In a game that will be forever remembered as the first “Black Out” in Boise State history, the Broncos made an impressive showing in a win over conference foe UNLV. The Broncos (6-1, 3-0 MWC) defeated the Rebels (1-7, 1-2 MWC) 32-7 on Saturday afternoon and kept pace with Nevada in the conference standings as the two look prime for a seasonending showdown to decide the Mountain West Conference champion. The Broncos defense once again proved to be too much for their opponents as they held UNLV to 210 total yards and just 71 through the air. For the fifth straight game the Broncos’ defense did not allow a single point in the first half with the Reb-

Zabransky on the Boise State all-time rushing touchdown list with 32 now in his career. “At some point in the game I took a step back and it was great.” Joe Southwick said on the “Black Out”. “It was cool. It was a great environment; it was fun to play football today.” While Petersen didn’t want the “Black Out” to be a distraction to his team, he was excited on how it all turned out. “Yeah that Black Out was great, it was awesome. Interesting to see from the sideline.” Coach Petersen said. “I’ve been here a long time and it was a strange look. But I liked it, it was good, I hope the fans liked it and I know our players loved it.” The Broncos head to Laramie, Wyo. next weekend to take on the University of Wyoming Cowboys.
