San Jose, Calif. • David Fales threw for 543 yards and six touchdowns in an entertaining showdown with Derek Carr, and San Jose ended No. 16 Fresno State's run toward a possible BCS bowl with a 62-52 victory Friday.

Fales was every bit as good as the more heralded Carr, matching his six first-half touchdown passes in a near perfect performance that made the Spartans bowl eligible with their first win over a ranked opponent since 2000.

Carr threw for 519 yards and six touchdowns but threw a fourth-quarter interception for the Bulldogs.

The loss ended Fresno State's chances to beat out Northern Illinois for a spot in a BCS game.

The Bulldogs will still play in the Mountain West title game next week against either Utah State or Boise State but had their chances at a big bowl payoff done in by a porous defense.

No. 15 LSU 31, Arkansas 27 • Backup quarterback Anthony Jennings lofted a 49-yard touchdown pass to Travin Dural with 1:15 left as the Tigers pulled out a tense victory at home.

No. 17 UCF 23, South Florida 20 • Breshad Perriman scored on a 52-yard touchdown pass from Blake Bortles late in the fourth quarter to give Central Florida a win at home and keeping the Knights on course for a conference title and BCS bid. —
