As Ashton Jeanty ran in his third score of the day to put Boise State up by 20 with six minutes to play, all hope appeared to be lost. The Rams offense had shown little life so far, and while the defense had forced three turnovers and slowed Jeanty down in the second half, it wasn’t going to be enough for the programs first win against the Broncos.
Somehow, some way, in the rain of the Fort Collins night, the Rams refused to go away.
A quick touchdown drive, Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi’s best of the night, would cut the lead to 13 with four minutes to go.
