Boise State cruised to a 55-7 win over Northern Illinois in the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl on Wednesday at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego.
The 48-point margin of victory is the largest so far during bowl season. According to Chadd Cripe of the Idaho Statesman, the 55 points are also the most in Poinsettia Bowl history.
The Huskies simply had no answer for the Broncos offense, which moved the ball almost at will. Boise State amassed 654 total yards and averaged 6.7 yards a play.
Quarterback Brett Rypien threw for 377 yards and three touchdowns on 29-of-40 passing, while running back Jeremy McNichols ran for 93 yards and two touchdowns and caught five passes for 96 yards and a TD.
