Boise State steamrolled Colorado State 49-21 in a ground-game showcase that featured five different Broncos finding the end zone on rushing touchdowns. After a competitive first quarter tied at 7-7, the Broncos dominated the second period with 20 unanswered points to build a commanding halftime lead. The Rams briefly threatened with back-to-back fourth quarter touchdowns to cut the deficit to 34-21, but Malik Sherrod's second touchdown run of the night sparked a 15-point closing surge by the Broncos on their blue turf.
