  • A sports reporter talks Bronco Football. 
  • Wheelchair rugby rolls its way to Boise.
  • Infant oral health.

- Boise State Broncos Football season is underway, and there's a few themes beginning to emerge this year -- on and off the blue turf. We chat with veteran Broncos Football reporter Dave Southorn with The Athletic, formerly of the Idaho Statesman, about everything from the team's new "true freshman" quarterback to ticket sales and fan enthusiasm. 

  

-Each summer in Boise, a group of athletes gathers together for physical exercise, mental strategy, and camaraderie. They’re playing rugby…with wheelchairs. Idaho Matters will go behind the scenes with the Boise Bombers to learn more about the sport and the athletes who compete in it. 

 

- September is Baby Safety Month and one often overlooked topic is oral health for infants, especially before teeth come in. But studies have shown that certain measures can help improve dental health and even reduce the likelihood of braces in the future. Delta Dental joins Idaho Matters to discuss how to improve oral health.
