Georgia Bulldogs sophomore quarterback Aaron Murray was solid on Saturday night, but it was obvious all game long that he was up against a guy in a different class. Kellen Moore was the star of the show for the Boise State Broncos, completing 28-34 passes to nine different receivers, throwing for 261 yards and three touchdowns. It was a spectacular performance that will get his Heisman campaign rolling, as he lead Boise to a 35-21 victory at the Georgia Dome.
Georgia Vs. Boise State: Final Score, Kellen Moore, Broncos Defense Lead BSU To 35-21 Win
Brandon Boykin was a factor on defense all night long and his 80 yard touchdown run in the first half kept things interesting for Georgia for a while, but BSU asserted themselves as the better team in the third quarter, as Moore quickly lead his team to two touchdowns, turning a 14-7 halftime lead into a 28-7 lead very quickly in the third quarter.
Orson Charles scored on an impressive 38-yard TD pass at the end of the third quarter, but Boise quickly answered them with another touchdown to open the fourth quarter. Georgia responded even quicker with a 51-yard touchdown pass between Murray and Malcolm Mitchell, but the scoring would end there. Boise's defense woke up and was just too good for Murray and his teammates in the end, shutting them out in the final 10 minutes.
Thanks to Oregon and LSU’s decisions to play each other, Boise will move up at least one spot in next week’s rankings. There are difficult tames ahead, but this was probably the toughest game on BSU’s schedule, and they’re well on their way to another BCS berth.
