FRESNO, Calif. - No. 23 Boise State totaled over 500 yards of offense in a takedown of Fresno State, 38-31, Saturday night.

The win snapped a three-game losing streak to the Bulldogs (4-2, 1-1 Pac-12). The Broncos (5-1, 2-0 Pac-12) have now won their road conference opener in 12 consecutive seasons, and have started 2-0 in league play for the fifth straight year.

Fresno State scored the first points of the contest, converting its opening drive to take a 7-0 lead. Dylan Riley responded instantly, taking the Broncos' second offensive play 73 yards to the house. A Zeke Martinez two-point conversion gave Boise State an 8-7 lead.

Terrious Favors turned his second career catch into a touchdown, breaking a tackle after the reception to score from 22 yards out. The Bulldogs answered with a 59-yard touchdown reception near the end of the quarter. Fresno State failed to convert the two-point attempt, and trailed the Broncos 15-13 after one.

Boise State completed an 18-play, 75-yard drive in the second quarter, resulting in a 2-yard rushing score from Sire Gaines. Fresno State cut the advantage to 22-20 with a touchdown of their own with 56 seconds left in the half, but the Broncos marched down the field to drill a 49-year field goal to take a 25-20 lead to the locker room.

Moore tacked on another field goal following the first drive of the second half to give the Blue and Orange a 28-20 advantage.

Riley added to the advantage with a 44-yard touchdown reception from Madsen on the first play of the fourth quarter, giving Boise State a 35-20 edge. Fresno State answered, recording a touchdown with 9:14 left in the ball game. The Bulldogs successfully converted a two-point conversion to cut the lead to 35-28.

Boise State ran the ball for 14 consecutive plays on its ensuing drive, taking off 7:40 of game clock. That drive led to Moore drilling his third field goal of the night with 1:34 left to give the Blue and Orange a 10-point advantage.

Fresno State answered, driving down and kicking a field goal of its own with 36 seconds remaining on the clock. The Bulldogs' onside kick attempt was unsuccessful, securing a Boise State victory.
