🔼 Statement In Kalamazoo. Boise State closed the nonconference slate with a hammer, running Western Michigan out of its own building 32-7 and coming within 63 seconds of a shutout. The Broncos piled up 377 yards while the defense suffocated the Broncos of the MAC, holding them to 2-of-14 on third down and turning away all three fourth-down tries. Maddux Madsen threw three touchdowns without a pick, two of them to Matt Wagner, and Dylan Riley churned out 138 yards on the ground. Pac-12 play opens Saturday against Utah State.
📝 Taking Note:
Boise State has won 11 consecutive games against MAC opponents, with its last loss to one coming in 1997.
The Broncos are a perfect nine-for-nine on fourth-down stops this season.
Wagner's seven catches, 94 yards, and two touchdowns were all career highs for the senior.
Madsen moved into sixth place in program history with 59 career touchdown passes.
Riley ran for 103 yards in the first half alone, his third straight game clearing 100 before the break.
Seven points is the fewest Boise State has allowed a nonconference opponent on the road since holding BYU to seven in 2017.
Roman Tillmon picked off his first career pass and tied for the team lead with six tackles.
The three-game winning streak marks the 28th consecutive season Boise State has put one together, second-best in the nation.
🔼 Thirty-Six Seconds. Campbell Wilson wasted no time Friday night, scoring 36 seconds in, marking the fourth-fastest goal to open a match in Boise State history, and adding another in the 20th minute as the Broncos blanked Northern Colorado 3-0. Asia Lawyer made it three in the 64th off a Dalen Lau assist. Ava de Leest notched her sixth shutout of the season, setting the program record for a nonconference season and giving Boise State the most in the Pac-12. The Broncos close nonconference play at 8-1-1 with six straight wins, the longest active streak in the conference.

🔼 Home Hardware. Izan Orgiles and Julius Seifert took the Blue Draw title at the Dar Walters Fall Classic, knocking off Montana 2-1 to give Boise State men’s tennis its first championship at the event since 2019. The pair opened by blanking Matt Upton and Darrshan Suresh Kumar 6-0 in doubles, and Orgiles sealed it with a straight-sets singles win over Upton. Orgiles finished the weekend a perfect 4-0 in singles play.
