Lions defeated SMU in the first round, while the Broncos got a bye in the first round. And if you’re here, you might be wondering: Who are those voices you’re hearing on the broadcast of the nationally televised game?

New Year's Eve kicks off the quarterfinal round of the College Football Playoff as No. 3 seed Boise State debuts against No. 6 seed Penn State. The Nittany Lions reach the quarterfinals fresh off crushing 11-seed SMU 38-10 in one of the top performances of the first round.

With a Heisman finalist running back and a new head coach, the Broncos reached the playoff, but there was a lot more that went on behind the scenes.

By now even your grandma, who only watches The Price is Right, Days of Our Lives and the local news, knows all about Ashton Jeanty. The Boise State running back is the top running back in college football and is a safe bet to be a Top 20 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

For Boise State, years of being the best program outside the power conference have finally culminated in a chance to play for the national title. Undefeated seasons in 2006 and 2009 ended with Fiesta Bowl wins but came before the four-team Playoff. This season is Boise’s 10th with 12 wins since 2002.
