Boise State squanders 17-point lead, loses at Memphis 35-32
Something’s not right at Boise State.
The Mountain West powerhouse led by three possessions on a humid Saturday afternoon against a fellow G5 institution.
I was fortunate enough to attend this game live, but I can tell you one thing.
No Bronco fan that I was around was declaring the game over in the 2nd quarter.
Rather, it was “Hope we can hold on” and “Don’t know how long the defense can keep this up”.
It was sad.
And yet, these comments full of pessimism and gloom were proven right when the clock hit triple zeroes.
