Riley’s 198 Yards Rushing and 2 Late TDs Help Push Boise State Past South Dakota 38-24
Riley scored twice in the fourth quarter as Boise State avoided a loss that would have damaged its College Football Playoff chances.
On Saturday, running back Dylan Riley rushed for 198 yards and scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns as Boise State defeated South Dakota 38-24 at Albertsons Stadium.
The Broncos avoided a damaging loss in this FCS-versus-FBS matchup; a defeat would have significantly hurt their College Football Playoff positioning.
Quarterback Maddux Madsen completed 22 of 31 passes for 208 yards with two touchdowns as Boise State accumulated 533 total yards. Late tension arose when Cam Bates muffed a punt with under five minutes remaining.
"I'm going to go back to the drawing board," said Boise State coach Spencer Danielson, noting the team has "things we have to get fixed" before Monday's preparation.
Next Saturday, South Dakota travels to Youngstown State while the Broncos face Western Michigan on the road, continuing their nonconference schedules.
