Kellen Moore threw three touchdown passes in his final game on the blue turf to lead No. 8 Boise State to a 45-0 victory over visiting 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.
New Mexico (1-11, 1-6) has lost 22 straight road games, the nation’s longest skid. The Lobos had only eight first downs and 198 yards of total offense.
Moore was 28-of-33 passing for 313 yards in his final home contest 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 career passing yardage list with 14,374, ahead of Hawaii’s Colt Brennan (14,193 from 2005-07).
Moore threw first-half touchdown passes of 2 yards to Kyle Efaw, 16 yards to Tyler Shoemaker and 15 yards to Gabe Linehan. Shoemaker’s scoring reception was his 15th of the campaign, breaking the school mark set two seasons ago by Austin Pettis.
Martin scored on a 4-yard run to cap Boise State’s 21-point first quarter en route to the Broncos’ 31-0 halftime lead. Martin added a 40-yard scoring run in the third quarter and has 1,370 rushing yards, fourth-best on the school’s single-season list.
Drew Wright added a 30-yard scoring run with 5:01 left.
Moore has a 49-3 record as college football’s all-time winningest quarterback.
New Mexico finished 1-11 for the third straight season. Former Notre Dame coach Bob Davie will coach the Lobos next season.
