Jeff Hawkins, Oregon’s director of football operations, said that Oregon athletic director Pat Kilkenny made the invitation to Boise State athletic director Gene Bleymaier last spring.
Boise State is considering the invitation.
“It would be a great experience for our kids and for the program,” Bleymaier said Tuesday. “That’s why we are going to look into it and see if there’s a way to make it happen.”
