Boise State closed out their regular season with a non-conference home game against Oregon State, their future Pac-12 rival, in a bid to secure a first-round College Football Playoff bye. Led by Heisman Trophy candidate Ashton Jeanty, Boise State was a heavy 18.5-point favorite over the Beavers. The sold-out crowd of 37,264 at Albertsons Stadium witnessed a dominant performance from the Broncos, who ultimately won their 10th straight game.
As the game unfolded, Boise State took an early lead with an 11-yard touchdown pass from Maddux Madsen to Austin Bolt. Jeanty had a productive game, rushing for over 100 yards and a touchdown despite a fumble that momentarily shifted momentum. The Broncos’ defense also shined, holding Oregon State to just 160 total yards. Despite a strong 83-yard touchdown run by Anthony Hankerson for the Beavers, Boise State maintained control and emerged with a 24-10 victory.
With this win, Boise State wrapped up their regular season on a high note as they await their postseason fate. Head coach Jeramiah Dickey expressed gratitude for the support of Bronco Nation and acknowledged the challenges faced in ensuring a smooth game day experience. As they look ahead to potential playoff opportunities, Boise State fans can celebrate a successful season and anticipate more exciting matchups in the future.
