To begin the remainder of the Boise State season after that unfortunate outcome in Florida, the Broncos took the field in front of a nearly full stadium for the first time in almost two years.
Despite the long layoff in front of a full crowd, the hometown team did not disappoint.

The opening drive did little to quell fans’ nerves regarding questions about the defense as UTEP was able to slice and dice themselves a decent opening drive. The Broncos were eventually able to slow the Miners somewhat and they had to settle for a field goal.
