BOISE, Idaho – The No. 11 Boise State Broncos capped off the 2024 regular season with their 10th-straight win after defeating Oregon State, 34-18, on Friday at Albertsons Stadium.

Ashton Jeanty rushed for 226 yards and one touchdown to lead the Broncos offensively, carrying the ball a career-high 37 times. The HEI2MAN candidate moved his all-purpose yards total to 2,390, passing Jay Ajayi (2014) for the most in a single season in Boise State history.

Boise State (11-1, 7-0 Mountain West) totaled 465 yards of offense, including 232 total yards by quarterback Maddux Madsen. The redshirt sophomore added three total touchdowns, including one on the ground to seal the game.

The Broncos opened the scoring when Madsen connected with Austin Bolt for an 11-yard touchdown, capping a 81-yard drive that spanned 7:04 - the longest scoring drive of the season in terms of time. After forcing a three-and-out, Boise State struck again late in the first when Jeanty barrelled his way for a seven-yard score.

Boise State's defense limited the Beavers (5-7) to 13 total yards and zero first downs in the first quarter, but Oregon State cracked the scoreboard late in the second when Anthony Hankerson broke free for an 83-yard rushing touchdown. Boise State responded with an eight-play, 75-yard scoring drive to close out the first half and was capped by a six-yard Latrell Caples receiving touchdown to move the lead to 21-7 going into halftime.

The teams traded field goals in the third quarter, with fifth year Jonah Dalmas connecting twice for the Blue and Orange. His second was set up by a 60-yard rush from Jeanty, the running back's ninth 60-yard run of the year.

Oregon State cut the lead to nine with 11:51 remaining in the fourth after Ben Gulbranson connected with Darrius Clemons for an 11-yard touchdown pass, and again for a two-point conversion. Following a second-consecutive fourth down stop, Madsen punched in a three-yard rushing touchdown with 58 seconds left in the game, securing the 11th-straight home win.
