Saturday’s 47-44 loss in triple overtime will not be easy to accept for the Boise State football team and its fans.
The Broncos nearly knocked off No. 20 Washington State on the road, and did it with their backup quarterback leading the charge the final three quarters and into the extra session.
But four turnovers led to three Cougars touchdowns, enabling them to erase a 21-point deficit in a span of just 6 minutes, 16 seconds to force overtime. It was Washington State’s largest fourth-quarter comeback since 1984. Still, it’s becoming clear the Broncos have a tough defense, an inconsistent offense and a much-improved kicking game.
