Boise State's Moore on verge of record

BOISE, Idaho -- No. 5 Boise State survived its first big test of the season Saturday, beating Air Force 37-26 in a game Kellen Moore and the rest of the Broncos' starters for the first time all season had to play the full 60 minutes.

Now Boise State gets a midseason breather with an off week.

The Broncos get some time to heal, ponder their march toward another undefeated season and brace for intensified speculation about their national title hopes and future in some other conference.

There are also some personal milestones for Moore to consider.

With Saturday's win, the Prosser High School grad has 45 career victories, tied for tops in college football with former Texas quarterback Colt McCoy. The Broncos' lefty will have a chance to break the record on Nov. 5 when Boise State (7-0, 2-0 Mountain West Conference) travels to UNLV (1-5, 0-1).

Never one to bask in media attention or take much credit for his team's success, Moore says he'll have plenty of time to reflect on individual records when the season ends.

"When you're on a good team, those things happen," said Moore, whose three TD passes Saturday gave him 123 for his career and pushed him past former BYU standout Ty Detmer for fourth all-time.
