BOISE, Idaho — Kellen Moore overcame a shaky first quarter to throw for 333 yards and four touchdowns, and No. 3 Boise State handed Fresno State its first shutout in 12 years with a dominating 51-0 win on Friday night.

Moore threw an interception and fumbled in the first quarter. He responded by dissecting the Fresno State secondary, regularly finding his favorite targets — Titus Young and Austin Pettis — wide open. Young and Pettis both caught two touchdowns and Young became the school's all-time leader in yards receiving on his 42-yard TD catch in the second quarter.

Moore, just a junior, moved past Ryan Dinwiddie to become Boise State's all-time leader in yards passing.

Boise State (10-0, 6-0 WAC) extended the nation's longest win streak to 24.

But Moore's effort was nearly overshadowed by a defense that held Fresno State (6-4, 4-3) to just 125 total yards and nine first downs.
