Fourth quarter trick play helps Boise State hold off Fresno State 37-27 (GIF)
Boise State reached into its bag of tricks to pull out a home win over Fresno State Friday night.
Boise led most of the way, but a fumble on a kickoff allowed the Bulldogs to tie the game at 27 with 1:57 to go in the third quarter. On Boise’s next possession, senior quarterback Grant Hedrick led a methodical 17-play, 75-yard yard drive that took nearly eight minutes off the clock and culminated in the eventual game-winning score.
On a first-and-goal play from the Fresno 9-yard line, Hedrick took a shotgun snap and handed the ball off Jeremy McNichols, who was in motion pre-snap, McNichols then gave the ball to wideout Thomas Sperbeck on a double reverse. Sperbeck saw a Fresno defender closing and fired off a pass to Hedrick who had ventured out from the backfield toward the end zone.
Hedrick was wide open and hauled the pass in with ease for the go-ahead touchdown, making it 34-27.
The Broncos defense stiffened when Fresno regained possession, forcing two punts and a late interception. Boise added a short field goal and was able to run out the clock with a 37-27 win.
The win improved Boise State’s record to 5-2 overall and 3-1 in the Mountain West while the loss dropped Fresno to 3-5 overall and 2-2 in conference play.
The Broncos will host BYU at home next Friday night and Fresno will host Wyoming next Saturday.

Houston QB Greg Ward Jr.'s helmet flies off on hard hit (GIFs)
On its methodical first drive of the night against Temple, Houston drove down inside the Owls’ 10-yard line. On a third-and-goal, the Cougars’ 14th play of the drive, quarterback Greg Ward Jr. saw no one open and looked to run.
Ward Jr. a sophomore, sprinted left toward the goal line and was met with a hard hit from Temple’s Avery Williams just short of the goal line.
Ward Jr.’s helmet went flying at least five yards. Here’s another look.
Ward Jr. was fine after the hit, but Williams was shaken up and hobbled off the field.
Williams’ hit forced the Cougars to settle for a short field goal to go up 3-0.
Though Temple turned the ball over twice, a touchdown with under a minute to go in the first half allowed the Owls to cut Houston’s lead to 17-10 at halftime.
