Running back Dylan Riley racked up 300 all-purpose yards and scored three touchdowns on Saturday, leading No. 25 Boise State to a 64-38 victory over Colorado State in Fort Collins, Colorado, Field Level Media reported.

Colorado State answered immediately with a five-play, 75-yard drive capped by an 9-yard touchdown run from Oliver Lundberg to make it 8-7. But the Broncos pulled away as Riley scored again on a fourth-and-1 handoff from the 42-yard line, and Cutforth connected with Matt Wagner for a 15-yard score to push the lead to 22-7.
Cutforth completed 16 of 19 passes for 317 yards and four touchdowns while also running for a score, helping Boise State reach a season high in points. Rasean Jones added six catches for 116 yards and a touchdown for the Broncos.
Boise State piled up 669 total yards, including 352 on the ground, against a Colorado State defense that entered the matchup carrying FBS-worst marks in total defense at 526.4 yards per game, rushing yardage allowed at 261.1 yards per game, and scoring defense at 42.4 points per game.
