At No. 1 Alabama 63, Southern Mississippi 14:

Jameson Williams opened the game with a 100-yard kickoff return, then added an 81-yard touchdown catch and an 83-yard runback, and Bryce Young was nearly flawless for the Crimson Tide in throwing for five touchdowns while completing 20 of 22 passes for 313 yards.

No. 2 Georgia 62, at Vanderbilt 0: JT Daniels threw for 121 yards and two touchdowns playing only the first quarter of the Bulldogs’ biggest win in a series that started in 1893. This game was over when Georgia led 35-0 after the first quarter. The Bulldogs recovered a fumble on a kickoff to set up one touchdown, then Christopher Smith intercepted a pass to set up a second one less than 30 seconds later. The Bulldogs posted their first shutout this season, forcing Vanderbilt to go three-and-out nine times. Georgia nearly had more points than Vanderbilt managed yards (77).

at No. 11 Florida 38, Tennessee 14: Emory Jones had two touchdown passes to go with a career-high 144 yards rushing, and Florida scored its first trick-play touchdown in three years, extending the Gators’ nearly two decades of dominance in the series. They won their fifth straight and 16th in 17 years. Jones completed 21 of 27 passes for 209 yards and became Florida’s first quarterback to top 200 yards passing and 100 yards rushing since Tim Tebow in 2009.

at No. 23 Auburn 34, Georgia State 24: Shedrick Jackson caught a 10-yard touchdown pass from T.J. Finley with 45 seconds remaining, and the Tigers rallied from 12 down at halftime and avoided losing to a Sun Belt team for the first time. Finley, a Louisiana State transfer who replaced starting quarterback Bo Nix late in the third quarter, led Auburn on a 98-yard scoring drive in the final minutes.

Max Johnson passed for 280 yards and four touchdowns, and the Tigers avenged last year’s season-opening loss.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. ran for 144 yards, and despite three turnovers, the Wildcats beat the Gamecocks for the seventh time in eight years.
