Holani Shines in the Desert
Holani, a senior with a reputation for hard-nosed running, lived up to the hype. He rushed for 173 yards and two touchdowns on just 15 carries, averaging an incredible 11.5 yards per attempt. His speed and vision were on full display, as he consistently broke through the UNLV defense for big gains.
"He's a special player," said Boise State head coach Andy Avalos. "He's got that explosiveness, that ability to make people miss, and he runs hard. He's a true leader for this team."

Beyond Holani's stellar performance, the Boise State offense was firing on all cylinders. Quarterback Taylen Green completed 16 of 22 passes for 233 yards and two touchdowns. He also added a rushing touchdown, showcasing his dual-threat ability.
The Broncos' offensive line provided excellent protection for Green, allowing him to find receivers downfield and execute the run game effectively. This offensive efficiency kept the UNLV defense on their heels, leading to a decisive victory.

This dominant performance against UNLV suggests that Boise State is poised for a successful season. The team showed the ability to generate offense with both the run and pass, highlighting their depth and versatility.
"We're still a young team, but we're learning and growing," said Avalos. "We're excited about the potential of this team, and we're looking forward to the challenges ahead."
With Holani leading the charge, the Broncos have a strong foundation to build upon as they look to compete for a Mountain West Conference title and a spot in the postseason. This win against UNLV served as a powerful statement, showcasing the team's talent and the potential for a bright future.
