SEATTLE (AP) - Keith Price wore his familiar grin and danced along with the beats playing through his headphones as he departed for an evening of celebration.

Despite how it got there, a 2-0 start and six straight wins for a Washington program just three years removed from a winless season is a pretty heady start.

Price connected on his first eight passes en route to a career-high 315 yards and four touchdowns, and Washington used a blistering start to hold off Hawaii's late rally for a 40-32 win on Saturday afternoon.

NMSU 28,

MINNESOTA 21

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - New Mexico State's 28-21 victory at Minnesota on Saturday afternoon was overshadowed by a health scare for Gophers head coach Jerry Kill, who had an apparent seizure on the sideline and was taken from the stadium by ambulance with seconds left in the game.

Andrew Manley passed for 288 yards and three touchdowns for the Aggies (1-1), who beat a Big Ten team for the first tim.

LA. TECH 48,

C.ARKANSAS 42

RUSTON, La. (AP) - Lennon Creer ran for 177 yards on 32 carries, including the winning touchdown in overtime, as Louisiana Tech outlasted Central Arkansas.

After a 42-42 tie in regulation, Central Arkansas got the ball first, but its drive stalled and Adrien Cole blocked Eddie Camara's 39-yard field goal attempt.

When the Bulldogs (1-1) took over, Creer burst 23 yards on the first play to the Bears' 2-yard line, and he scored from the 1 two plays later.

UTAH STATE 54,

WEBER STATE 17

LOGAN, Utah (AP) - Chuckie Keeton passed for 166 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 53 yards and another score as Utah State topped rival Weber State.

IDAHO 44, N. DAKOTA 14

MOSCOW, Idaho (AP) - Idaho quarterback Brian Reader threw for 299 yards and four touchdowns as Idaho rebounded from its season-opening loss, defeating North Dakota.

UCLA 27, San Jose St. 17

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) - Derrick Coleman rushed for 135 yards - all in the second half - and UCLA survived a lackluster performance to beat San Jose State 27-17 Saturday night, handing the Spartans their 24th loss in 27 games dating back to the beginning of the 2009 season.
