Boise State shot out of the gate like a lead balloon, going 3 and out before allowing Fresno to take over and Fresno was moving with relative ease on their first drive of the game before facing a 4th and (long) 1 and deciding to roll the dice. JL Skinner doesn’t play dice. Skinner came up and sniffed out the swing pass and the Broncos were back in action with the turnover on downs.
On the ensuing series, the Bronco offense welcomed George Holani back into the fold as he opened things up with a 30 yard reception before being tripped by the turf.
