Pac-12 teams begin to separate from each other.
Broncos, Beavers exert dominance over the rest of the league. Utah State wins conference game.
The Pac-12 conference is seeing the formation of two dominant teams: Boise State and Oregon State. Boise State recently defeated Fresno State 17-16 at Valley Children's Stadium in Fresno, while Oregon State handed a crushing 66-14 defeat to San Diego State in their previous game. Utah State, who have lost three straight games, suffered a 17-16 loss to Boise State in Logan, Utah.
Quarterback Grady Brosterhous and running back Javen Jacobs were key players for Boise State, throwing for 150 yards and rushing for 62 yards, respectively. Despite being outgained in the second half, Boise State capitalized on two Cougar fumbles to score 14 unanswered points. Utah State's quarterback Caden Pinnick completed 23 of 36 passes for 156 yards, while Leo Pulalasi rushed for 60 yards and scored.
The Aggies' offense relies heavily on Brosterhous, who is not a standout passer but excels at carrying the ball. The Cougars' defensive struggles, including 13 penalties for 113 yards, likely contributed to their loss. Next week, Washington State will face Oregon State, with the Beavers already proving to be an offensive powerhouse.
