Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore has done so much during his Broncos career, from going to a BCS game to becoming a Heisman finalist to throwing for over 3,000 yards in each of his first three seasons as a starter. But perhaps there is no better measure for what he has meant to his team than the mark he is in line to get Saturday at UNLV. Moore is set to pass former Texas quarterback Colt McCoy as the all-time NCAA career wins leader, with 46 victories. The No. 5 Broncos are 41-point favorites and are expected to dominate once again. “I think the No. 1 stat that most coaches and most people care about is the wins or losses,” Boise State coach Chris Petersen said. “Sometimes they’re not always how you draw them up, but at the end of the day that’s probably the most important stat.” Moore, who epitomizes the word humble, has never missed a game in his Boise State career. He said this in July about getting the record: “The victories record is a special one just because that comes with more than just me. I’m smart enough to recognize if I can do that, then George Iloka would probably be the winningest safety. Thomas Byrd would love to be the winningest center. There’s been a lot of guys involved in that run. I think that would be pretty neat.” Here is a by-the-numbers look at Moore during his winning run: First win: Aug. 30, 2008 — 49-7 over Idaho State. Moore went 14-of-19 for 274 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. The Associated Press game story noted, “Becoming the first freshman to start in the season opener for the Broncos, the left-handed Moore used his quick release and rifle arm to complete 14 of 19 passes and no interceptions.” Losses: 2. TCU in 2009 and Nevada in 2010. 300-yard passing games: 13. Included in there: one 500-yard day against Hawaii last season, and two 400-yard games. Only Ryan Dinwiddie (four) had more in school history. Total career touchdown passes: 123. That ranks No. 4 on the NCAA career passing touchdown list. He needs nine to pass Colt Brennan (Hawaii 2004-07) for third place. Multiple TD games: 40. Included are 28 games with three or more, eight with four or more and four with five scoring passes. Moore has thrown for multiple touchdowns in 20 straight games. Total career interceptions: 24. Multiple INT games: 3. 26: Number of games in which he completed over 70 percent of his passes. Five: Number of games in which he completed over 80 percent of his passes. Two came this season: Georgia (82.4 percent) and Colorado State (87.6 percent). 101.6: Worst career passer rating, against Nevada earlier this year in a 30-10 win. Moore went 19-of-33 for 142 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. It was the only game this season he completed less than 70 percent of his passes. 250: Best career passer rating, against San Jose State last year in a 48-0 win. Moore was 14-of-16 for 231 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Texas A&M joined Oklahoma and Oklahoma State as top teams in the Big 12 not flirting with upsets in Week 1. The Aggies played in front of a crowd of 86,951, the largest ever for a season opener and the sixth-largest of all-time. They treated them to exactly what they wanted to see, a 46-14 win . Texas A&M never trailed, and quite frankly, its offense looked unstoppable. Ryan Tannehill & Co. have the league’s most complete attack, and they showcased it against a Mustangs defense that looked helpless at time. Tannehill finished 21-of-26 passing for 246 yards and two touchdowns. Cyrus Gray and Christine Michael each scored two touchdowns and combined for 217 yards on 36 carries. I’m heading down for interviews, but we’ll have a lot more later Sunday tonight.

Aggies take care of business in opener

1. Can something be inevitable and surprising at the same time? As difficult as it was to imagine how Jim Tressel would coach another game at Ohio State, the resignation announcement early on Memorial Day created a sonic boom nonetheless. That is a credit to Tressel’s tenure and to the Buckeye tradition. The only comparable news in recent years has been Urban Meyer’s resignation and unresignation at Florida in Dec. 2009. 2. The last four Ohio State coaches have held the job 10, 13 (John Cooper), 9 (Earle Bruce) and 28 (Woody Hayes) seasons. That is also a tribute to Buckeye tradition. But in an age of impatience and stress, with a looming scenario of long, painful penalty administered by the NCAA, the next coach will step onto the Ohio Stadium sideline down two touchdowns in the game of career longevity. Don’t be surprised if prominent candidates back away from Columbus. 3. While we’re on the subject of long probations, the death of former Texas Gov. Bill Clements over the weekend at age 94 is worth noting. Clements, as a member of the SMU Board of Governors, approved payments to student-athletes and lied to the NCAA about it. He later explained, “Well, there never was a Bible in the room.” That attitude pretty much summed up why SMU got the death penalty and is just now recovering 25 years later.
