Sean Modster – Noteworthy
Sean Modster caught a career-best three touchdowns passes to lead No. 23 Boise State to a 45-14 victory over New Mexico on Friday night. The Broncos (9-2, 6-1 Mountain West) took advantage of three turnovers by the Lobos (3-8, 1-6) that they turned into 24 points. Modster finished with a career-high nine catches for 129 yards. Broncos quarterback Brett Rypien was an efficient 17 for 27 for 222 yards and the three scores, while running back Alexander Mattison added 145 yards and a touchdown. The Broncos came into the game looking to break Modster open, Rypien said “He got some looks but at other times, it depended on what they were giving us,” he said. “He just did a good job of winning the one-on-ones. I think our other guys are going to be hungry now that Sean had three touchdowns. I’m sure there are some other guys in that room who are going to want some red zone action, as well.” Boise State limited the Lobos to 262 total yards and one touchdown, with their other score coming on a punt return. – AP College Football
