BOISE, Idaho -- Jeremy McNichols rushed for 158 yards and two touchdowns, Alex Mattison had a career-high 100 yards rushing and one touchdown, and No. 24 Boise State beat San Jose State 45-31 on Friday night.The Broncos (8-1, 4-1) had two players over 100 yards on the ground in one game for the first time since Nov. 8, 2014, against New Mexico.San Jose State (3-7, 2-4), looking to get consecutive wins for the first time this season, finished with 495 yards of offense behind Kenny Potters 23-of-36 passing for 278 yards.After suffering a gut-wrenching loss last week to Wyoming on a safety in the waning minutes of the game, Boise State looked sluggish in the first quarter as it held a 7-6 lead.However, the Broncos got the spark they needed with a little razzle dazzle. On fourth-and-12 from the Boise State 37, Broncos punter Sean Wale took the snap and raced 29 yards for a first down.Finally after four years, I had a chance to do something so I had to make the most of it, Wale said. It was my one chance to shine, and I certainly wasnt sliding. But I didnt really know what to do once I got into the open field.Three plays later, Mattison scored on a 19-yard run to extend Boise States lead to 14-6.It couldve been a stop on downs for us if wed been able to make the play, San Jose State coach Ron Caragher said. But we didnt and it changed the momentum of the game.I was very proud of this teams response after last weeks loss, Boise State coach Bryan Harsin said. We have to stay focused on what we can control and try to go out and play our best each and every week.San Jose State kept the pressure on Boise State, edging within 14-13 with 10 minutes remaining in the first half. But that was as close as the Spartans would get as the Broncos took control of the game.Boise State learned a powerful lesson last week, and they got back to running the football and controlling the line of scrimmage behind their big offensive line, Caragher said.Boise State, which finished with 517 total yards of offense, had a season-high 298 yards rushing. McNichols performance was his seventh 100-plus yard game this season and fourth in a row.Malik Roberson led the Spartans on the ground with 109 yards and a touchdown, his second 100-yard game of the season.TAKEAWAYSSan Jose State: The loss squelched the Spartans chances of becoming bowl eligible, but they still have a chance to finish strong after a 1-5 start. Their final two opponents, Air Force and Fresno State, have combined for only two conference wins.Boise State: The Broncos no longer control their own fate in the Mountain division, but the victory keeps their hopes alive. They still need either Wyoming to lose two games or New Mexico to win out to win the division.UP NEXTSan Jose State: The Spartans take a week off before returning home to host Air Force on Nov. 19.Boise State: The Broncos will take travel to Hawaii next Saturday in a conference tilt.Cheap Soccer Jerseys Authentic .

Few have done it, not even the Gators (8-2).What we have to do is not let him do what he likes to do, and thats hit the edge and get going, Sherit said. He does have tremendous speed, so weve got to limit the perimeter and stuff like that and just wrap up and tackle.Sounds simple. Seems unlikely.A junior from Miami, Cook has 1,467 yards rushing and 17 touchdowns this season. He has topped the 100-yard mark seven times in his last eight games and has torched the Gators the last two years.He ran 24 times for 144 yards against Florida as a freshman in 2014. He carried 26 times for 183 yards and two touchdowns last year in Gainesville.The guy can run behind his pads the way hes built and yet he can give you that side-to-side jump cut and get to top speed so quickly, Gators coach Jim McElwain said. You cant blink. You got to keep your head up and you got to wrap this guy up. We got to get people around the ball because hes going to make some guys miss and thats what makes him so special.The Gators have had mixed results against the run this season. They shut down Georgias Chubb (9 carries, 20 yards) and LSUs Fournette (12-40), and limited LSUs Guice to 83 yards on 19 carries.But they also struggled to contain Vanderbilts Ralph Webb, Missouris Damarea Crockett and Arkansas Williams. Three of Floridas last three opponents -- Missouri, Arkansas and LSU -- topped 200 yards rushing.Now, it could be Cooks turn.He can move a little better, Gators linebacker Kylan Johnson said. He is a good, balanced back. ... Im up for the challenge. We are all up for a challenge. So we will be ready.Johnson is one of several Florida players thrust into the starting lineup because of injuries. The Gators willl be without their top three tacklers -- linebacker Jarrad Davis, linebacker Alex Anzalone and safety Marcus Maye -- for the second straight week.dddddddddddd Safety Nick Washington (ankle) will join them on the sideline Saturday.So Johnson, fellow linebackers David Reese and Vosean Joseph, safety Marcell Harris and now safety Chauncey Gardner will be charged with helping slow down Cook.But it really starts up front, where defensive tackle Caleb Brantley and defensive end CeCe Jefferson have emerged as guys who can penetrate the backfield on every play and have to be accounted for before every snap.The same could be said for Cook, who bounced back from a slow first three games of the season and was named a finalist for the Doak Walker Award, given annually to the nations top running back.It just shows you always dont get the start you want, Cook said. There were plays to be made. Its all about how you finish. I think we are doing a good job of finishing the season well, finish strong. That is going to be the key to everything.Last week at Syracuse, Cook ran for 225 yards and a school-record-tying four touchdowns. He also broke Warrick Dunns 20-year-old school record for career rushing yards. Cook now tops the list with 4,166 and counting.With two games remaining, he could break his own single-season school records for rushing yards (1,691) and all-purpose yards (1,935).Another big game against Florida would go a long way toward making it happen. The Gators are wary, especially since Cook has more 40-yard plays (eight) this season than Florida does as a team (seven).This guy is fun to watch, McElwain said. I wish at times when youre watching it that you werent preparing to play it, that you were just watching it for the pure joy of watching a good player. I just think this guys as good as there is in the country. ... The sheer numbers dont lie. You talk about explosive, its a real deal.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
