HONOLULU (Ticker) -- David Mikell scored on a one-yard run and a 98-yard kickoff return as Boise State kept alive its faint Western Athletic Conference title hopes with a 28-21 victory over Hawaii.

Boise State (6-4, 5-2 WAC) remained one game behind first-place Louisiana Tech. The Broncos play their final conference game against San Jose State while the Bulldogs close with last-place Tulsa.

Hawaii (6-3, 5-3) was eliminated from title contention.

Mikell scored on a one-yard plunge with 6:47 left in the first quarter to give Boise State a 6-3 lead. Justin Ayat's 47-yard field goal tied it before Mikell took the ensuing kickof on his own 2-yard line and brought it all the way back for a 13-6 lead after one quarter.

The Broncos opened a 20-9 lead on a six-yard touchdown pass from Ryan Dinwiddie to running back Brock Forsey with 24 seconds left in the first half, capping an 11-play, 77-yard drive.

Hawaii rallied in the third quarter and pulled within 20-15 on a 22-yard TD toss from Nick Rolovich to Ashley Lelie, but the two-point conversion failed. The Warriors went ahead on Thero Mitchell's one-yard plunge with 76 seconds left in the period but again missed the two-point attempt, settling for a 21-20 edge.

Boise State took over on its own 35 with 6:13 remaining and drove 65 yards in just under three minutes to take the lead for good. An 18-yard pass from Dinwiddie to Rocky Atkinson put the Broncos at the 4 and Forsey ran it in on the next play.

Dinwiddie hit tight end Jeb Putzier for the two-point conversion and a 28-21 lead.

The Warriors had one last chance and drove to their own 45. But Rolovich was sacked on third down and threw incomplete on fourth down before the Broncos ran out the clock.

Forsey carried 29 times for 132 yards, the fourth time he has topped the century mark this season. He has 2,100 career rushing yards, good for fifth on Boise State's all-time list.
