TULSA, Okla. (AP) - Brock Forsey ran for 208 yards and scored four touchdowns as Boise State defeated Tulsa 52-24 Saturday night, extending the nation's longest losing streak to 16 games.
Tulsa (0-6, 0-2 Western Athletic Conference) broke the school record for consecutive losses, set by the 1953-55 teams.
Forsey's backup, David Mikell, ran 13 times for 103 yards and had three catches for 51 yards as the Broncos (5-1, 2-0) racked up 353 yards rushing against the nation's second-worst run defense.
Forsey bettered Boise State career records for touchdowns (46) and all-purpose yardage (5,527).
Broncos quarterback B.J. Rhode passed for 199 yards and one touchdown and ran for another.
Forsey scored on runs of 6 and 5 yards, and Rhode hit Jay Swillie with a 3-yard touchdown pass as Boise State opened a 21-0 lead early in the second quarter.
Tulsa closed to 21-7 at halftime on a 64-yard drive that was aided by two costly penalties.
The touchdown came on a 7-yard pass from Tyler Gooch that was tipped by Tulsa receivers Jermaine Landrum and Sean Yoder before being caught by Romby Bryant.
The Broncos drove 79 yards on the first possession of the second half to score on a 1-yard sneak by Rhode.
Forsey had two 25-yard scoring runs, and reserve tailback Donny Heck ran 14 yards for a late score.
Gooch completed 25 of 51 passes for a career-high 306 yards and three touchdowns, including second-half TDs of 35 yards to Montiese Culton and 12 yards to Garrett Mills.
