GENERAL NOTES

• Senior QB Bo Wallace completed 23 of 30 passes for 320 yards and a touchdown, with no picks ... He has eclipsed 300 yards in both games this year and nine times in his career, one shy of Eli Manning's school record of 10.
• Wallace has tied Kent Austin for second place in school history with 566 career pass completions.
• Between the Boise State second half and the Vanderbilt first half, Wallace threw for 488 yards, which would be a single-game school record.

• Junior WR Cody Core continued his fast start to the season with four catches for 85 yards and his third touchdown of the year.

• The Rebels recorded nine pass breakups and an interception, their fifth of the season through two games.
