CFB: Ault wins No. 200 as Nevada beats Louisiana Tech


Associated Press

RENO, Nev. — Colin Kaepernick passed for three touchdowns and ran for two more, including a 67-yarder, to help Nevada beat Louisiana Tech 37-14 on Friday night for coach Chris Ault's 200th career victory.

Kaepernick finished with 166 yards passing and 89 yards rushing, and Vai Taua added 107 yards on the ground for Nevada (2-3, 1-0 Western Athletic Conference) in its fifth straight victory over the Bulldogs (2-3, 1-1).

Louisiana Tech was coming off a 27-6 win over Hawaii.

Daniel Porter ran for 99 yards and two touchdowns, including one for 64 yards for Louisiana Tech, which ran for only 15 yards in the first half and was held to 256 yards total offense for the game to Nevada's 511.

Kaepernick, a junior, is one of only 13 players in NCAA history to rush for 2,000 yards and pass for 4,000 yards in his career.
