The Broncos broke open a close game with a late barrage.
LAS VEGAS--Quarterback Brett Rypien threw for a freshman school record 469 yards as Boise State put away a pesky UNLV this afternoon 55-27.
Rypien three two touchdown passes and caught another on a pass from Thomas Sperbeck to lead the Broncos to their seventh win of the season against just two defeats. More importantly, the Broncos remained tied atop the Mountain Division of the Mountain West Conference with a 4-1 league mark.
