FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) — Micah Alejado threw three touchdown passes — two to Jackson Harris — and Cam Barfield scored a game-sealing 35-yard touchdown on fourth down to give Hawaii a 31-19 win over Colorado State on Saturday night.

On a fourth-and-1 with 2:49 remaining, Barfield broke a would-be tackle by Jace Bellah to cap the scoring.

The win guarantees Hawaii (6-2, 3-1 Mountain West Conference) will be bowl eligible for the first time under coach Timmy Chang.

Alejado led the Rainbow Warriors to a 24-7 lead with 3:09 remaining in the third quarter. He found Harris twice for scores, highlighted by a 75-yard, one-play drive midway through the second quarter.

Alejado was 26-of-38 passing with 301 yards. Harris had five catches for 109 yards. Nick Cenacle added seven catches for 70 yards and scored the opening touchdown.

Colorado State (2-5, 1-2) was limited to 106 total yards in the first half. The Hawaii defense finished with seven pass breakups, eight tackles for losses, six sacks — including on the Rams' final two plays — and a pair of forced fumbles.

Jackson Brousseau was 15 of 29 for 176 yards passing and a touchdown.

Kansei Matsuzawa’s 26-yard field goal in the third quarter was his 21st consecutive field goal, breaking the Hawaii program record.

Szarka's rushing, Air Force's 2 interceptions snap 5-game losing streak in 24-21 win over Wyoming

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Rodney Hammond Jr. and JaQuail Smith each ran for more than 100 yards, Grant Meadors kicked a pair of fourth-quarter field goals and Sacramento State beat Northern Colorado 40-35 on Saturday night.

Following Meadors' fourth field goal, a 42-yarder with 2:01 to play, Eric Gibson Jr. drove Northern Colorado to the Sacramento State 3 with 30 seconds left but threw an incomplete pass on fourth-and-1.

Meadors' 34-yard field goal gave Sacramento State (4-3, 2-1 Big Sky Conference) a 37-35 lead with 9:30 remaining. He also made field goals from 37 and 28 yards in the first half.

Ricky Lee III's 34-yard pick-6 to start the fourth quarter gave Sacramento State a 34-28 lead. Northern Colorado answered with Gibson's 62-yard touchdown pass to Carver Cheeks for a 35-34 advantage.

Gibson was 21-of-33 passing for 321 yards and threw three touchdowns but four interceptions for Northern Colorado (3-4, 1-2). He also threw a 75-yard TD pass to Cheeks in the second quarter. Cheeks finished with nine catches for 223 yards and three touchdowns.

Broncos activate Dre Greenlaw from injured reserve ahead of Giants game

DENVER (AP) — The Denver Broncos activated prized free agent acquisition Dre Greenlaw from injured reserve Saturday ahead of their game against the New York Giants on Sunday.

Greenlaw has been sidelined since the summer with a quadriceps injury he first incurred during the team's offseason program.

Defensive coordinator Vance Joseph said Thursday that Greenlaw would be on a pitch count whenever he returned to the lineup.

The Broncos (4-2) are seeking their fourth consecutive victory when they host the resurgent Giants (2-4) Sunday at Empower Field, where they're honoring the late Demaryius Thomas, the 38th member of the team's ring of fame.

The Broncos made room on the roster by releasing quarterback Sam Ehlinger, whom they signed back to their practice squad Saturday.

In other moves, the Broncos released defensive back A.J. Woods and wide receiver Thayer Thomas (injury settlement) from their practice squad.

Greenlaw, who signed a three-year, $31.5 million contract with the Broncos this spring after six seasons in San Francisco, returned to practice this week and was limited Wednesday and Thursday before being listed as a full participant Friday, an indication he was ready to come off IR.

As usual when it comes to injuries, coach Sean Payton was coy Friday when asked about Greenlaw, refusing even to say if he was a full participant before the practice report came out later in the day.

Asked at least if he could say he had a good week of practice, Payton said: "Yes, positive. He was able to go and move around, so yes.”

The Broncos said that Justin Strnad, who leads all NFL inside linebackers with 2 1/2 sacks, has earned playing time even upon Greenlaw's return to the lineup.

Denver's defense, which just limited Justin Fields to minus-10 net passing yards in a 13-11 win over the New York Jets in London, figures to step up a notch with Greenlaw healthy.

“Dre looked good out there,” star cornerback Patrick Surtain said after Greenlaw returned to practice Wednesday. “It seems like he's very sharp out there on everything, on the game plan, so I'm very excited for him.”

Nathan MacKinnon scores twice, Avalanche race past Bruins 4-1

DENVER (AP) — Nathan MacKinnon scored twice and the Colorado Avalanche continued their strong start with a 4-1 win over the Boston Bruins on Saturday night.

The Avalanche (5-0-1) have at least a point in all six games this season. It's one of their longest point streaks to begin a season in franchise history. The team record is 11 (9-0-2) in 2000-01 when they went on to win a Stanley Cup title.

Josh Manson also scored and Martin Necas added an empty-net tally with 2:37 remaining. The power play continues to struggle as the Avalanche finished 0 for 5.

Scott Wedgewood stopped 13 shots to earn his league-leading fifth win. He turned in the stop of the night with 13:49 remaining when he made a glove save on a shot from John Beecher.

Beecher had the goal for for the Bruins, who were outshot 38-14 for the game and 16-2 in the second period. Jeremy Swayman stopped 34 shots.

MacKinnon continues to shine on home ice with six points (four goals, two assists) through three games at Ball Arena. He’s led the league in home scoring the past two seasons.

It was also MacKinnon’s 55th career multi-goal game, tying him with Milan Hejduk for fourth-most in Avalanche/Nordiques history.

Beecher gave the vocal Bruins contingent filling the arena an early reason to cheer with a goal 3:11 into the game. Colorado responded with goals from MacKinnon and Manson to take a 2-1 lead after the first period.

Brent Burns set up Manson’s goal to become the fifth different defenseman to notch a four-game assist streak at age 40 or older.

Avalanche center Zakhar Bardakov made his NHL debut Saturday. He played 53 games and had 17 goals for SKA St. Petersburg of the KHL last season.
