No. 15 Boise St. trips Hawaii

Broncos shut down Warriors to stay unbeaten

Kellen Moore threw three touchdown passes, and cornerback Brandyn Thompson had three interceptions to lead No. 15 Boise State to a 27-7 victory over Hawaii on Friday night.

The Broncos (6-0, 2-0 Western Athletic Conference) intercepted Hawaii's Inoke Funaki five times, turning three of them into 17 second-half points that put the game away.

The Broncos' smothering defense pressured Funaki all night, sacking him five times and holding the Warriors (3-4, 2-2) to 288 total yards.

Moore finished 25-of-34 for 256 yards. The left-hander's three touchdown passes gave him 16 on the season and 11 over the last four games.
