BOISE, Idaho - Kellen Moore threw for 288 yards and three touchdowns, Doug Martin rumbled for 138 yards and the Broncos overcame a bunch of mistakes to beat the Beavers, 37-24..

But Moore and the Broncos' offense was able to make up for the miscues. Moore tossed two TD passes in the first half, then hit Tyler Shoemaker on a 21-yard scoring strike in the third quarter. Austin Pettis caught a TD and threw a 6-yard TD on a reverse to Tommy Gallarda for Boise State's first score.
Jacquizz Rodgers scored on a 4-yard TD run for Oregon State, but the shifty back was held to 46 yards on 18 carries.
