No. 23 Boise State Outlasts Washington 16-13

In a highly anticipated game to kickoff the 2015 College Football Season, Boise State did just enough to hold off Washington en route to a 16-13 victory.

Four years ago Boise State worked out a home-and-home deal with Washington. Little did both sides know the implications such a deal would have on the college football world. At the time the deal was made, Chris Petersen was still the head coach at Boise State, while Steve Sarkisian was steering the ship at Washington.

As if stolen from a Hollywood movie script, Petersen jumped ship to Washington in 2013, setting up a premier match up on the back end of the home-and-home with Boise State.
