Troy committed three turnovers, eight penalties and allowed the Broncos to average 41.8 yards on kickoff returns and 24.8 yards on punt returns in the first-ever meeting between the two schools.

Boise State (1-0) got on the board just 94 seconds into the game on an 81-yard punt return for a touchdown by Avery Williams.

The Trojans (0-1) followed with one of their best offensive series of the game. A 26-yard reception by Damion Willis and a 26-yard run by Jamarius Henderson set up Troy inside the red zone. The Trojans were not able to move any closer and Bratcher Underwood booted a 38-yard field goal to put the Trojans on the board.

Troy’s defense came up with big stops on Boise’s next two offensive series – a fourth-down stand on its own 24-yard line by Sam Lebbie and a sack by Antione Barker that forced a fumble.

The Broncos, who improved to 103-6 at home since 2000, finally cracked the Troy defense as Alex Mattison broke through the middle for a 49-yard score to put Boise up 14-3 with 7:51 to play in the opening half.
