COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Fresno State redshirt junior nickelback Simeon Harris has been named the Mountain West Old Trapper Defensive Player of the Week after his stellar performance in Fresno State's 30-7 win at Boise State on Saturday.
Harris had six tackles, 3.0 TFL, 1.0 sack, a forced fumble and an interception in the dominant win on The Blue. His 3.0 TFL were a career-high and the most by any Bulldog this season. His sack was a strip sack for the forced fumble that was recovered by Fresno State. It was his first career forced fumble.
Harris led a Fresno State defense that held Boise State to just seven points, its fewest scored in a home game since 2012 vs BYU. It was Boise State's fewest points scored in a home loss since 1993.
The veteran defender led a Bulldog defense that held Boise State to a season-low 193 yards of total offense and three turnovers.
The loss for the Broncos snapped a 16-game home winning streak, an active streak that led the nation. Behind Harris' efforts, Boise State suffered its first Mountain West regular season loss since falling to Fresno State, 37-30, on Nov. 4, 2023. The Broncos had previously won 14 consecutive league contests. The loss also snapped a 10-game home conference winning streak, having last lost a regular season league game at Albertsons Stadium on Oct. 16, 2021 to Air Force.
With the win for the Bulldogs, Fresno State kept possession of the Milk Can trophy and won its third-straight meeting in the series with Boise State. Fresno State also secured bowl eligibility on Saturday, its fifth straight season with a bowl.
Harris becomes the second Bulldog to earn Mountain West Defensive Player of the Week this season, joining fellow Utah State transfer Jadon Pearson.
