Landover, MD (Sports Network) - Kellen Moore's 13-yard touchdown pass to Austin Pettis with 1:09 remaining in the game provided third-ranked Boise State with a thrilling 33-30 win over No. 10 Virginia Tech in an action-packed season-opener for both schools. It was an incredible night for Pettis. The senior wide receiver blocked a punt and caught a second touchdown pass for the Broncos (1-0), who last year became just the second team in NCAA history to record a 14-0 season, capping it with a 17-10 win over TCU in the Fiesta Bowl. Playing out of the Western Athletic Conference for a last season, the Broncos have already started the debate if they can be BCS busters this year and reach the national title game. They accomplished the first step against what should be BSU's only ranked opponent this season. Moore completed 23-of-38 passes for 215 yards, while D.J. Harper gained 80 yards on four carries, including a 71- yard TD run. Virginia Tech QB Tyrod Taylor ended 15-of-22 for 186 yards and two scores, but he was sacked three times. Jarrett Boykin had six catches for 102 yards and a TD, while Ryan Williams scored three times - two on rushes and one via reception. Taylor also rushed for 73 yards for the Hokies (0-1), who are coming off a 10-3 season last year when they downed Tennessee in the Chick- Fil-A Bowl.
