Maddux Madsen delivered four first-half touchdowns and Boise State claimed its third straight Mountain West Conference championship, overpowering UNLV 38–21 on Saturday in the final title game the Broncos will play before leaving for the rebuilt Pac-12 in 2026. Madsen tore through the Rebels early. He stacked up 196 total yards, opening with a 10-yard keeper and adding touchdown throws to Dylan Riley, Cameron Bates and Malik Sherrod as the Broncos (9-4) built a 28–14 lead. Sherrod's 39-yard score came one snap after a UNLV fumble.

UNLV (10-3), in its first season under head coach Dan Mullen, fought back behind quarterback Anthony Colandrea. He led a 95-yard march capped by his 5-yard touchdown run and later found Troy Omeire from 11 yards out to keep the Rebels within two scores at the half. JoJo Earle's 7-yard run cut the deficit to 28–21 late in the third. The Broncos forced three consecutive stops to open the fourth quarter and turned a 78-yard drive into Sire Gaines' 1-yard touchdown run for a 35–21 cushion with 13:21 left. Colton Boomer's 50-yard field goal sealed the margin. Madsen finished with 289 yards passing, while the Broncos outgained UNLV 460–409 and never trailed. Boise State also beat the Broncos, 56–31, in October. - Boise State/AP College Football

Dylan Riley ran for 120 yards and scored the game-winning touchdown with 2:26 remaining in regulation to lift Boise State over Utah State, 25-24 on Friday night in each team's final regular-season game. The Broncos (8-4, 6-2 Mountain West) overcame a 24-13 second-half deficit to win, as Quinton Brown reeled in his only catch for a 66-yard touchdown score late in the third, and Riley won it with his fourth-quarter dash. Max Cutforth was 25-for-48 passing for 325 yards and two touchdowns for Boise State. Malik Sherrod and Chase Penry each had six catches for 56 yards.

For the Aggies (6-6, 4-4), Bryson Barnes was 13-for-31 passing for 184 yards, and added 89 yards and a score on 18 carries. Javen Jacobs had five carries for 92 yards, including a 56-yard touchdown in the first quarter. With the Broncos' win, as well as New Mexico's win over San Diego State, the Mountain West Conference championship's participants will be decided by computer rankings. Two out of Boise State, New Mexico, San Diego State, and UNLV will be selected to play for the title. The Broncos have won the past two Mountain West championships. They head to the Pac-12 Conference next season. - Boise State/AP College Football

Maddux Madsen passed for four touchdowns, and both Omarion McCoy and Boen Phelps had a pick-6 to lead Boise State to a dominant 47-14 win over Appalachian State on Saturday night. McCoy's pick-6 with 1:49 remaining in the first quarter gave Boise State a 14-0 lead after Madsen found Latrell Caples for a game-opening touchdown. McCoy led the country with 19 passes defended last year. Madsen was 25-for-37 passing and set a career high with 321 yards. Caples had five receptions for 89 yards. Phelps secured the Broncos' second pick-6 with 10:21 remaining in the game.

One of Madsen's touchdowns came with a dramatic flair. After converting a fourth-and-5 with 1:53 remaining in the third quarter, he connected with freshman Quinton Brown for a 29-yard touchdown. It was Brown's first career touchdown, but he remained down after the catch and was pulled off to the medical tent with blood coming out of his lip. He smiled and waved his arms to the crowd on his way into the tent. The Mountaineers (2-2) were limited to 65 passing yards. Quarterback AJ Swann was sacked five times. - Boise State/AP College Football
