Broncos take down Cougars 26-17

Boise State’s defense had four takeaways and the offense did enough for the Broncos to upset No. 10 BYU, 26-17, on Saturday afternoon at LaVell Edwards Stadium.

The Idaho Press reports, the win was Boise State’s first against a top 10 team on the road since the famous win over No. 8 Fresno State way back in 2001. That was also the last time the Broncos were unranked and beat a top 10 team.

Cyrus Habibi-Likio had 18 rushes for 75 yards and a touchdown, while Andrew Van Buren had 18 rushes for 60 yards and a touchdown.

It’s Boise State’s first win over an AP Top 10 team since the Broncos beat No. 10 Virginia Tech 33-30 in 2010.

The Broncos (3-3) return home to host Air Force next week. Kickoff is scheduled for 7pm, Saturday on 670 KBOI.
