Alexander Mattison | Football | So. | San Bernardino, Calif.
Mattison's career and record-setting night played a major role in the team's 59-52 overtime comeback. The San Bernardino, Calif., native ran for 242 yards and three touchdowns, both career highs, while his rushing yardage was the third-highest single-game total in Boise State history. His 286 yards from scrimmage, which included 44 yards over three receptions, set the program single-game record, eclipsing Thomas Sperbeck's 281 yards against New Mexico on Nov. 14, 2015. Mattison helped spark the Bronco comeback with a pair of touchdowns on either side of halftime Saturday. First, he reversed field to score on a 26-yard run just over a minute before halftime, then broke free for a career-long 70-yard touchdown run on the second play of the third quarter to bring the Broncos to with 35-24. In overtime, Mattison scored his third touchdown, this one from four yards out, which would stand as the game-winner after the Bronco defense forced and recovered a fumble on Colorado State's do-or-die possession. For his efforts, Mattison won Mountain West Offensive Player of the Week.

Alex Hobbs scored a career-high 21 points in Friday night's season-opening 104-65 win over Eastern Oregon and was a perfect 9-for-9 from the field in 25 minutes of play.
