SAN JOSE, Calif. — Colin Kaepernick ran for 115 yards and three touchdowns to lead Nevada to a 62-7 victory over San Jose State last night.

Vai Taua had 138 of his 144 yards rushing in the first half and scored a touchdown as the Wolf Pack (6-3, 5-0 Western Athletic Conference) won its sixth straight after losing the first three games of the season.

Luke Lippincott ran for 112 yards and two touchdowns, and Lampford Mark added 114 yards and a score. The Wolf Pack tied an NCAA record by having four 100-yard rushers in the same game. Nebraska also did it in 2001 against Baylor.

Other teams to get four rushers 100 yards were Army in 1984, Texas in 1969, and Arizona State in 1951.

L.J. Washington caught a 46-yard touchdown pass. Kaepernick threw for 122 yards and a score.

The Wolf Pack gained 517 yards on the ground, second in the NCAA this year only to the 559 it ran for against UNLV.

Jordan La Secla threw for 226 yards as the Spartans (1-7, 0-4) lost their seventh straight conference game, including their last five at home. Patrick Perry scored on a 1-yard run in the fourth quarter.

BCS STANDINGS

TCU RISES TO NO. 4

All those blowouts have carried TCU to unprecedented heights in the BCS standings, giving the Horned Frogs hope — however slim — of becoming the first BCS buster to break into the national championship game.

TCU took over fourth place in the Bowl Championship Series standings yesterday behind Florida, Alabama and Texas. It's the highest BCS ranking ever for a team from a conference without an automatic bid to the big-money bowl games. No potential BCS buster had ever done better than sixth in the BCS standings.

Florida is first for the fourth straight week, and Alabama and Texas switched spots for the second week in a row.

TCU (.8620) moved up two spots and is just ahead of Cincinnati (.8579) and Boise State (.8125). Each is 9-0 with three games left.

TCU has been rising by racking up lopsided victories. The Horned Frogs have won their last four games by an average score of 44-8.

BCS analyst Jerry Palm said TCU, even if the teams in front of it lose and the Frogs keep winning, still could have a hard time getting into the BCS title game.

"If they have to vote for No. 2, are they going to vote for a TCU team ahead of an 11-1 Georgia Tech or a 12-1 Alabama if their only loss is to Florida?" Palm said.
