Quarterback Bart Hendricks threw for three touchdowns and 154 yards as Boise State improved to 4-2 with its third straight win while Eastern Washington fell to 3-3. Bronco defensive ends Zach Weber and Mike Maloy set the tone on the game's first play from scrimmage when they combined for a fumble recovery by Eagle quarterback Chris Samms.
