Kellen Moore threw three touchdown passes to lead No. 8 Boise State to a 45-0 victory over New Mexico on Saturday.

Doug Martin rushed for 110 yards and two scores as the Broncos (11-1, 6-1) kept their slim BCS bowl game hopes alive in Moore's final game on the blue turf.

New Mexico (1-11, 1-6) had only eight first downs and 198 yards of total offense as it lost its 22nd straight road game, the nation's longest streak.

Moore completed 28-of-33 passes for 313 yards and finishes the regular season with 41 touchdown passes, surpassing his own school record of 39 set last season. Moore also moved into fifth place on the NCAA career passing yardage list with 14,374, ahead of Hawaii's Colt Brennan (14,193 from 2005-07).

Moore has a 49-3 record as college football's all-time winningest quarterback.

Moore threw all three of his scoring strikes in the first half, including a 16-yarder to Tyler Shoemaker. It was Shoemaker's 15th TD reception of the season, breaking the school mark set two seasons ago by Austin Pettis.

Martin ran for a 4-yard score in the first quarter to help the Broncos open up a 31-0 lead at the half. He added a 40-yard TD romp in the third quarter.

New Mexico finished 1-11 for the third straight season. Former Notre Dame coach Bob Davie will coach the Lobos next season.
