Boise State played a good game for the most part in this one, but the first quarter was a struggle. Perhaps it was because of all the time off, but the Broncos just didn't look ready to go out of the gates, and Penn State was able to take advantage.

No. 3 Boise State proved it belonged in the College Football Playoff, out-gaining No. 6 Penn State 412-387 in Tuesday night’s Fiesta Bowl. But the Broncos (12-2) and star tailback Ashton Jeanty weren’t sharp enough to defeat a team of Penn State’s caliber.
