Boise State v Fresno State
Posted: Sat Nov 10, 2018 6:00 am
On a cold Friday night, not as cold as a mothers-in-law kiss because nothing is that cold, Boise beat Fresno State, a school that has never won on the Celestial Blue Turf. Boise dominated the first quarter, Fresno the second and heading into the locker room, had a 10-3 lead. The second half belonged to Boise along with a 24-17 victory. Rypien was what he always is, calm and accurate, a running back, Mattison got 144 yards, all very productive.
Stands were half full, freezing temperatures versus warm front rooms not much of a decision. Officiating was so mediocre, not to one's particular advantage, but just in general. Boise got a first down with 18 seconds left that clearly was not when the chains came out, Fresno a touchdown where the player went out of bounds and back in to catch a touchdown pass (explanation was he was pushed which makes it okay...replay saw no push. Fresno as a completion overturned because the player did not have total control before the fumble. That took five minutes and should have been good.
The win by Boise will ensure the irrelevancy of the Mountain West.
