LOGAN, Utah » Jared Zabransky threw for 328 yards and four touchdowns to lead Boise State to a 45-21 victory over Utah State yesterday.
The win is the Broncos' fifth straight overall and 29th in a row in league play, the longest current conference winning streak in the nation. Boise State's last league loss was Nov. 3, 2001, at Louisiana Tech.
The Broncos (5-2, 3-0) have won 15 straight road games.
Leon Jackson was 16-for-29 for 206 yards and three touchdowns for the Aggies (2-4, 1-3), who have lost five straight to the Broncos. Jackson began the game by completing his first nine passes.
Ahead 14-10, Utah State was about to get the ball back on its own 20-yard line following a punt by Boise State's Kyle Stringer with 9:14 left in the second quarter.
But the Aggies were called for holding prior to Stringer's punt and the Broncos got the ball back on Utah State's 49.
Boise State capitalized on the penalty as Zabransky's 16-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Putnam gave the Broncos the lead back for good, 17-14 with 6:01 left in the second quarter.
