In this story:

Down 10-6 in the first half at UNLV, Maddux Madsen engineered an 11-play, 80-yard drive to give the #17 Boise State Broncos the lead for the first time on Friday night.

Madsen dropped back to pass, but quickly made the decision to pull the ball down and scamper seven yards for Boise State's first touchdown of the night. Through the first half of action, Madsen was the Broncos' leading rusher with 56 yards on just two carries.

On the ensuing UNLV possession, the Broncos would pick the ball off and quickly get right back into the red zone. On fourth and goal from the two-yard line, Madsen connected with Matt Lauter to extend the Bronco lead to 20-10 to close out the half.

Boise State would go on to win the game 29-24 on Saturday and improve to 6-1. Madsen finished with 18 completions on 33 attempts for 209 yards and one touchdown pass, while also rushing for 58 yards and a touchdown.
