The Broncos will look to bounce back after a tough loss to the New Mexico Lobos last week, and will need to win out and have New Mexico lose one of their final two games to win the division. Boise State holds a slight 2-1 advantage in the series and looks to avenge last year’s 28-14 loss. Robinette’s 210 yards were the most since 1978 and the third-most in a single game in school history. Until freshman quarterback Brett Rypien’s 34-yard touchdown pass to junior wide receiver Thomas Sperbeck with 53 seconds remaining in the third, the Broncos had six straight scoreless drives, the first ending in a blocked field goal attempt while still leading 13-10.
