SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) -- Jon Helmandollar scored his third touchdown in the second overtime, and No. 14 Boise State barely extended the nation's longest winning streak to 20 games with a 56-49 victory over San Jose State on Saturday.<br>
<br>
Jared Zabransky passed for 200 yards and scored one of eight rushing touchdowns by the Broncos (9-0, 6-0 WAC), who hung on despite an early kickoff, 14 penalties and an inspired effort by the Spartans.<br>
<br>
Lance Martin's 1-yard dive capped San Jose State's tying drive with 4:42 left in regulation. Jeff Carr could have won it for the Spartans (2-7, 1-5) in regulation, but his 30-yard field goal attempt was blocked with 1:07 left.<br>
<br>
Martin rushed for 112 yards, including a 16-yard score on San Jose State's first overtime possession. Lee Marks, who finished with 140 yards rushing, replied with a 12-yard TD run for Boise State. <br>
<br>
After Helmandollar's 1-yard scoring rush in the second overtime, cornerback Gabe Franklin drove San Jose State quarterback Adam Tafralis out of bounds at the 4 on a fourth-down option play. The Broncos celebrated wildly in front of the orange-clad fans behind their bench.<br>
<br>
The Broncos rushed for 280 yards, but also revealed significant flaws in their defense, special teams and discipline. The blocked field goal probably prevented a huge upset loss to the Spartans, who lost their fifth straight and allowed at least 36 points for the seventh time this season.<br>
<br>
Dale Rogers passed for 149 yards and rushed for two scores for the Spartans, who nearly knocked off Boise State with a big-play offense, two interchangeable quarterbacks and a bit of trickery, including a touchdown on a fake field goal. Rufus Skillern caught 10 passes for 167 yards, including a 79-yard TD catch.<br>
<br>
There appeared to be less than 5,000 fans in the stands for the earliest game in Spartan Stadium's history. The teams kicked off shortly after 9 a.m. to accommodate a national television broadcast. San Jose State mascot Sparty wore pajamas and a bathrobe. <br>
<br>
The Broncos' defense definitely missed a wakeup call. San Jose State took a 14-7 lead in the first quarter with Rogers' 69-yard TD pass to Tyson Thompson and Tafralis' long pass to Skillern, both helped by big mistakes in the secondary.<br>
<br>
The Spartans led 35-28 midway through the third quarter after third-string quarterback Beau Pierce rushed for an 8-yard score on a fake field goal, and Bobby Godinez blocked a punt to set up Rogers' 1-yard TD dive.<br>
<br>
But the Broncos scored two touchdowns in 90 seconds, taking the lead on Helmandollar's 3-yard run with 3:15 left in the quarter.<br>
<br>
Boise State linebacker Korey Hall was ejected with 7:29 left in regulation for kicking a San Jose State lineman in the head, capping the Broncos' undisciplined performance with a penalty that aided the Spartans' tying drive. Boise State was penalized 118 yards.
