With Kellen Moore struggling, Boise State still had enough to keep Nevada from playing spoiler once again.

Doug Martin rushed for a season-high 126 yards and scored two touchdowns to pick up the slack for Moore and lead the fifth-ranked Broncos to a 30-10 victory over Nevada.

Moore struggled but still threw two touchdown passes, the 37th time he has done so in his career. But he was just 19-of-33, threw a pair of interceptions and had just 142 yards passing.

Martin scored on runs of 5 and 43 yards, the second gave Boise State (4-0) a 27-0 lead early in the third quarter.

Last November Nevada rallied from a 17-point halftime deficit and upended Boise State, likely keeping the Broncos from playing for the national title, this time they didn't have nearly as much success.

The Wolf Pack did not get past midfield in the first half and the game was well in hand before they managed any points.

Allen Hardison kicked a 21-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter and Mason Magleby threw a 53-yard TD pass to Rishard Matthews with 46 seconds left.

Nevada trailed 20-0 at halftime and had just 50 yards of total offense and three first downs in the first half.

Moore improved to 42-2 as a starting quarterback and is three victories behind the career record held by Colt McCoy of Texas.
