After a week of much anticipation, the Fresno State Bulldogs finally faced their long-time rival Boise State Broncos for the Mountain West Conference Championship.
Fresno State emerged victorious during a snowy, wet Saturday night in Boise, Idaho, defeating the Broncos 19-16 and becoming the Mountain West Conference Champions for the first time since 2013.
The game started with Fresno State on the defensive side, stopping Boise State’s run and pushing for a fourth down.
