Good Morning, Bronco Nation! A legendary performance from running back Dylan Riley led Boise State past Air Force, 49-37, Saturday night.
The sophomore found the end zone five times in the victory, rushing for four scores and catching another. Riley totaled a career-high 255 all-purpose yards, notching 171 rushing yards and 84 receiving yards. Riley was the highlight of a successful O-line assault, with the Broncos (2-1, 1-0 Mountain West) totaling 592 yards of total offense.
Maddux Madsen was also stellar in the win, brushing off an early first-quarter injury to throw for 276 yards and two touchdowns.
