SEATTLE (AP) -- Will Rogers passed for 261 yards and four touchdowns and Washington beat Eastern Michigan 30-9 at Alaska Airlines Field at Husky Stadium on Saturday.

Rogers threw three touchdowns in the second quarter, including two to Denzel Boston, to help rev up the Washington (2-0) offense.

Rogers completed 10-of-13 passes in the second quarter for 154 yards, and finished 21 of 26. He has completed 78% of his passes for 511 yards in his first two Washington games with five TD passes and no interceptions.

Jonah Coleman rushed 11 times for 104 yards to help Washington win its 16th straight home game, the third longest streak in the nation. It was his second straight 100-yard game to start his Washington career.

A defensive highlight got the Washington offense rolling. Cameron Broussard's recovery of Cole Snyder's fumble early in the second quarter set up the Huskies' first score. They converted a fourth-and-1 on the ensuing drive to take a 7-3 lead on Rogers' 41-yard pass to Decker DeGraaf. DeGraaf caught the pass at the 5, then tip-toed down the line for the score.

Gomez added another field goal to make it 7-6, but Coleman opened Washington's next drive with a 64-yard run. Then Rogers found Boston on a 13-yard slant a few plays later for a 14-6 lead with 3:07 left in the half.

Rogers completed passes of 20, 15 and 11 yards on the Huskies' final drive of the second quarter before connecting with Boston again on a 1-yard corner route to make it 21-6 at halftime.

The senior found Jeremiah Hunter for a 24-yard score to cap Washington's first drive of the second half to make it 27-6 and put the game out of reach.
