Louisiana Tech doesn't get much out of its next drive, a Ross Jenkins-Lennon Creer affair that covers just 11 yards and takes less than a minute. Boise State fares no better, going three-and-out with two incomplete Kellen Moore passes and botching a punt downing that ends up being ruled a touchback. (The punter, by the way? Moore himself. How do you do, kid!)
Tech gets the ball back and sets to work with the same cast of characters. Creer rush. Creer ruch again, and again. Ray Holley rush, Ross Jenkins rush, and they just can't get enough motion going. The Bulldogs punt with just over three minutes remaining in the half.
And this is the point where ESPN seems to realize this game is airing on the Deuce on a Tuesday night, that they could probably outfit the entire booth crew in rabbit suits and no one would notice, and that this might be a fine time to stage a "volcano-in-a-beaker" chemistry experiment as a broad-stroked metaphor for the Broncos' BCS prospects.
No, seriously, they had Rob Smith on the play-by-play and everything:
Boise State Vs. Louisiana Tech: A Little Luck In The Endzone Extends Broncos’ Lead To 28-7
[Via bubbaprog at 30fps.mocksession.com]
Whatever's going on in that Erlenmeyer flask, it's working some mojo: Boise State gets down to the goal line in a hurry, and Kellen Moore is hit on a rush to the endzone. Kyle Efaw recovers the ball in the endzone, and the Broncos are credited with the touchdown, putting them up 28-7 heading into the locker rooms for halftime.
