Viliami Teu runs for 2 TDs, San Jose State beats winless Northern Illinois 30-19

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Viliami Teu scored two touchdowns as San Jose State edged out winless Northern Illinois 30-19 on Saturday. Trajan Sinatra's third field goal of the game extended the Spartans' halftime lead to 16-13, and they maintained the advantage for the remainder of the match. After a muffed punt in the third quarter left the Spartans with ample time in Northern Illinois territory, Teu eventually crossed the goal line from one yard out.

The Huskies, who had a 0-9 record at the time, turned the ball over on downs at their own 29-yard line, allowing Daniel Rolovich to connect with Dominique McKenzie on a touchdown pass to widen the margin to 30-13. Rolovich threw for 231 yards and a score. Teu collected only 42 yards on 17 carries, but his two touchdowns helped San Jose State end a two-game losing streak.

Taron Dickens connected for 198 yards and a touchdown, along with an interception, for the Huskies, who have lost 11 straight games dating back to the previous season, marking the longest active losing streak in the Bowl Subdivision. Northern Illinois will host Nevada next Saturday, while San Jose State takes on Air Force the following Saturday.
