Boise State Broncos Chase Dual 1,000-Yard Rushers

Boise State Broncos running backs Dylan Riley and Sire Gaines are poised to make history in 2026.

What's the goal?

The duo aims to become the first pair of Broncos to rush for 1,000 yards in the same season.

Riley finished the 2025 season with 1,125 rushing yards, while Gaines had 811 yards.

Why it matters for Boise State Broncos

Having two 1,000-yard rushers would be a significant achievement, with only two teams accomplishing this feat in 2025.

Boise State coach Spencer Danielson believes the experience of both running backs will help boost their running game.

What comes next?

The Broncos will face Oregon Ducks on September 5, 2026, and a strong running game will be crucial to their success.

Gaines and Riley are expected to share the load once again in 2026, with both players bringing a unique set of skills to the table.

Riley had 195 touches in 2025, while Gaines had 161, and the team will look to keep the touches fairly even to give both players a chance to put up big numbers.

The Broncos' running game will be put to the test against the Ducks, and a strong performance will be essential to securing a win.
