When the Broncos run the ball
Boise State will keep trying, but big plays have been rare running the ball. Minus UConn’s porous defense, the Broncos have had one run of more than 20 yards by a running back in their last 221 carries. Receivers have been edge threats, so keep an eye on that.
It won’t get easier this week — Air Force is No. 13 nationally in rush defense (106.6 yards per game). The most the Falcons have yielded in a single game is 177 yards. They’ve held Navy, FAU and UNLV, all in the top 25 nationally in rushing, to 322 yards combined.
