Elyria’s Danny Noble caught a 24-yard touchdown pass from Austin Dantin to give Toledo an early lead, but the fourth-ranked team in the nation Boise State routed Toledo 40-15 on Friday night.

Quarterback Kellen Moore threw for 455 yards and five touchdowns to lead Boise State. Moore misfired on his first two throws but didn’t miss many after that, connecting on 32 of 42 passes.

It looked for a while as if Toledo (1-2) might give Boise State a scare just six days after the Rockets came within a play or two of knocking off No. 17 Ohio State. But the Rockets couldn’t stop Moore.
