Takeout

San Diego State: Despite a disappointing start to the season, the Aztecs still have a shot at making a bowl appearance.

Boise State: While Gianti was the unquestioned star of the team, the Broncos showed they’re not a one-trick pony on offense. Madsen, who led a 541-yard offense, looked comfortable in the pocket and used his legs to drive plays and pick up critical yards at key moments in the first half.
