As expected, the Boise State Broncos had little trouble defeating the Portland State Vikings in their home opener on Saturday night. Spencer Danielson's team eventually finished with a 56-14 win, pushing them to a 2-1 record.Starting quarterback Maddux Madsen was pulled in the third quarter, along with most of the Broncos' other starters. That opened the door for heralded USC transfer quarterback Malachi Nelson to make his Broncos debut.
Third-string freshman Max Cutforth quarterback of Nampa also saw some playing time, completing two passes on two attempts for 13 yards. Star running back Ashton Jeanty also saw limited time, but still carried 11 times for 127 yards. Backup Dylan Riley and fullback Tyler Crowe, as well as Sire Gaines, got some additional work. Riley grabbed the first two touchdowns of his college carer along with Crowe picking up his first since 2021.
