Martin leads Boise St. in blowout

LOGAN, Utah — Boise State isn't making BCS plans just yet.

While the sixth-ranked Broncos remained unbeaten with a 52-21 rout of Utah State Friday night, they still have two more games left — including against the only other team in the Western Athletic Conference that has a shot at the league title.

The Broncos are back at home next week against Nevada, which was on a seven-game winning streak entering Saturda's game at New Mexico State.

"We've got a big one coming up. That's for sure," said Kellen Moore, who passed for 233 yards and a touchdown against the Aggies.

Moore had thrown for at least three touchdowns in six straight games, but on Friday his main role was just to hand the ball off and watch Doug Martin and Jeremy Avery go.

Martin ran for four touchdowns, Avery ran for two more and both topped 100 yards rushing to help the sixth-ranked Broncos (11-0, 6-0) stayed in BCS contention with a season-high 323 rushing yards.

"It makes life a little easier," Moore said. "They're running the ball really well. That's really good to have late in the season."

Boise State broke a 14-all tie with four touchdowns in the second quarter, two just 43 seconds apart to start breaking down the Aggies (3-8, 2-5).

Boise State added another touchdown barely 2 minutes into the third quarter and what was a close game for about 25 minutes turned into the rout it was expected to be.
