FORT COLLINS, Colorado — The Boise, Idaho, Broncos made it eight wins in a row Saturday night, as No. 20 Boise State racked up 669 yards and beat Colorado State 64-38.

The Broncos did it without starting quarterback Maddux Madsen, who sat out hurt. Max Cutforth took over and completed 16 passes in 19 tries for 317 yards. He threw four touchdowns and scored once on the ground.

Tailback Dylan Riley was the headliner. He totaled 300 all-purpose yards and scored three times. Riley ran for 192 yards, with scoring runs covering 31 and 42 yards, caught passes for 88 yards and returned a kickoff for 20 more. His first score came on just the second snap of the night, a 73-yard catch and run out of the backfield. His season rushing total is up to 1,241 yards.

The Broncos found the end zone on each of their first four possessions and had to punt just one time. The 669 total yards rank eighth in program history, and no Boise State team had scored 64 on the road since 1952, when the Broncos won 71-13 at Chaffey College.

Riley, a 5-foot-10 junior, has led the nation in rushing for much of the fall, and his name has crept into Heisman Trophy talk. His third touchdown, a 31-yard dash down the sideline midway through the third quarter, ended with the Heisman pose his teammates had been urging him to strike for weeks. The comparisons to Ashton Jeanty, the 2024 Heisman runner-up from Boise State, come with the territory, and Riley has said he is focused on his own path.

Colorado State came in giving up an FBS-worst 42.4 points a game. Rams quarterback Hauss Hejny passed for 253 yards and two scores and rushed for 69 more with a touchdown, yet Colorado State fell to 3-6 and 1-4 in league play.

Boise State is now 8-1 and 5-0 in the Pac-12, and it sits No. 25 in the College Football Playoff rankings. The only loss came in the opener, 34-27 at Oregon. Coach Spencer Danielson has the Broncos positioned as the top-ranked Group of Six team in the playoff chase.
