RENO, Nev., Nov. 25 (UPI) -- Ian Johnson rushed for 147 yards and three touchdowns Saturday as 12th-ranked Boise State beat Nevada, 38-7, to win the Western Athletic Conference title.

Johnson sat out last week's game against Utah State with a partially collapsed left lung, which he suffered two weeks ago against San Jose State.

The Broncos (12-0, 8-0 WAC) have gone undefeated in the conference four out of the last five years and have won at least a share of the league title in each of the last five years.

Boise State quarterback Jared Zabransky completed 20-of-27 passes for 299 yards.

Nevada's Jeff Rowe was just 6-of-15 for 35 yards and was sacked four times. Robert Hubbard rushed for 105 yards for the Wolf Pack (8-4, 5-3), who had their five-game win streak end.
