We've got a points sighting in Sam Boyd Stadium! After a nearly scoreless first quarter of the 2010 Maaco Las Vegas Bowl, Kellen Moore throws the rare interception and the Broncos lose 24 yards, with the ball ending up at their own 32-yard line.
Terrance Cain throws two incomplete passes before hitting Jereme Brooks for a five-yard gain on third down, but the Utes must settle for a 44-yard Joe Phillips field goal. That Utah scores first is a surprise, but not as much as either of these teams needing a kicker to do it.
Boise State, ever butterfingered this evening, commits two fumbles on their ensuing possession, and the second one sticks. Utah rapidly sinks to 3rd-and-24, punts, and on the Broncos' very next play from scrimmage, Doug "Muscle Hamster" Martin gets loose down the left sideline for an 84-yard touchdown run.
Settling in to more of what we thought this game might look like, Cain is sacked and the Broncos take over on offense. After a questionable review on a nice touchdown pass from Kellen Moore is ruled a non-score, Kyle Brotzman boots a 29-yard field goal. With 2:32 remaining in the first half, Boise State leads Utah, 10-3.
