Ole Miss (11-2) gained 540 yards against Penn State (10-3), which led the nation with its average of 223 yards allowed. It was the most yards and points allowed by the Nittany Lions this season. The win gave coach Lane Kiffin’s Rebels their first 11-win season.
Maryland 31, Auburn 13: At Nashville, Tenn., Billy Edwards Jr. ran for a touchdown and threw for a score as Maryland routed Auburn at the Music City Bowl and the Terrapins won a program-record third straight bowl.
Maryland (8-5) hadn't even played three consecutive bowls since 200608, and the Terrapins with coach Michael Locksley added this victory to their win over Virginia Tech at the Pinstripe Bowl and last year's Duke's Mayo Bowl win over North Carolina State.
Wyoming 16, Toledo 15: At Tucson, Ariz., John Hoyland kicked a 24-yard field goal as time expired and Wyoming sent coach Craig Bohl into retirement a winner with a victory over Toledo in the Arizona Bowl.
Bohl is retiring after 42 years of coaching — the last 10 in Laramie — and defensive coordinator Jay Sawvel will take over next season.
