True Freshman Quarterback Hank Bachmeier

BOISE — Boise State football coach Bryan Harsin danced around the answer everybody was looking for the first three times the question was asked.

Finally, on the fourth, he made it official.

Harsin eventually announced after Saturday’s open practice that true freshman Hank Bachmeier will start at quarterback for the Broncos when they open the season next Saturday against Florida State in Jacksonville.

“We’ll go into Florida State with Hank,” Harsin said. “I feel really good about Hank.”

Bachmeier will be just the second true freshman to start a game at quarterback for the Broncos since they moved to FBS status in 1996. The other? The man he is replacing, Brett Rypien.
