The Boise State football team beat the triple option on Saturday the same way you beat its antithesis, the run-and-shoot: Outscore it.
The Broncos took advantage of the weapons they have in the pass game with senior quarterback Brett Rypien and his outstanding receivers, got a spark from an improved run game and spent most of the evening marching up and down the field at Falcon Stadium on their way to a 48-38 win at Air Force.
In two previous visits, the Broncos’ offense had sputtered and they had lost despite valiant defensive efforts: 28-14 in 2014 and 27-20 in 2016.
