BOISE, Idaho -- Boise State has a chance for a conference title and maybe even a big bowl game.
Brett Rypien threw for 310 yards and a touchdown, Alexander Mattison rushed for 200 yards and three scores, and the No. 21 Broncos beat No. 14 Utah State 33-24 on Saturday night.
Boise State (10-2, 7-1), which has won seven straight since losing to San Diego State on Oct. 6, will host Fresno State for the Mountain West championship next Saturday in a rematch from last season.
"When you get in these moments, you get more confidence and you know you're capable of doing it," Boise State coach Bryan Harsin said.
