With 85 seconds to play Friday night, the entire Boise State football team congregated during a timeout.
Trailing 17-3 just 20 minutes earlier, the Broncos held a 24-17 lead over No. 16 Fresno State and had the Bulldogs facing a fourth-and-11 at the Boise State 29-yard line.
“We were just talking about heart ... someone was going to have to make a big-time play,” Boise State sophomore cornerback Avery Williams said.
Williams was the one who made that play, breaking up Marcus McMaryion’s pass inside the red zone to seal the win for Boise State over the Bulldogs.
