Auburn, AL-Boise State shocked top-ranked Auburn, 36-10, to advance to the National Championship Game on January 10. The Broncos used a balanced attack to play keep away from Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton and his prolific offense. One of the main storylines heading into this matchup was whether or not the Boise State offense could handle the powerful running game of the Tigers, but the Broncos won the battle up front and actually ran for more yards than Auburn, 202-184. They were led by Doug Martin, who ran for 184 yards, including a 57-yard score in the second quarter that busted open the game.
When you add in the passing game, the Tigers were no match for Boise State. QB Kellen Moore completed 23 of 28 for 304 yards and 2 TD, continuing his fantastic performance so far this postseason. Now, he has a chance to lead his squad to a National Title against the winner of Michigan State and Wisconsin.
