LARAMIE — Freshman quarterback Brett Smith rushed for two touchdowns and threw for another TD in lifting Wyoming over New Mexico 31-10 on Saturday.
Smith finished with 140 yards rushing on only 12 carries. It was his first 100-yard game with the bowl-eligible Cowboys, who close with conference games against Boise State and Colorado State.
Smith also completed 23-of-38 passes for 212 yards, including a 26-yard TD toss, on a blustery day in which the wind chill was 10 degrees.
His 352 total yards marked the fifth time Smith has produced more than 300 total yards this season.
B.R. Holbrook passed for 162 yards and rushed for a touchdown to lead New Mexico, which saw its losing streak on the road extended to 21 games.
No. 10 Boise State 52, San Diego State 35
SAN DIEGO — Kellen Moore completed 28-of-40 passes for 366 yards and four touchdowns, three to Tyler Shoemaker, and the Aztecs remained winless in 19 games against Associated Press top-10 teams since 1969.
It was Moore’s 23rd straight game with multiple touchdown passes, the longest current streak in Division I.
With 13,782 yards, Moore moved past Philip Rivers, formerly of North Carolina State and currently of the San Diego Chargers, for sixth place in Division I career passing yards.
His four TD passes gave him 134 for his career, moving him into a second-place tie in Division I with Graham Harrell of Texas Tech (2005-08).
