At Eugene, Ore., K.J. Costello threw for 327 yards and three touchdowns, the last a 23-yarder to Colby Parkinson in overtime, and No. 7 Stanford rallied for a 38-31 victory over No. 20 Oregon on Saturday night.

After Costello's TD pass to Parkinson, Stanford's Lameen Murphy intercepte­d Oregon quarterbac­k Justin Herbert's pass in the end zone for the victory.

Bryce Love returned after sitting out last week against UC Davis to rest minor injuries. He ran for 89 yards and a touchdown as Stanford remained undefeated with another tough test against No. 8 Notre Dame looming next week.

Love's 22-yard scoring run late in the third quarter cut Oregon's lead to 24-21, but Cyrus Habibi-Likio scored on a 1-yard run for the Ducks with 4:39 left.

No. 5 Oklahoma 28, Army 21 (OT): Kyler Murray threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to CeeDee Lamb in overtime, and Parnell Motley intercepte­d Kelvin Hopkins' fourth-down pass to help Oklahoma escape.

Kenneth Murray had a school-record 28 tackles for the Sooners (4-0).

Army had the ball for 44:41 and ran 87 plays to Oklahoma's 40.

Oklahoma led 21-14 at halftime after Army had 16-play, 75-yard touchdown drives on its first two possession­s. Murray passed for 123 yards and two touchdows and ran for 40 yards and another score before the break.

Hopkins ran for 55 yards in the first half, including a nifty 5-yard touchdown run. Army (2-2) ran 39 times for 183 yards in the first half and had the ball for 22:01 of the 30 minutes.

Army picked off Kyler Murray's pass and made the Sooners pay. Andy Davidson scored from 3 yards out, and the Black Knights tied the game at 21 with 1:51 remaining in the third quarter. It was a 19-play, 85-yard drive that took 10:47 off the clock.

Oklahoma drove to the Army 1, but the Black Knights got the stop on fourth-and-goal.

Purdue 30, No. 23 Boston College 13: Rondale Moore caught two touchdown passes and Purdue had four intercepti­ons, beating Boston College 3013 at West Lafayette, Ind.

David Blough passed for 296 yards and three touchdowns for the Boilermake­rs (1-3), who had stumbled at the start of what was expected to be a promising season.

The Eagles (3-1) rolled in unbeaten and ranked for the first time in 10 years, but fell flat.

Anthony Brown, coming off a career game with five touchdown passes, threw four intercepti­ons. Star tailback A.J. Dillon, from New London, was held to 59 yards on 19 carries.

Kentucky 28, No. 14 Mississipp­i State 7: At Lexington, Ky., Benny Snell Jr. rushed for four touchdowns to break a Kentucky career record, including two in the fourth quarter, and the Wildcats held Mississipp­i State to 56 yards rushing.

After Tyrell Ajian's 35yard intercepti­on return to the Bulldogs 36, Snell broke left and down the left sideline for his third score with 8 minutes remaining to break Randall Cobb's previous mark of 37 total touchdowns.

TheWildcat­s (4-0, 2-0 Southeaste­rn Conference) took their second win over a ranked school this month as MSU fell to 3-1, 0-1.

Texas 31, No. 17 TCU 16: Sam Ehlinger passed for two touchdowns and ran for a score, all in the second half, and Texas ended a four-game losing streak to TCU in the Big 12 opener for both teams at Austin, Texas.

Texas (3-1) had been outscored 153-33 the last four years by TCU and trailed 16-10 before the defense forced three turnovers by quarterbac­k Shawn Robinson in the third quarter.

The victory gives Texas its first three-game winning streak since 2014.

Texas Tech 41, No. 15 Oklahoma State 17: At Stillwater, Okla., Alan Bowman threw for 397 yards and two touchdowns and Texas Tech ended a ninegame losing streak to Oklahoma State.

The win is the third straight since a seasonopen­ing loss to Mississipp­i for the Red Raiders (3-1, 1-0 Big 12).

Bowman completed 35 of 46 passes in his Big 12 debut, guiding the nation's top offense to 621 total yards. Demarcus Felton added a pair of rushing touchdowns for Texas Tech and finished with 121 yards rushing on 12 carries.
