Boise State edges BYU, 28-27

Tom Foster of Provo watches players warmup before an NCAA football game between Boise State and Brigham Young in Boise on Thursday, Oct. 20, 2016.

BOISE — BYU running back Jamaal Williams was sidelined with an ankle injury and the Cougar defense gave up a slew of big plays.

No. 14 Boise State, meanwhile, countered by surrendering five turnovers. But BYU couldn’t fully capitalize.

In the end, the Broncos blocked a 44-yard field goal attempt with 10 seconds remaining and held on to edge the Cougars, 28-27, before a crowd of 34,575 at Albertsons Stadium Thursday night.
