Graham Harrell and Michael Crabtree hooked up for an 82-yard touchdown pass and Eric Morris returned a punt 86 yards for a score to lead No. 12 Texas Tech to a 35-19 victory over Nevada on Saturday night in Reno, Nev.

Shannon Woods also ran for two touchdowns for the Red Raiders (2-0).

Nevada (1-1) appeared to take a 15-14 lead in the third quarter on quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s 3-yard score and the officials signaled touchdown, but after a lengthy review, they overturned the decision and ruled he had fumbled.

(14) Kansas 29, Louisiana Tech 0: At Lawrence, Kan., Dezmon Briscoe broke six tackles to turn a short pass into a 48-yard touchdown, and Todd Reesing threw for career-high 412 yards and three scores as the Jayhawks (2-0) beat the Bulldogs (1-1).

Coming off a 40-10 win over Florida International, Kansas was hoping to avoid a letdown against Louisiana Tech before facing No. 17 South Florida next week in Tampa.

Nebraska 35, San Jose State 12: At Lincoln, Neb., Niles Paul ran back a kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter as the Cornhuskers (2-0) broke open a close game and went on to beat the Spartans (1-1).
