SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Zach Collaros threw four touchdown passes to get the Bearcats within a win of the best start in school history.
Collaros hit Armon Binns on scoring passes of 81 and 13 yards, Kazeem Alli for 16 yards off a fake field goal, and Adrien Robinson for 4 yards as Cincinnati (8-0, 4-0 Big East) won its 14th straight regular-season game to remain in contention for the national championship.
Collaros finished 22 of 28 for 295 yards and no turnovers against Syracuse (3-5, 0-3), playing again in place of injured quarterback Tony Pike.
Cincinnati's 1951 team won nine straight to begin the season.
No. 6 Boise State 45, San Jose State 7
BOISE, Idaho -- Kellen Moore threw for 278 yards and three touchdowns and ran for another to get the Broncos their eighth straight win.
Boise State (8-0, 3-0 Western Athletic Conference) also got plenty of help from its defense, which held the Spartans (1-6, 0-3) to 223 total yards and forced two turnovers that led to touchdowns.
In the last minute of the first half, the Broncos recovered a fumble deep in Spartans territory and scored four plays later on a 1-yard dive by Moore to go up 24-7 at the half. Early in the third quarter, cornerback Kyle Wilson picked off a pass and returned it 27 yards to put Boise State up 38-7.
Moore, the nation's most efficient passer coming into the game, was 21 of 33 before heading to the sidelines at the start of the fourth quarter. His three TD passes gave him 24 this season. His first TD pass was a 61-yarder to younger brother Kirby Moore that put the Broncos up 7-0 in the first quarter.
No. 8 Texas Christian 41, UNLV 0
FORT WORTH, Texas -- Andy Dalton threw three touchdown passes, Ed Wesley scored running and catching the ball and the TCU defense smothered UNLV to get its first shutout of the season.
It was another dominating performance for the eighth-ranked Horned Frogs (8-0, 4-0 Mountain West), who probably did enough to stay in position to be this season's BCS buster.
TCU won its 10th consecutive game overall, and 12th in a row at home -- a span at Amon Carter Stadium in which the Frogs have outscored their opponents by an average margin of 43-9 since a loss to Utah two years ago. The 19th-ranked Utes will be in Fort Worth in two weeks.
UNLV (3-6, 1-4) never challenged the Horned Frogs, a week after a 38-7 victory at BYU boosted them to sixth in the Bowl Championship Series standings and past Boise State, the only other undefeated team from a non-BCS conference.
Boise State (8-0) beat San Jose State 45-7 for its eighth consecutive victory since losing to TCU in the Poinsettia Bowl last December.
No. 12 Penn State 34, Northwestern 13
EVANSTON, Ill. -- No. 12 Penn State shut out Northwestern in the second half and the Nittany Lions scored three fourth-quarter touchdowns in less than four minutes.
Daryll Clark threw a 53-yard TD pass to Derek Moye and Evan Royster broke off a 69-yard scoring run to highlight the fourth-quarter surge that took 3 minutes, 40 seconds.
Penn State (8-1 4-1 in the Big Ten) trailed 10-3 in the second quarter when Northwestern quarterback Mike Kafka was forced out with a leg injury. And the Nittany Lions were still behind 13-10 at the half. But they blanked the Wildcats and backup QB Dan Persa in the final two quarters and gave coach Joe Paterno his 391st win.
Behind the strong running of Royster, Penn State moved in for the go-ahead touchdown early in the final quarter on a 3-yard run by Brandon Beachum that made it 20-13.
