BOX SCORE
BOISE, Idaho (AP) _ Reserve running back Gavin Reed scored one
touchdown and set up two more in the opening quarter with a pair of
blocked punts and a long punt return, leading Boise State to a
52-17 win over Nevada Saturday.
Quarterback Bart Hendricks threw for two touchdowns and ran for
two scores for the Broncos (5-3, 1-1 Big West).
Reed scored the game's first touchdown in the opening moments
when he blocked Norm Brady's punt near the Wolf Pack 20-yard line
and returned the ball 15 yards for the score.
Nevada (2-5, 1-1) responded two minutes later with a 31-yard
touchdown pass from David Neill to Trevor Insley to tie the game at
7-7. But Reed returned the ensuing kickoff 59 yards to the Nevada
32, setting up a 5-yard touchdown run by Hendricks.
Mike Phillips' 38-yard field goal cut Boise State's lead to
14-10 with 6:07 remaining in the first quarter. But Reed struck
again before the opening period was over when he blocked another
Brady punt deep in Nevada territory, setting up another 5-yard
scoring run by Hendricks and giving the Broncos a 21-10 lead.
Boise State widened its lead to 31-10 in the second quarter on a
1-yard touchdown run by Davey Malaythong and a 32-yard field goal
by Nick Calaycay. Neill raced 37 yards for a touchdown with five
seconds left in the second quarter, cutting the Broncos' lead to
31-17 at halftime.
But Boise State put the game out of reach with 21 straight
points in the third quarter on two touchdown passes by Hendricks _
a 68-yarder to Mike Davisson and a 12-yarder to Brock Forsey_ and a
1-yard scoring run by Malaythong.
Boise State's defense sacked Neill nine times.
