Tyson Maeva was a good linebacker for Boise State. The last game he played for the Broncos was the 2018 Mountain West championship game loss to Fresno State. Maeva had 61 tackles at the time, second among Boise State defenders.
Octavius the obelisk
So you don’t have to look up “obelisk,” it’s “a stone pillar, typically having a square or rectangular cross section and a pyramidal top, set up as a monument or landmark.”

A streak that really matters
You can talk about the 1,000-yard rusher streak, and consecutive 10-win seasons and division titles and bowl games and all that. All of those are either up in the air or out the window this season for Boise State.
