Senior quarterback Kellen Moore threw 24-for-36 for 279 yards with three touchdowns and the Boise State Broncos romped to a 36-14 lead over the Wyoming Cowboys Saturday at Bronco Stadium.

Boise State captured their 10th win in 11 games as Moore once again steered a potent Broncos offense against a Wyoming defense that allowed 26.9 points per game this season.

Moore, who played his third to the last game before capping a glorious college football career, was picked off by junior safety Luke Anderson, who returned it 28 yards for a TD in the first quarter.

But the Broncos fired back, starting with 2-yard rushing TD by running back Doug Martin with 1:10 to play in the first half.

Moore finally unleashed his prolific passing right before intermission as he hooked up with freshman wideout Matt Miller for a 46-yard TD.

Clinging to a 13-7 lead at halftime, kicker Michael Frisina opened the second half with a field goal to give his team some breathing room at 16-7.

Sensing an opportunity to break away, Moore threw two more TD passes to completely tear the game apart in the third quarter.

Martin, who rushed for 153 yards on 25 attempts, scored his second rushing touchdown to put the icing on the cake for the Broncos.

Wyoming freshman quarterback Brett Smith threw 17-for-25 for 78 yards with one touchdown and one interception.

Boise State (10-1) caps its regular-season against New Mexico next week, while Wyoming ends its regular season schedule against Colorado State (7-4) also next week.
