Game Highlights


The Boise State defense was nothing short of spectacular, racking up eight sacks and ten tackles for loss, which contributed significantly to keeping the Rainbow Warriors at bay. Seyi Oladipo led this defensive masterclass with two sacks and two tackles for loss, showcasing his ability to disrupt the opposing offense effectively. Jayden Virgin-Morgan also made his presence felt by contributing 2.5 sacks and adding four quarterback hits, further stifling Hawai'i's offensive efforts.


On offense, Ashton Jeanty stood out with an impressive performance on the ground. Rushing for 217 yards on 31 attempts and scoring one touchdown highlighted his pivotal role in Boise State's game plan. His longest run of 54 yards not only set up a touchdown but also demonstrated his explosive potential every time he touched the ball.


Quarterback Maddux Madsen managed an efficient passing game, completing 17 out of 25 attempts for a total of 217 yards and two touchdowns. His connection with Austin Bolt on a long touchdown pass was one of the key moments that swung momentum firmly in favor of Boise State.


Special Teams Contributions


Special teams also played a crucial role in this victory. Jonah Dalmas was perfect on field goals, converting both attempts from within the 29-yard line which helped extend Boise State's lead during critical moments of the match.


Punter Taren Schive ensured that Hawai'i would have difficult field positions throughout the game by pinning them inside their own 20-yard line twice out of his two punting attempts.

The Boise State Broncos will next face off against UNLV Rebels at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on October 25th at 10:30 PM EDT. Fans can catch all the action live on CBS Sports Network as both teams vie for supremacy in what promises to be an exciting contest.
