SEC
Florida 31, South Florida 28 - Good lord. If not for bad snaps on two plays at the end of the game by USF, we could well be discussing a loss. The Bulls rushed for 286 yards. Unless the Gators figure out a way to stop the run, next week could be ugly. The offense looked out of sync all night, with Richardson again overthrowing open receivers. The Gators were outgained by about 70 yards.
Texas A&M 17, Miami 9 - The Hurricanes won this game everywhere except the scoreboard. Total yardage, 392-264. First downs, 27-16. Passing 217-140. Rushing, 175-124. That said, they had only three field goals to show for the evening's work, and their lone turnover, a muffed punt, set up an Aggie touchdown.
Arkansas 38, Missouri State 27 - The Razorbacks hardly looked like the nation's #10 team. They dug a 17-0 hole early and spent the rest of the game coming back, needing a 21 point fourth quarter to pull away.
Georgia 48, South Carolina 7 - Three interceptions helped the Bulldogs build a 48-0 lead.
Kentucky 31, Youngstown State 0 - The Wildcats rolled despite three turnovers.
Ole Miss 42, Georgia Tech 0 - 547 yards of total offense for the Rebels.
Vanderbilt 38, Northern Illinois 28 - The Commodores scored 21 points in the third quarter.
Missouri 34, Abilene Christian 17 - The Tigers led 17-3 at the half.
Penn State 41, Auburn 12 - Four turnovers killed any chance that the Tigers had to make it a game. Their touchdown came early in the fourth quarter, after the Nittany Lions led 31-6.
Alabama 63, Louisiana-Monroe 7 - About as competitive as you would expect.
Tennessee 63, Akron 6 - Why the Zips kicked a field goal in the fourth quarter while trailing 56-3 is beyond me. Akron was outgained by 400 yards.
LSU 31, Mississippi State 16 - For the first time in 22 years, the Tigers were an underdog in a game against the Bulldogs. LSU scored 21 points in the fourth quarter after trailing 16-10.
National games
UCLA 32, South Alabama 31 - The Bruins narrowly avoided disaster with a field goal on the final play.
Washington 39, Michigan State 28 - The Huskies rolled the Spartans, leading 29-8 at the half.
Oregon 41, Brigham Young 20 - The Ducks led 38-7 in the third quarter as they totally dominated the Cougars.
Oklahoma 49, Nebraska 14 - The Cornhuskers drove 77 yards for a touchdown on their opening drive, then the Sooners scored 49 unanswered points.
Southern Illinois 31, Northwestern 24 - The FCS Salukis led by 14 in the fourth quarter.
Syracuse 32, Purdue 29 - A 25 yard touchdown pass with seven seconds remaining won it for the Orange. Syracuse led 10-9 after three quarters.
Florida State 35, Louisville 31 - A late interception preserved the victory for the Seminoles, who are 3-0 for the first time in seven years. FSU played much of the game with a backup QB.
Virginia 16, Old Dominion 14 - The Cavaliers kicked a field goal on the final play.
Tulane 17, Kansas State 10 - The Green Wave overcame two turnovers to claim the upset in Manhattan.
Kansas 48, Houston 30 - The Jayhawks spotted the Cougars a 14-0 lead before scoring 28 straight points. Kansas is 3-0 for the first time since 2009.
Appalachian State 32, Troy 28 - The Mountaineers connected on a 53-yard touchdown pass as time expired.
Bowling Green 34, Marshall 31, OT - A week after beating Notre Dame, the Thundering Herd fell to the Falcons on the road. BG was 0-2 prior to this game. Marshall had three turnovers.
Wake Forest 37, Liberty 36 - After the Demon Deacons took a 37-30 lead with 3:39 remaining, the Flames scored on an 18-yard pass with 1:11 left. They went for the win, but missed the two point conversion.
Eastern Michigan 30, Arizona State 21 - How much longer will Herm Edwards survive at ASU?
