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.
Running back Dylan Riley rushed for 198 yards and scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns Saturday as Boise State defeated South Dakota 38-24 at Albertsons Stadium.
The Broncos avoided a potential upset in this FCS-versus-FBS matchup, as a loss would have significantly damaged their College Football Playoff chances.
Quarterback Maddux Madsen completed 22 of 31 passes for 208 yards with two touchdowns, while Boise State accumulated 533 total yards despite a muffed punt by Cam Bates late in the game.
"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 their next game.
Next Saturday, the Broncos travel to Western Michigan while South Dakota faces Youngstown State, with both teams continuing their nonconference schedules.
