Doug Martin rushed for two touchdowns and Boise State’s defense dominated Nevada’s offense as the No. 5 Broncos recorded a 30-10 non-conference victory over the visiting Wolf Pack on Saturday.

Kellen Moore threw multiple touchdown passes for the 37th time in his career and Boise State (4-0) held Nevada scoreless through the first three quarters while rolling past the team that famously stomped out their BCS hopes last November.

Martin’s running (126 yards) and the defense carried the Broncos past Nevada (1-3) on a day in which Moore uncharacteristically struggled. The Heisman Trophy candidate was intercepted twice and threw for 142 yards.

Martin scored touchdowns on runs of 5 and 43 yards, the latter a burst around left end that gave Boise State a 27-0 lead early in the third quarter. He also had a 92-yard touchdown run called back by a holding penalty.

Meanwhile, Nevada didn’t move the ball past midfield until 8:01 remained in the third quarter and that foray occurred when Boise State’s Billy Winn was called for a 15-yard roughing-the-passer penalty on Tyler Lantrip.

Moore threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to D.J. Harper midway through the first quarter and teamed up with Matt Miller on a 3-yard scoring pass with 5:51 left 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.

Nevada’s points came on Allen Hardison’s 21-yard field goal early in the final quarter and a 53-yard pass play from Mason Magleby 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.
