Live updates: Holani has big game, Boise State defense handles UT Martin in 30-7 win
After splitting their opening two games on the road, the Broncos finally got to perform in front of their fans Saturday afternoon. Boise State (1-1) scored 13 straight points in the second quarter to take a 20-7 lead into halftime against FCS school UT Martin, and posted a 30-7 victory after a lackluster second half.
QB Hank Bachmeier left the game in the fourth quarter after going down awkwardly on a sack (a roughing-the-passer penalty was called). Taylen Green came in to cheers and then finished the final few minutes of the win. Bachmeier was on the field after the game with all of the other players and was walking fine.
