Boise State Makes History, Winning Their First Outright Conference Title Since 1988

It’s not often when you get a chance to witness something that hasn’t happened in 34 years. The last time the Broncos were able to reach the pinnacle was during the height of the Bobby Dye era when they were a part of the Big Sky conference. However, that is what Boise State fans were treated to Tuesday night in a Mountain West showdown. Beyond the potential coronation, Leon Rice and company were looking to send Abu Kigab off into the sunset with a final win at ExtraMile Arena. Nevada had a chance to end a two-game losing streak and spoil the night for Boise State.
