Tulsa at Wisconsin
Phillip Welch's 39 yard field with 30 seconds left bailed out Wisconsin and gave them a 17-16 victory over the Golden Hurricanes. The Badgers led 14-3 at the half courtesy of a pair of touchdown passes from Scott Tolzien.

Central Florida at Nevada
Nevada held on for a 20-18 1st round win when Central Florida's 2-point conversion with 4:05 left was denied.

Colin Kaepernick threw for 157 yards, ran for 61 more and connected with Vai Taua on a touchdown pass. Taua ran the final Wolfpack touchdown in to give them the 20-12 lead.
