SEATTLE (Ticker) -- Quarterback Cale Bonds scored on a pair of one-yard runs in the second half as Air Force extended the nation's longest winning streak to 11 games with a 31-21 victory over Washington in a rematch of last season's Oahu Bowl. The Falcons claim the longest winning streak after Tennessee's 14-game run ended in Florida tonight. The Huskies (0-2) had won 13 straight home openers but have lost their first two games for the first time since 1985. Air Force (2-0) defeated Washington, 45-25, in the Oahu Bowl in Honolulu on Christmas and has won five of seven all-time meetings. With the game tied at 14-14, Corey Nelson blocked Ryan Fleming's punt and the Falcons took over at the Washington 40. McKay broke free for 39 yards on first down and Bonds went in from the one on the next play to put Air Force ahead for good. Bonds completed just 6-of-11 passes for 65 yards but rushed 19 times for 106 yards. Marques Tuiasosopo completed 20-of-44 passes for 195 yards with three interceptions and Braxton Coleman carried 11 times for 100 yards and one TD for Washington. Jackson Whiting kicked a 44-yard field goal midway through the fourth quarter to extend the lead to 24-14. Tony Jones intercepted Tuiasosopo's pass and returned it to the 1 before Bonds' second TD on the next play made it 31-14 with with 5:21 left. Freshman Paul Arnold took the ensuing kickoff the length of the field to complete the scoring.
