ATLANTA -- Boise State senior quarterback Kellen Moore and offensive coordinator Brent Pease played a shell game with the Georgia defense on Saturday night at the Georgia Dome.

Sure, the Broncos don't have the experience and talent of Austin Pettis and Titus Young at wide receiver.

Instead, they've got so many options in the pass game that defenses, like Georgia's, will have a near-impossible time tracking them all.

Moore completed passes to nine different players, including five wide receivers, in the No. 5 Broncos' 35-21 win over the No. 19 Bulldogs.

It was a performance that earned Moore player of the week honors as a new member of the Mountain West Conference.

He was 7-for-7 on one touchdown drive with completions to five different players.

"It's just fun, playing with a new group of wide receivers, to get those guys going," Moore said.

Two of the players with catches were playing their first college game -- redshirt freshman wideout Matt Miller (five catches, 57 yards, TD) and true freshman wideout Dallas Burroughs (one, 3 yards). Three more set career highs for receptions -- senior tight end Kyle Efaw (six, 53, TD), junior wideout Mitch Burroughs (five, 43) and sophomore tight end Gabe Linehan (three, 36).

"We're going to throw to who is open, by committee," coach Chris Petersen said. "That's how we've done it in the past. We've got the same type of crew. We lost (Pettis) and (Young), but that's not our norm. We'll get about six to eight guys, move them around and give them all a piece of the pie."

Along the way, the Broncos could create some new stars.

Like Miller, the highly touted recruit out of Helena, Mont., who tore an Achilles tendon in fall camp last year and didn't participate in contact drills for nearly a year.

He settled in a void in Georgia's zone in the first quarter, collected his first college catch and -- as coaches implore their receivers every day in practice -- quickly turned upfield. He split two defenders at the goal line for the score.

"It's kind of like getting your first kiss, times a thousand," Miller said.

The Broncos say Miller is like Moore -- eerily calm, even in the middle of fulfilling a longtime dream. Even with 73,614 screaming fans in the stands, a national TV audience at home and two standout cornerbacks across the line of scrimmage.

"You think Kellen has no emotion," Petersen said. "Matt takes it to a new low."

Like Burroughs, the Meridian High grad who struggled to find a place in the passing game the past two seasons but showed his potential as a punt returner. He was the best receiver in fall camp, and on Saturday he proved that was no fluke.

"Just more confidence," he said. "When you get more reps, you get in a groove and get a feel. You start to get more comfortable doing things."

Pease, who coached the receivers the past five years, saw this coming. He highlighted Burroughs in an interview with the Idaho Statesman last week.

"I've just seen so much more consistency and a better job catching the ball with his hands," Pease said. "... He just kind of stepped up to the occasion and understood when it's time to make plays."

Like Linehan, another can't-miss recruit. He'll benefit from the presence of Efaw, who opened his senior year with one of the best performances of his career. Combined, the two tight ends provided about a third of the Broncos' production in the pass game.

"We've just got so many guys right now who contribute that it's awesome," Burroughs said. "... It's just really fun."

Still, the group faces some questions as it prepares for a Sept. 16 game at Toledo. The Broncos were 4-of-12 on third down against Georgia, an uncharacteristic weakness.

Sophomore Geraldo Boldewijn, who was supposed to serve as the primary deep threat, was one of three players from Amsterdam left home while their eligibility is reviewed.

And Moore, who had an uncanny connection with Young on deep balls last year, never attempted a pass of more than 25 yards.

"We had plays called, but we knew with the coverage they were playing it would take that deep route out of it," Pease said. "We kind of knew we were going to have to take the under stuff."

So Moore did.

And he had help. The offensive line, with three sophomores on the field most of the game, provided time. The receivers found the holes in the zone and they repeatedly turned those short passes over the middle into first downs.

Moore was 28-of-34 for 261 yards and three touchdowns with one interception. He wasn't sacked.

"(The offensive line) allowed us to find those holes in the defense," Miller said, "and obviously with Kellen he can pick a defense apart pretty easily."
