When the Broncos run the ball ...
Boise State took a step forward last week with a 118-yard showing from sophomore running back Alexander Mattison. Still, the Broncos rank 102nd in the FBS with 125.2 yards rushing per game.
“It was nice getting the run game going, you could definitely tell the physicality was there,” Boise State offensive coordinator Zak Hill said. “Moving forward, they know they can do it and there are things to build on.”
The Aztecs are allowing 126 yards per game on the ground, tied for 35th nationally. Other than Stanford, with potential Heisman candidate Bryce Love, no team has averaged more than 3.
