Weird game. I saw Boise State was up 21-0 early in the second, and I stopped paying attention for the most part. So did Boise State, apparently. Their last seven drives: three-and-out, three-and-out, touchdown, three-and-out, three-and-out, three-and-out, three-and-out. The Broncos had zero successful plays in the fourth quarter, but since Fresno State couldn't finish drives -- in five scoring opportunities, the Bulldogs scored twice, turned the ball over on downs once, missed a field goal, and threw an interception -- it didn't matter.
