BOISE, ID (11/12/11) – Boise State’s dreams of an unbeaten season and a potential berth in the BCS National Championship Game were ended Saturday on the blue turf, as TCU defeated the Broncos 36-35.
TCU (8-2) took the lead on a 2-pt conversion with 1:05 remaining in the 4th quarter, then held on as Boise State’s kicker Dan Goodale missed a 39-yd attempt that would’ve give the Broncos (8-1) the win.
John Tautges and Terry Donahue called the action for Westwood One Sports.
