BOISE, Idaho – Boise State senior Max Cutforth was one of eight quarterbacks named to the Manning Stars of the Week, the Sugar Bowl announced. In his first start of the season, he completed 16-of-19 passes for 317 yards and four touchdowns while adding a 1-yard rushing score.
Cutforth guided the Broncos to a 64-38 win over Colorado State, the program's highest-scoring road performance since 1952. Boise State churned out 669 yards of total offense, the eighth-most in program history. A product of Skyview HS in Nampa, Idaho, Cutforth threw a 73-yard touchdown pass to Dylan Riley on the game's second play, then added touchdowns of 15, 35 and 29 yards. He scored on a 1-yard rush in the fourth quarter, capping a day which saw him average 14.9 yards of total offense per play, the second-highest single-game total in program history.
This is the first time Cutforth has been named a Manning Star of the Week. He is the second Bronco to receive the honor this season, joining Maddux Madsen, who was selected on Sept. 289 following a 233-yard, three-touchdown effort in a 32-7 win at Western Michigan.
Boise State, which was placed No. 25 in the initial College Football Playoff rankings, climbed to No. 17 in the AP Poll and No. 18 in the Coaches Poll. The Broncos (8-1, 5-0 Pac-12) host ESPN's College GameDay on Saturday (Nov. 14) before their Pac-12 showdown with Oregon State, which begins at 4 p.m. in Albertsons Stadium. The contest will air nationally on USA Sports.
