Early in Friday’s game, Boise State senior quarterback Brett Rypien broke passing records. Later, he broke tackles.
Rypien broke the Mountain West records for career yards passing and completions in the first quarter, and used his legs — yes, really — to keep drives alive in the second half. He had 30 yards on eight carries, and minus a 3-yard sack, his 33 yards gained on the ground were the most in his career.
“He might’ve been holding that back,” junior running back Alexander Mattison said.
Better late than never, in this, Rypien’s 47th game at Boise State.
