Good Morning, Boise State 9/29: Madsen Has an App For That

Boise State football utilized a complete team effort to dominate App State, 47-14, to win its third consecutive game of the season on Saturday.

Good Morning, Bronco Nation! Boise State football utilized a complete team effort to dominate App State, 47-14, to win its third consecutive game of the season on Saturday.

The Broncos (3-1, 1-0 Mountain West) generated 473 yards of offense and held the Mountaineers (2-2, 0-1 SBC) to 184 yards on the night. Boise State forced four turnovers in the victory, including two interception returns for touchdowns, a feat the program hadn't accomplished since a Sept. 25, 2015, win over Virginia.

Quarterback Maddux Madsen was spectacular in the win, throwing for a career-high 321 yards and matching his career-high with four touchdown strikes. The redshirt junior completed 25 of his 37 attempts and threw to 10 different receivers for the second time this season.
