WAC weekend wrap-up
|
Colorado 63, San Jose State 35 |
|
Having been embarrassed by rival Colorado St. in a lopsided game last weekend, the Buffs (1-1) went storming out to a 28-0 lead and never looked back, as they cruised to a 63-35 win. Quaterback Mike Moschetti threw for a school-record 465 yards, two touchdown passes and ran for a third score. Cortlen Johnson ran for 104 yards and three scores for the winners. |
|
Northwestern 17, Texas Christian 7 |
|
After a sterling performance against Arizona, the Horned Frogs went into Evanston as the favorite against the Big Ten's Wildcats and laid an egg. As they did in the narrow loss to Arizona, big plays killed TCU. Northwestern's Sam Simmons returned a punt 87 yards for a first-quarter TD. |
|
No. 6 Michigan 37, Rice 3 |
|
For the second straight week Rice was unable to get the ball in the end zone and reaped the consequences. The Owls actually out-rushed the Wolverines (142-132), but managed just 15 yards through the air and had twice as many passes intercepted (two) as completed (one). |
|
Oklahoma State 46, Tulsa 9 |
|
Ethan Howell caught five passes for 107 yards for Oklahoma State, which wasted little time in blasting the Golden Hurricane. |
|
Oregon 47, Texas-El Paso 28 |
|
Oregon's A.J. Feeley threw three TD passes and Reuben Droughns rushed for 108 yards as the Ducks survived a game UTEP squad, which got 106 rushing yards from Paul Smith, who now has 246 on the year. . |
|
Oregon State 46, Fresno State 23 |
|
For the second straight week Oregon State's Ken Simonton ran wild and the Beavers picked up a victory because of it. After running for 199 last week, Simonton went for 178 against the Bulldogs and also caught a pass for 22 yards. Fresno State took a quick lead when Billy Volek hit Rodney Wright with a 25-yard pass, but the Beavers went out to score 14 unanswered points -- including four from safeties -- and never trailed again. |
|
Tulane 53, Southern Methodist 19 |
|
Patrick Ramsey connected on TD passes of 6, 26 and 8 yards to Adrian Burnette and Tulane got back in the win column after having their 13-game streak snapped last week by Southern Miss. |
|
Hawaii 31, Eastern Illinois 27 |
|
It wasn't easy, but the Rainbows broke their 19-game losing streak against the Division I-AA Panthers, who got out to a 10-0 lead before being reeled in. |
