No. 20 Boise State rallies to beat Texas State 46-45 after blowing a 25-point halftime lead

Boise State University's football team staged an incredible comeback to defeat Texas State 46-45, despite trailing by 25 points at halftime. Quarterback Max Cutforth saved the day in the final seven minutes, throwing three touchdown passes. The Bobcats, who entered the game as 20th in the nation, had been on a roll with three lead changes in the final five minutes of the contest.

Texas State had built a 39-28 halftime lead with key plays from quarterback Brad Jackson, who completed 327 yards and four touchdowns. However, Boise State's defense refused to surrender, and Cutforth's final touchdown pass sealed the victory. Starting quarterback Maddux Madsen, who had thrown for 236 yards and a touchdown earlier in the game, left the fourth quarter after suffering a knee injury. This marks Boise State's first victory against a ranked opponent since joining the FBS in 2012.
