RENO, Nev. — Kellen Moore threw for 414 yards and three touchdowns and No. 9 Boise State kept the nation's best rushing offense in check, beating Nevada 41-34 today to remain undefeated.

Moore threw for 319 yards by halftime and the Broncos led 24-3 lead.

Ian Johnson broke free for a 66-yard touchdown run in the third quarter for Boise State, which turned back a late Nevada rally to clinch its sixth WAC title in seven years. The Broncos (10-0, 7-0 WAC) close the regular season next Friday at home against Fresno State.

Colin Kaepernick passed for 241 yards and a touchdown and ran for 70 yards for Nevada (6-5, 4-3 WAC).
