HONOLULU – Behind another noteworthy Ashton Jeanty performance and a stifling defense that produced eight sacks, No. 17 Boise State took down Hawai’i, 28-7, Saturday evening at Clarence T.C. Ching Complex.

Jeanty recorded his third 200+ yard rushing game of the season, notching 217 yards on the ground on 31 attempts. He found the end zone in the first quarter off a 54-yard rushing touchdown – his eighth 50+ score on the ground this season – and again later in the fourth quarter with a 5-yard touchdown reception.

Defensively, the Broncos (5-1, 2-0 Mountain West) matched their season-high with eight sacks and held the Rainbow Warriors (2-4, 0-2 MW) to a season-low of 15 rushing yards. Jayden Virgin-Morgan had a career night, finishing with career-highs in tackles (six) and sacks (2.5). Seyi Oladipo (two), Braxton Fely (1.5) and Ahmed Hassanein (1.5) each added multiple sacks for the squad.

Cameron Camper once again had a standout performance in the passing game, becoming the first Bronco receiver of the season to record over 100 yards after finishing the contest with 111 yards on a season-high seven receptions. Maddux Madsen also had an efficient evening, completing 17 of his 25 pass attempts to finish with 217 passing yards and a pair of touchdown passes. His last touchdown, a 44-yard strike to Austin Bolt on fourth-and-one, pushed the Bronco lead to 21 points to seal the victory for the Broncos.
