D.J. Harper rushed for 105 yards and two touchdowns as Boise State bulled past Wyoming 45-14 this afternoon for their seventh straight victory.
Harper scored on runs of 12 and 3 yards to land in fifth place on the all-time Bronco career rushing touchdowns list with 34. Harper is now just three behind all-time great Cedric Minter in that department. Freshman sensation Jay Ajayi scored from 15 yards out in the fourth quarter as Boise State slowly wore the Cowboys down.
Joe Southwick was 20-of-28 passes for 198 yards, leading the Bronco offense that connected on 12-of-14 third-down conversions and scored on all five of its red zone chances.
The Boise State defense bent early, but then settled down to limit Wyoming to 270 yards, 106 below its average. The Bronco "D" had four sacks.
Wyoming played the game without head coach Dave Christensen, who was suspended for his conduct following the 28-27 loss to Air Force on October 13.
Boise State held a 17-7 halftime lead, then put the game out of reach with 21 unanswered points in the third quarter. Freshman Shane Williams-Rhodes darted for a 28-yard score, Corey Bell returned a fumble 19 yards for a touchdown and quarterback Grant Hedrick scored from one yard out.
Boise State braces for San Diego State, who will visit Bronco Stadium for the first time in history next Saturday.
