The game was delayed momentarily with 57 seconds remaining by a power outage. After it resumed, Johnson came up with his second interception of the night.

(13) Oklahoma 64, Idaho St. 0: Freshman quarterback Landry Jones threw three TD passes in his first career start and the Sooners routed the Bengals at Norman, Okla.

Portland St. 34, S. Oregon 10: Drew Hubel passed for 370 yards and four touchdowns as the Vikings overpowered the Raiders (1-1) at Portland.
