LAS CRUCES, N.M. (Sports Network) - Kellen Moore threw three touchdown passes in limited playing time as No. 3 Boise State produced a 59-0 dismantling of New Mexico State.
Moore connected on 13-of-18 throws for 196 yards with two of his scores going to Kyle Efaw. Doug Martin caught a touchdown pass and rushed for another score in gaining 94 yards on 10 touches as BSU ran its winning streak to 18 consecutive games.
Jeremy Avery, Jarvis Hodge and Mike Coughlin each logged a rushing TD for the Broncos (4-0, 1-0 WAC), who dispatched of nationally ranked Oregon State last weekend in their home opener, a game that figures to be the team's last significant test until a November 26 tilt at Nevada.
Boise State held a whopping 608-208 advantage in total yards of offense.
Matt Christian was 5-of-14 passing for 63 yards with an interception for the Aggies (0-4, 0-1), who have dropped 11 consecutive games, the third-longest active slide in the nation behind only Western Kentucky (24 losses) and Eastern Michigan (17).
The game was essentially over with 15 minutes in the books and Boise up 24-0.
The Broncos opening drive of 67 yards was the longest of four scoring ventures in the first quarter. Moore had consecutive completions of 17 and 15 yards to Titus Young and two plays later Coughlin ran it in for a 15-yard touchdown less than four minutes in.
Christian's interception deep in Aggie territory had Martin back in the end zone on a one-yard score under three minutes later.
Kyle Brotzman later kicked a 32-yard field goal and Christian fumbled it away on a sack by Michael Atkinson a short time later leading to Avery's 18-yard touchdown run.
New Mexico State again turned it over on a fumble near midfield and Moore needed just two plays in tossing a 41-yard TD to Efaw for a 31-0 lead eight seconds into the second quarter.
Boise State was finally held off the scoreboard on its sixth drive of the game, but was back in business on the seventh as Moore and Martin hooked up on a 28-yard score for a 38-0 game at halftime.
It was more of the same to start the second half, as Efaw reeled in his second touchdown -- a 26-yarder -- to cap a quick 71-yard drive with less than 2 1/2 minutes gone by.
Freshman Joe Southwick took over under center from there, and on his second turn directing the offense, aired it out 78 yards to Chris Potter for a touchdown to make it 52-0 after three quarters of play.
Hodge's 54-yard run to paydirt with under two minutes to play polished off the lopsided win.
