PULLMAN, Wash. - Boise State scored three touchdowns in the final quarter to pull away from Washington State, winning 31-10 on Saturday.
With the game tied at 10, Maddux Madsen found Cam Bates for a 6-yard touchdown pass early in the fourth quarter to give the Broncos (6-1, 3-0 Pac-12) a lead. Boen Phelps picked off the Cougars (1-7, 0-4 Pac-12) on the next drive, setting up a 33-yard Dylan Riley rushing score to make it 24-10.
Riley put the exclamation point on the contest with a 72-yard touchdown run - his fourth 70+ yard rush of the season - with a little over six minutes to play.
With the victory, Boise State is bowl-eligible for the 29th consecutive season, the second-longest active streak in the nation. Georgia achieved its 30th straight season of bowl eligibility last week.
The Blue and Orange put points on the scoreboard first. Facing a third and seven on its second offensive possession, Madsen found Rasean Jones for back-to-back receptions, putting the ball inside the 10-yard line. Sire Gaines took over from there, punching it in from nine yards out to give Boise State an early 7-0 advantage.
Washington State evened the score with a touchdown with 46 seconds left in the first half, putting together a 16-play, 73-yard drive. Boise State responded, driving 54 yards to connect on a 28-yard field goal to end the half with a 10-7 edge.
The Cougars tied the game with a 48-yard field goal midway through the third quarter. On the ensuing drive, Madsen rushed for two separate first downs with his legs. It paid off, with the fifth-year quarterback finding Cam Bates for a 6-yard touchdown pass at the start of the fourth quarter.
On the next possession, Boen Phelps snatched his second career interception, returning it 13 yards to the Cougar 33-yard line. Two plays later, Dylan Riley rushed 33 yards to the end zone, giving Boise State a 24-10 lead with 11:40 remaining.
Riley put the exclamation point on the victory, scoring a rushing touchdown from 72 yards out to give the Broncos a 21-point lead.
