No. 5 Sooners throw Cowboys for a loss

No. 24 Michigan State trips Penn State on field goal in closing seconds

-

STILLWATER, Okla. — Baker Mayfield passed for a school-record 598 yards and No. 5 Oklahoma outlasted No. 11 Oklahoma State 62-52 on Saturday in one of the highest-scoring games in the history of the rivalry.

Mayfield threw five touchdown passes and ran for another score to outduel Oklahoma State quarterbac­k Mason Rudolph in a battle of two Heisman Trophy contenders.

Rudolph passed for 448 yards and five touchdowns, but he had two critical turnovers in the second half. The Sooners improved to 8-1, 5-1 Big 12 and the Cowboys fell to 7-2, 4-2.

NO. 24 MICHIGAN STATE 27, NO. 7 PENN STATE 24: Matt Coghlin kicked a 34-yard field goal as time expired to give the host Spartans (7-2, 5-1 Big Ten) a victory over the Nittany Lions (7-2, 4-2) in a game that was delayed nearly 31⁄2 hours by severe weather in the second quarter.

Brian Lewerke threw for 400 yards and two touchdowns for the Spartans (7-2, 5-1 Big Ten, No. 24 CFP), and Michigan State was aided at the end by a roughing the passer call on Penn State's Marcus Allen. Lewerke was hit by Allen on a third-down pass that fell incomplete in the final minute. The penalty moved the ball to the Penn State 22, and the Spartans were able to run the clock down before Coghlin's winning kick.

NO. 1 GEORGIA 24, SOUTH CAROLINA 10: Jake Fromm proved he can throw — and block a little, too — as his two touchdown passes led the host Bulldogs (9-0, 6-0 SEC) past the Gamecocks (6-3, 4-3) and the SEC East title.

NO. 2 ALABAMA 24, NO. 19 LSU 10: Jalen Hurts passed for a touchdown and ran for a score and Alabama sweated out a bruising victory. The Crimson Tide (9-0, 6-0 Southeaste­rn Conference) had to withstand a rare challenge this season from a league opponent.

NO. 3 NOTRE DAME 48, WAKE FOREST 37: Brandon Wimbush passed for a career-high 280 yards, ran for 110 more and totaled three touchdowns as the host Fighting Irish (8-1) won their seventh straight game, beating the Demon Deacons (5-4).

NO. 4 CLEMSON 38, NO. 20 NORTH CAROLINA STATE 31: Tavien Feaster ran for an 89-yard touchdown to end the third quarter and K'Von Wallace picked off Ryan Finley on the final play to help the visiting Tigers (8-1, 6-1 ACC) beat the Wolfpack (603, 4-1).

NO. 14 AUBURN 42, TEXAS A&M 27: Jarrett Stidham threw for 268 yards and three touchdowns as the visiting Tigers (7-2, 5-1 SEC) pulled away in the second half and cruised past the Aggies (5-4, 3-3)

WEST VIRGINIA 20, NO. 15 IOWA STATE 16: Will Grier threw two touchdown passes, Justin Crawford broke out of a three-game slump with 102 yards rushing and the host Mountainee­rs (6-3, 4-2 Big 12) held on to beat the Cyclones (6-3, 4-2).

NO. 16 MISSISSIPP­I STATE 34, UMASS 23: Nick Fitzgerald ran for 135 yards and two touchdowns to lead the host Bulldogs (7-2) past the Minutemen (2-7).

NO. 25 WASHINGTON STATE 24, NO. 21 STANFORD 21: Luke Falk threw for 337 yards and three touchdowns and the host Cougars (8-2, 5-2 Pac-12) beat the Cardinal (6-3, 5-2) to keep their hopes alive for a Pac-12 North title.
