When the Broncos run the ball ...
Boise State has found it can be most successful with a ball-control, run-centric approach. The Broncos rushed for a season-best 186 yards last Saturday at San Diego State, and have 344 of their 812 rushing yards this season the last two weeks.
The Cowboys have allowed 175.7 yards per game rushing (84th nationally), giving up at least 131 yards in every game, including 307 against Oregon on Sept. 16. Wyoming has forced 13 fumbles and recovered eight.
“They play solid defense. We’re going to have to be the same offense we’ve proven ourselves to be, fast and physical, with a downhill run game,” Boise State sophomore running back Alexander Mattison said.
