The Broncos, led by a raucous home crowd, fended off a furious run by Oregon to pick up a huge win Saturday night.
Coach Leon Rice told the media early in the week that he wanted Taco Bell Arena to be packed and loud Saturday night, and the fans did not disappoint.
The Broncos held off the 24th ranked Oregon Ducks Saturday while preventing what could have been a massive collapse. For the second consecutive game, Boise State won on the final possession. Dillon Brooks (who led the Ducks with 26) was unable to finish a drive that would have tied the game at 74 apiece.
