Game Recap

The game between them on Saturday was not particularly close, with Air Force falling 49-30. They haven't found any success against Boise State since Nov. 25 of 2016, this defeat making it four in a row.
QB Jack Sears hadn't helped the Broncos' cause all that much against the Utah State Aggies last week, but the same can't be said for this matchup. Sears had a stellar game for Boise State as he passed for three TDs and 280 yards on 20 attempts in addition to rushing for one TD and 36 yards. Sears' 75-yard touchdown toss to WR CT Thomas in the first quarter made for one of the most memorable moments of the evening.
