Inauspicious is a word I’d use to describe the start of this one for the Broncos. Utah State elected to receive the kickoff and marched right down the field for a quick score. How did Boise State answer? With a holding penalty, a ball that hit a tight end right in the hands, and, of course, a punt. Thankfully, the Aggies didn’t go much of anywhere on their ensuing drive...and I say thankfully because neither did we. The Aggies looked to be in business on their 3rd offensive series, however, but Kekaula Kaniho put an end to that with a timely pick and the Broncos picked up their FIRST first down of the evening with their new offensive life, and Alexander Mattison punched it in after running the ball down to the 2 and just like that, this one was 7-7.
