Air Force plows through snow to beat Wolf Pack in overtime
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Shayne Davern ran for two touchdowns, including the decisive score in overtime, and Air Force hung on to beat UNR 45-38 on a snowy Saturday for its fourth win in a row.
Kale Pearson matched his career high with three touchdown passes, two to Jalen Robinette, and ran for a key fourth-quarter score for Air Force (8-2, 4-2 Mountain West), helping the Falcons remain unbeaten in five games at home this season.
Don Jackson ran for 123 yards and three touchdowns for UNR (6-4, 3-3), which had its three-game winning streak snapped.
The Wolf Pack also lost wide receiver Hasaan Henderson to injury. Henderson, a sophomore from Las Vegas High, had just made a 6-yard catch late in the fourth quarter and was brought down hard on a field partially covered with snow. He lay motionless, and the game was stopped for several minutes while medical personnel tended to him. He was strapped to a backboard, lifted gingerly onto a gurney and wheeled off the field.
There was no immediate word on the nature of the injury.
The game included five ties, the last on a 22-yard field goal by Brent Zuzo amid snow flurries with 12 seconds remaining in regulation.
■ Utah State 28, New Mexico 21 — At Logan, Utah, Kent Myers threw for 150 yards and a touchdown to help the Aggies (8-3, 5-1) beat the Lobos (3-7, 1-5).
JoJo Natson, Devonte Robinson and LaJuan Hunt each ran for a score for Utah State.
Lamar Jordan threw for 154 yards and a score for New Mexico.
■ Hawaii 13, San Jose State 0 — At San Jose, Calif., the Rainbow Warriors (3-8, 2-4) snapped a 17-game road losing streak and a four-game skid overall by shutting out the Spartans (3-7, 2-4).
The victory was the first road win for coach Norm Chow at Hawaii. The Rainbow Warriors’ last win on the road was at Idaho in October 2011.
Tyler Hadden kicked a 36-yard field goal in the second quarter and added a 32-yarder in the fourth. Joey Iosefa scored from the 1 for the game’s only touchdown late in the first half.
