Sophomore running back Bishop Sankey led the way for the Huskies with 203 yards rushing, including a 26-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. He also had six receptions for 74 yards.
Boise State led by as many as eight points after a touchdown midway through the third quarter. But the Huskies fought back to take a lead -- their only of the game -- with just 4:09 remaining in the fourth when Travis Coons kicked a 38-yard field goal.
On the ensuing kickoff, Shane Williams-Rhodes returned the kick 47 yards to set up the Broncos in Washington territory, which they took advantage of with a Frisina field goal from 27 yards.
After Washington got near mid-field on their final drive of the game, Keith Price threw an interception that capped the game for the Broncos.
