FRIDAY’s COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAMES

Colorado 38, UCLA 16

BOULDER, COLO.

Steven Montez was 22-of-26 passing for 237 yards and a touchdown and ran for two more scores to lead Colorado over UCLA. Montez rushed for 81 yards and Laviska Shenault Jr. caught a career-best 12 passes for 126 yards and a touchdown and ran for another score for Colorado (4-0, 1-0 Pac-12). Joshua Kelley ran for 124 yards and Dorian Thompson-Robinson had a touchdown pass for UCLA (0-4, 0-1). The Bruins have lost their first four games for the first time since 1971. UCLA went ahead 10-7 on an 11-yard pass from Thompson-Robinson to Michael Ezeike and a short field goal. JJ Molson hit from 50 yards at the end of the first half, and then gave UCLA a 16-14 lead with a 40-yard field goal early in the third. But it was all Colorado after that. Shenault, who scored the Buffaloes’ first touchdown on a 57-yard reception, scored on a 1-yard touchdown run to make it 21-16. Travon McMillian, who had 102 yards rushing, scored from 6 yards out for a 28-16 lead and Montez put it away with a 35-yard rushing touchdown in the fourth.

NEW ORLEANS

Darius Bradwell and Corey Dauphine each had two touchdowns and Tulane beat Memphis to snap an 11-game losing streak in the series. The Tulane defense, allowing 491.5 yards per game, held Memphis to 277 yards — including just 51 rushing yards for the national leader Darrell Henderson. The Green Wave had eight sacks after entering with just six on the season. Bradwell carried it 19 times for 143 yards and Dauphine added 87 yards for Tulane (2-3, 1-0 American Athletic Conference). Bradwell, a junior, had a career-high 103 yards rushing in the first half, including a 53-yard touchdown. Dauphine and Bradwell scored on back-to-back possessions in the fourth quarter to make it 40-14. Henderson, averaging 177.3 rushing yards per game, scored twice — including a 43- yard catch-and-run to pull Memphis within 17-14.

Rhode Island 23, Harvard 16

CAMBRIDGE, MASS.

JaJuan Lawson threw for 153 yards and a touchdown and added a rushing score in Rhode Island’s victory over Harvard. Rhode Island intercepted two passes in the final four minutes to seal it. Captain D.J. Stewart intercepted an overthrown pass with 3:17 left in the fourth quarter, but Lawson threw his only interception two plays later. Harvard couldn’t take advantage as Justin Hogan made an easy interception over the middle. Isaiah Coulter had six catches for 106 yards, his third straight game with 100-plus, for Rhode Island (3-1). Rhode Island opened the scoring with a safety as Harvard botched a punt. It was Rhode Island’s first safety in 91 games, dating to 2010. Ahmere Dorsey, who returned the opening kickoff 51 yards, took the second-half kickoff 97 yards to give Rhode Island a 23-6 lead. It was Rhode Island’s first kick return for a touchdown in 16 games. Harvard (2-1) was held to four first downs and 50 total yards in the first half. Devin Darrington zig-zagged his way to a career-long 36-yard touchdown to cap the scoring with 13:47 remaining in the fourth.
