Well, it was everything Boise State fans could hope for — a win over a ranked team, the battle everyone expected, and the home team came out on top.
The Broncos’ 24-17 win over AP No. 16 Fresno State on Friday night at Albertsons Stadium was typical of this season’s team, some truly impressive stretches mixed with some aggravating ones. Luckily for Boise State, the good came during a dominating final 25 minutes.
Boise State scored the final 21 points, then made a stand on Fresno State’s final possession inside the Broncos’ 30-yard line.
“We have done that a little bit this year, but not much, not the way we did tonight,” Boise State coach Bryan Harsin said.
