Boise State star running back Sire Gaines is questionable to play Saturday night against Texas State, the Broncos announced in Wednesday’s initial player availability report.

Gaines was wearing a walking boot on his left leg following last week’s 31-10 Pac-12 road victory over the Cougars (1-7, 0-4). The 20th-ranked Broncos (6-1, 3-0) will host Texas State (4-3, 2-1) at 8 p.m. Mountain time on Saturday.

Wide receiver Ben Ford and tight end Austin Terry are also questionable for Saturday. Starting left guard Carson Rasmussen will miss his fourth straight game.

The 6-foot, 220-pound Gaines has 75 carries for 418 yards and five total touchdowns this season. The third-year sophomore had a strong performance against the Cougars with 10 carries for 64 yards and a touchdown while catching three passes for 19 yards.
