When the Broncos run the ball ...
It is not a coincidence the Broncos have won four straight and averaged 168.3 rushing yards per game. That has enabled the offense to find balance and control the ball (no turnovers in the last 237:56). Sophomore Alexander Mattison has 447 yards in that span.
“Alex has really turned it up through the season,” Boise State offensive coordinator Zak Hill said. “... He’s developed into a real consistent back for us. (We’re) feeling like we can lean on him in those situations where we know we need to run the football, especially late in the game.
