BOISE, Idaho, Aug. 31 (UPI) -- Ian Johnson ran for 128 yards and three touchdowns Thursday night as No. 24 Boise State began its season with a 56-7 win over Weber State.
It was the Broncos' 14th straight victory, the longest current streak in the country.
Boise State is coming off a perfect season that was highlighted by a 43-42, overtime victory over Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl.
Eleven starters are missing from that team, but Boise State showed plenty of running ability, with Jeremy Avery adding 105 ground yards and two scores. Quarterback Taylor Tharp was 14 of 19 for 184 yards and a touchdown.
Boise State took control quickly by driving 80 yards on 13 plays on its first possession. Vinny Perretta finished the drive with a five-yard run.
