A 19-point win over Utah State still counts, even if Boise State fans spent it muttering about style.
The emotional rollercoaster
Boise State fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Boise State beat Utah State 37-18 on Friday and moved to 4-1, which on paper is a fine week and in the group chat was something closer to a hostage situation. The turning point was the game itself: a scoreline that looked tidy only after a stretch where the Broncos seemed allergic to the idea of a comfortable evening. One fan's diagnosis stuck: "we are so ass against terrible opponents and elite against good ones." Another just offered, "I seriously hate these motherfuckers so much." Winning has rarely felt so much like paperwork.
