BOISE, Idaho — Though Nevada threatened, there's still no team in the WAC that can conquer Boise State.

Kellen Moore tied his career high with five touchdown passes, three to fill-in fullback Dan Paul, and the No. 6 Broncos remained undefeated with a 44-33 victory over Nevada last night.

With executives with the Sugar, Fiesta and Orange bowls watching — and hearing fans' chants of "BCS! BCS!" through the rain and cold — the Broncos (12-0, 7-0 WAC) withstood the Wolf Pack's rally from 24 points down in the first half.

Boise State, sixth in the latest BCS but far from a lock to earn a bid to the marquee bowls, led 34-26 entering the fourth quarter before Moore's fifth scoring pass, to brother Kirby, clinched its 24th consecutive regular-season win.

"We've taken care of what we can control — and we're excited for whatever happens," Kellen Moore said. "At the same time, we can't control (the BCS)."

Doug Martin ran for 128 yards on 16 carries for the Broncos, who locked up at least a share of their seventh WAC championship in eight seasons. They have one more home date against lowly New Mexico State before BCS bids are announced next weekend.

"Let's hope the system should work like it should," Broncos coach Chris Petersen said on the field immediately after the game.

Maybe the BCS should compute this: Boise State is 72-4 this decade.

"In South Florida, there's a lot of buzz over TCU and Boise," Orange Bowl executive director Eric Poms said at halftime during his first-ever trip to Boise.

Resilient Nevada absorbed a 95-yard touchdown return on the opening kickoff by Boise State's Titus Young and being in a 27-3 hole after 20 minutes. The Wolf Pack closed within 27-19 in the third quarter on a 37-yard field goal by Ricky Drake.

Kyle Brotzman kicked a 27-yard field goal to put the Broncos up 37-26 with 10:55 left, before the clinching Moore-to-Moore connection.

Kellen Moore, the nation's leader in passing efficiency, finished 17 of 33 for 262 yards.
