Boise State survived Halloween night. The No. 20 Broncos beat Texas State 46-45 on after taking a 28-3 lead into halftime and holding the Bobcats to 117 yards in the first half.

Then it flipped. Texas State scored 22 points in the third quarter, and a 44-yard touchdown pass from Brad Jackson gave the Bobcats a 32-28 lead. Boise State threw a pick-six and lost its starting quarterback, but backup Max Cutforth threw three touchdown passes down the stretch to win it. The Broncos play at Colorado State at 4 p.m. Sat., Nov. 7.

  • Texas State rushing: 102 yards on 24 carries
  • Jackson: 327 passing yards and four touchdown passes
  • Rasean Jones: nine catches, 117 yards, three touchdowns
  • Boise State's 300th FBS win; all-time record 300-92

Backup Max Cutforth rallies Boise State after Maddux Madsen leaves with a knee injury

Starting quarterback Maddux Madsen left Saturday's game with about eight minutes to play and the Broncos trailing 39-28. He left with an ice pack around his left knee and watched the rest from the sideline on crutches. Coach Spencer Danielson said he "doesn't know" yet how serious it is.

Boise State unveils an 11-foot bronze statue of Kellen Moore at halftime

Kellen Moore came home, and he called it a "really cool honor". Boise State unveiled an 11-foot bronze statue of the New Orleans Saints head coach Saturday at halftime, showing his signature left-handed passing pose. He's the first Boise State player with a statue at Albertsons Stadium.

Sculptor Ben Victor spent about six months shaping Moore in clay, and fan feedback led him to switch to an older helmet. The statue will sit at the northeast corner of the stadium, near the North End Zone.

“It's a really cool honor, and I think hopefully it just kind of is a representation for an era of Boise State football that was really fun, really special.”

  • Permanent home: outside the Bleymaier Football Center
  • Sculptor Ben Victor also made the Lyle Smith statue
  • New this summer: orange hash mark at the 11-yard line
  • Moore raised Chaos flag before kickoff

The statue honors a career that included a perfect season

  2. 2010Moore became Boise State's first Heisman finalist.

This evening at 6:25, a group of 6-7 young men - probably middle school or even early high school - rang for trick-or-treat.

“They were dressed as knights or some medieval characters and the rain had just begun here. They were quiet, kind and very respectful and I regret not having taken a photo, so that some of the parents might recognize their kids. Those parents would and should be very proud.

The Wrap

Winter gear gets a second life today at the 75th Annual Ski Swap, a seasonal sale of new and used skis, snowboards, boots, clothing and other winter gear at The Stadium at Expo Idaho in Garden City. It runs 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. today, and we'd say it's a smart way to gear up for the slopes. Happy hunting.
