Demond Williams Jr. passed for 214 yards and four touchdowns and Washington racked up five interceptions while rolling to an easy 38-10 victory over Boise State in the LA Bowl on Saturday night in Inglewood, Calif.

Denzel Boston had six receptions for 125 yards and one touchdown for the Huskies (9-4), who won for the third time in the past four games. Dezmen Roebuck, Raiden Vines-Bright and Quentin Moore also had scoring catches for Washington.

Jonah Coleman rushed for 86 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries for the Huskies. Leroy Bryant had two interceptions and Xe'ree Alexander, Rahshawn Clark and Deshawn Lynch each registered one for Washington.

Boise State's Maddux Madsen completed 7 of 16 passes for 51 yards and was intercepted twice before aggravating a right foot injury near the end of the first half. He watched the second half with a boot on the foot. Madsen sustained an injury to the same foot on Nov. 1 against Fresno State and missed the next three games.

Max Cutforth played the second half for the Broncos (9-5) and completed 15 of 27 passes for 202 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions. Matt Lauter had the scoring catch for Boise State, which had a three-game winning streak halted.

Washington improved to 5-2 all-time against Boise State, and its five victories have come by an average of 28.4 points.

Colton Boomer kicked a 52-yard field goal on Boise State's first possession before the Huskies dominated the rest of the game.


Grady Gross booted a 33-yard field goal to tie the contest with 4:20 left in the first quarter before Washington tacked on three touchdowns in the second quarter.

Boston got open long and Williams hit him inside the Boise State 35-yard line and Boston finished off the 78-yard play to put the Huskies ahead with 10:06 left in the first half.

Washington increased the lead to 17-3 when Williams tossed a 6-yard touchdown pass to Roebuck with 1:56 remaining. Clark then picked off Madsen, which set up a 3-yard scoring pass to Vines-Bright with 1:17 left in the half.

The Huskies boosted their lead to 31-3 early in the third quarter when Williams (15-of-24 passing) threw a 32-yard touchdown pass to Moore.

Boise State had first-and-goal at the Washington 6 early in the fourth quarter, but Cutforth was pressured out of the pocket and threw the ball into a pack of players in the end zone and Bryant made the interception.

On the Broncos' next possession, Cutforth was picked off by Hand, who returned it 57 yards to the Boise State 9. Three plays later, Coleman scored from the 6.

The next time Boise State had the ball, Bryant made his second interception of the game at the Washington 40 with 9:10 left.

Cutforth tossed an 8-yard scoring pass to Lauter with 1:18 to go to account for Boise State's lone touchdown.
