Rutgers, Wyoming win as bowl season kicks off

Rutgers extended its string of postseason success with a 45-24 rout of Central Florida in the St. Petersburg Bowl as college football's bowl season began Saturday.

Receiver Mohamed Sanu ran for two touchdowns out of the wildcat formation and also scored on an 11-yard reception from quarterback Tom Savage, who threw for a career-best 294 yards.

Rutgers claimed a school-record fourth consecutive bowl win to finish with at least nine victories for just the sixth time in 140 years. UCF fell to 0-3 in bowl games under coach George O'Leary.

Wyoming 35, Fresno State 28, OT

In Albuquerque, New Mexico, quarterback Austyn Carta-Samuels threw three touchdown passes, the last a 13-yarder to David Leonard in the second overtime as Wyoming snuck home in the New Mexico Bowl.

The first of 34 bowls over the next month was a high-scoring matchup that was decided by defense.

Wyoming stopped the nation's leading rusher, Fresno State's Ryan Mathews, on three rushing attempts from the 1-yard line in the first overtime. Fresno State tried a quarterback sneak on fourth down and came up short.

The Cowboys scored on the first possession in double overtime, then held Fresno State on downs.
