RUSTON, La. - Boise State football coach Chris Petersen told his team all week to expect a dogfight Friday night at Louisiana Tech.

When the Bulldogs rallied within two points in the fourth quarter, the No. 5 Broncos became believers.

They also embraced the fight.

The Broncos defense produced back-to-back stops and the offense scored two straight touchdowns as they pulled away for a 45-35 victory.

"Everyone was still calm," said junior wide receiver Austin Pettis, who made a critical touchdown catch in the fourth quarter. "You can just see on the sideline, the confidence. You see smiles. You'd think we were already done playing the game. It's just knowing that we're going to come and make plays and that's exactly what we did."

The Broncos improved to 9-0 overall and 4-0 in the WAC and earned their school-record 11th straight road win. They play three of their final four games at home, beginning Nov. 14 against Idaho.
