Broncos Clinch Spot in MW Championship Game, Will Host on Dec. 6

LARAMIE, Wyo. - No. 12 Boise State finished its 2024 Mountain West slate with an undefeated record after defeating Wyoming, 17-13, Saturday at War Memorial Stadium.

The win earns the Broncos (10-1, 7-0 MW) a spot in the 2024 Old Trapper MW Football Championship. The game will take place at 6 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 6, with Boise State hosting on The Blue at Albertsons Stadium. It marks the fourth time Boise State has finished with an undefeated conference record over the past six seasons. 

Ashton Jeanty powered the Broncos offensively, finishing with 169 yards and a rushing touchdown. The HEI2MAN-candidate became the first Bronco in program history to surpass 2,000 rushing yards in a season, and is the first FBS player to do so since 2019 when four players achieved the feat.

The junior running back's 61-yard touchdown run in the opening quarter gave Boise State a 7-3 advantage with 3:40 remaining. The Cowboys (2-9, 2-5 MW) answered midway through the second quarter with a 4-play, 67-yard touchdown drive. Jonah Dalmas evened the score with a 24-yard field goal as the two teams entered intermission knotted at 10.

Following a scoreless third quarter, Wyoming took the lead on a 35-yard kick with a little over nine minutes to go. But Boise State didn't back down.

On the ensuing drive, Jeanty recorded four rushes for 53 yards of offense, setting up Jambres Dubar for a 2-yard touchdown rush to give Boise State the lead with 5:02 remaining on the clock. Wyoming looked to be driving after picking up two first downs on its next drive, but Ahmed Hassanein recorded a sack on fourth down to stifle the Cowboy drive. Wyoming would get the ball back with 14 seconds left, but three-straight incompletions secured the victory for the Broncos.

Top Broncos
- Ashton Jeanty became the program's first 2,000 yard rusher, rushing for 169 yards and a touchdown to finish with 2,062 yards on the year.
- Cameron Camper caught five passes for 73 yards.
- Latrell Caples added three catches for 51 yards.
- Zion Washington led the team with nine tackles. The redshirt junior also forced a fumble in the opening period.

Notables

- The Broncos finish the conference season with an undefeated record for the fourth time over the last six seasons.
- Boise State secured its 10th win of the season, the Broncos' 19th 10-win season since joining the FBS in 1996. This ties Alabama and Oklahoma for the second-most 10-win seasons in that span. Ohio State leads this category with 22 after winning its 10th game today.
- Ashton Jeanty became the first Bronco to reach 2,000 rushing yards on the season. He is the first FBS player to rush for 2,000 yards since 2019 when four players did so (Chuba Hubbard, Malcolm Perry, J.K. Dobbins and Jonathan Taylor).
- Jeanty's 61-yard touchdown rush in the first quarter was his seventh 60+ yard touchdown rush on the season.
- The Heisman-candidate moved into second place in program history with 4,230 career rushing yards, passing Ian Johnson (2005-08), who rushed for 4,183 yards.
