SAN DIEGO – Boise State suffered its second consecutive loss on Saturday night, losing to San Diego State, 17-7, at Snapdragon Stadium.Â
With the victory, the Aztecs (8-2, 5-1 Mountain West) claim sole possession of first place in the league standings. The Broncos (6-4, 4-2 MW) drop to a tie for second place with two games remaining on the schedule. The conference championship game will take place on Dec. 5.Â
The game primarily played out on the ground, with both teams attempting over 40 rushes. San Diego State managed 277 yards on the ground, while Boise State finished with 164. The Broncos won the attack in the air, recording 104 passing yards to the Aztecs' 17.
San Diego State put points on the scoreboard first, finding the end zone a little over a minute into the second frame. The Broncos responded on the ensuing kickoff, putting together a 15-play, 75-yard drive culminating with a Dylan Riley touchdown from nine yards out to even the score at seven.Â
The Aztecs scored their second touchdown of the night inside the final two minutes of the half to take a 14-7 advantage at intermission.
Neither team was able to score in the third quarter, but San Diego State made it a two-possession game with 10:51 left in the contest with a 47-yard field goal.
The Broncos made a late push in the fourth quarter, but failed to convert a field goal under the two-minute timeout.
