Boise State 19, Air Force 14

With a bruising rushing attack and a crucial fourth-quarter defensive stand, the Broncos gutted out their third straight win to remain undefeated in the Mountain West Conference.


After a bye week, Boise State returns to action at 5 p.m. Saturday at Air Force hoping to maintain the momentum from convincing wins against San Diego State and Fresno State.

A victory for the Broncos — the only team without a conference loss in the Mountain West — would put them in the driver’s seat not only for a spot in the conference championship game, but for a chance to host it in Boise. If that’s not enough motivation, perhaps last year’s 24-17 defeat at the hands of the Falcons in Albertsons Stadium will be.

Beat writers Ron Counts (@Ron_BroncoBeat) and Rachel Roberts (@ByRachelRoberts) and newsroom assistant editor Jim Keyser will fill you in on all the action with live updates below.
