HONOLULU — Kellen Moore threw a career-best five touchdown passes and No. 6 Boise State forced turnover after turnover in a dominating 54-9 victory over Hawaii on Saturday night to remain unbeaten and in the BCS race.
The Broncos (7-0, 2-0 Western Athletic Conference) looked confident and sharp, building a 44-0 lead by the third quarter behind their stifling defense. For the night, the Broncos forced six turnovers that led to 30 points.
Jeron Johnson intercepted two passes and also recovered a fumble on Hawaii’s opening drive that ignited Boise State’s scoring performance.
Moore was 18 of 30 for 223 yards. Four of his scoring throws came in the first half.
Titus Young had eight catches for 115 yards and three TDs, including a 48-yarder in the third quarter.
Meanwhile, the year continued to get uglier for the injury-plauged Warriors (2-5, 0-4), who have lost five straight for the first time since 1998.
