Boise State forced three turnovers on defense and completely shut down one of the best offenses in the country in a dominating 40-14 upset win at No. 23 Fresno State.
The Idaho Press reports, the win was Boise State’s second over a ranked team this season. Two weeks ago, the Broncos were 3-4 and looking at their worst season in two-plus decades. Now they’ve got two road wins in a span of eight days and a new outlook with three games to go.
And they did it Saturday in rather stunning fashion, leading from wire to wire and sending many of the sellout crowd of 41,031 to the exits by early in the fourth quarter.
The Broncos still face an uphill climb to win the Mountain Division, but the path at least appears a little bit more attainable now. Boise State must win each of its final three games — home games against Wyoming and New Mexico and a road game at San Diego State — and hope Utah State loses at least one of its final three games.
