No. 24 Boise State 32, at New Mexico 29: Joe Southwick passed for 311 yards and three touchdowns and Timmy Smith knocked down a fourth-down pass with two minutes to go as the Broncos hung on. Boise State (3-1, 1-0 Mountain West) led by 25 points at half time after turning three fumbles by the Lobos (2-3, 0-1) into 18 points. New Mexico did not throw a pass in the second half until its final play, but baffled the Broncos with a triple-option offense.

at Air Force 42, Colorado State 21: Cody Getz had 222 of Air Force’s 459 yards rushing to lead the Falcons over their in-state rivals. Getz’s career-high mark made him the first player in Air Force history to begin a season with four consecutive 100-yard rushing games and the first with two 200-yard games in the same season since Chad Hall in 2007. The Falcons (2-2, 1-1 Mountain West) defeated the Rams (1-4, 0-1) for the seventh straight year. Connor Dietz threw two touchdowns for Air Force, the nation’s No. 2 rushing team entering the game. Five players scored for the Falcons, with Ty MacArthur finding the end zone twice.

San Jose State 12, at Navy 0: Austin Lopez kicked four field goals to complement a strong defensive effort at Annapolis, Md., as the Spartans (4-1) handed the Midshipmen (1-3) their first shutout in six years. Lopez’s kicks came from 29, 19, 32 and 43 yards as the Spartans failed to score a touchdown despite gaining 388 yards against the Navy defense.
