RUSTON, La. - Kellen Moore threw for 354 yards and three touchdowns, and No. 5 Boise State survived a brief scare on the road with a 45-35 victory over upstart Louisiana Tech last night.
Tech pulled to within 30-28 early in the fourth quarter on Dennis Morris' leaping catch in the corner of the end zone. The Broncos' defense buckled down long enough after that for Boise State to pull away with touchdowns on consecutive drives, the second score coming on Jeremy Avery's 44-yard touchdown run.
Avery finished with 146 yards rushing, while Titus Young caught eight passes for 110 yards and a touchdown for Boise State (9-0, 4-0 Western Athletic Conference).
Meyer fined. Florida coach Urban Meyer was fined $30,000 by the Southeastern Conference for criticizing officials.
The penalty came two days after Meyer said referees missed a late hit against quarterback Tim Tebow in No. 1 Florida's 41-17 win over Georgia.
Meyer issued a statement of apology after the fine.
Stanford injury. George Snyder, the Cardinal's top linebacker, suffered a season-ending knee injury in practice Tuesday.
He led the team with 61 tackles and had started 42 of 44 games in his career.
Coaches' poll. The final regular-season ballot of every voter in the USA Today college football coaches' poll will remain public.
The coaches had considered making those votes confidential.
Noteworthy. The Air Force Academy will hold a moment of silence in honor of the shooting victims at Fort Hood in Texas before today's Army-Air Force game in the outskirts of Colorado Springs, Colo.
