The Boise State Broncos displayed resilience throughout the game, despite falling short on the scoreboard. The home team's offense accumulated a total of 337 yards, with 259 coming through the air and 78 on the ground.

A notable highlight was a long pass completion of 39 yards that energized the crowd.
The rushing side contributed with one touchdown from an impressive run that broke through for an eleven-yard score. However, they struggled to consistently break through the Falcons' defense, averaging just over three yards per carry across their attempts.
Penalties played a significant role in this encounter as well; Boise State accrued eight penalties totaling seventy-five yards. These infractions hindered momentum at crucial junctures during play.
Special teams had moments of success as well; notably, Boise State's kicker remained perfect on field goal attempts nailing his only try from thirty-seven yards out and successfully converting both extra point kicks.
Defensively, Boise State managed two sacks and applied pressure resulting in two quarterback hits but failed to generate any turnovers which could have shifted momentum in their favor.
On returns, kickoffs provided some spark with seventy-seven return yards over three attempts – including one that went for thirty-two yards – setting up advantageous field position for subsequent drives.
