MADISON, Wis. — John Clay ran for 137 yards and two touchdowns, and No. 11 Wisconsin beat San Jose State 27-14 on Saturday in a game overshadowed by the sight of teammate David Gilreath being taken off the field on a stretcher.

It was Clay's eighth straight 100-yard rushing game as the Badgers won their 15th straight home opener and improved to 13-0 in nonconference regular-season games under coach Bret Bielema.

Wisconsin (2-0) didn't look much sharper than in its season-opening win at UNLV, but the sloppy performance wasn't nearly as concerning as the injury to Gilreath.

The senior took a punt in the third quarter and was hit almost immediately by Peyton Thompson, who lifted Gilreath up slightly. As Gilreath was being driven back, Dominique Hunsucker came in from behind, appearing to make incidental helmet-to-helmet contact.

Gilreath was down for nearly 10 minutes before he was removed on a stretcher, and the school said he had a concussion but could not provide any other details.

Clay, the reigning Big Ten offensive player of the year, has 260 yards and four touchdowns so far this season. Scott Tolzien was 15-of-22 for 191 yards with a touchdown, interception and three fumbles against the Spartans.

No. 6 NEBRASKA 38, IDAHO 17: At Lincoln, Neb., Taylor Martinez ran for 157 yards and two touchdowns, Nebraska's defense intercepted Nathan Enderle five times and had seven sacks and the sixth-ranked Cornhuskers defeated the Vandals.

DeJon Gomes and Rickey Thenarse each ran back interceptions for touchdowns as the defense carried the day for the Huskers (2-0), whose offense was productive but mistake-prone against the overmatched Vandals (1-1).

Martinez went over 100 yards for the second straight game and Roy Helu Jr. added 107 yards and a touchdown for Nebraska.

The Huskers' Blackshirt defense made it a brutal day for Enderle, who grew up rooting for the Huskers and was playing in his home state for the first time since high school. The fifth-year senior from North Platte was sacked five times, and he threw three of his five interceptions on consecutive possessions in the second quarter. Nebraska converted each of those second-quarter picks into touchdowns to go up 31-3 at half.

HAWAII 31, ARMY 28: At West Point, N.Y., Scott Enos kicked a 31-yard field goal with 7.3 seconds remaining and Hawaii edged Army.

The Warriors won after Kamalu Umu forced Black Knights quarterback Max Jenkins to fumble at the Hawaii 27-yard line with 24.3 seconds remaining.

Officials originally ruled that Jenkins was down for a 1-yard rush before video replays overturned the call.

Hawaii quarterback Bryant Moniz was 25-for-36 for 343 yards passing. He started the game 17-for-22 for 239 yards and three touchdowns in staking Hawaii to a 21-0 lead less than four minutes into the second quarter.

Kealoha Pilares caught six passes for 104 yards and a touchdown for the Warriors.

Moniz completed passes of 13 and 31 yards on the winning drive, which was aided by a 15-yard personal foul call against Steven Erzinger.
