Gordon, who entered the day as the nation's leading rusher, had a career-high 33 carries. It was his sixth straight game rushing for at least 100 yards.
The game was about more than bragging rights — both teams started the day as part of a five-way tie for the conference lead.

Georgia (9-0, 6-0 SEC, No. 2 CFP) had to rally to win the key SEC East matchup against Missouri (7-2, 3-2, No. 12 CFP).
The Tigers led 13-10 early in the second half. Georgia answered with two straight touchdowns, a 15-yard run by Kendall Milton and Carson Beck's 5-yard scoring pass to Oscar Delp.
Georgia led 27-21 when Stackhouse, a 6-foot-3, 320-pound senior, picked off Brady Cook's short pass. Stackhouse rambled all the way to the Missouri 5, but a blindside block penalty against Bulldogs linebacker Smael Mondon Jr. pushed Georgia back to its 30.
NO. 2 MICHIGAN 41, PURDUE 13 » Blake Corum scored three touchdowns and Semaj Morgan ran for a 44-yard score, leading the Wolverines (9-0, 6-0 Big Ten) at home over the Boilermakers (2-7, 1-5).

Kyle McCord hit Marvin Harrison Jr. on two of his three touchdown passes and TreVeyon Henderson ran for 128 yards and a score as Ohio State (9-0, 6-0 Big Ten, No. 1 in CFP) beat Rutgers (6-3, 3-3) for the 10th straight time.
Gavin Wimsatt threw a touchdown pass to JaQuae Jackson, Jai Petel hit three short field goals and Kyle Monangai ran for 159 yards as the Scarlet Knights dented the Buckeyes defense for 361 yards.
The Buckeyes trailed 9-7 at the half and Rutgers appeared ready to add to that lead when it took the opening kickoff and drove to the Ohio State 20.
On second down, Wimsatt tried to loop a pass to Monangai around the 5-yard line. The running back and safety Josh Proctor collided and the ball popped in the air. Hancock grabbed the fluttering ball, turned and headed upfield and never stopped to give Ohio State a 14-9 lead.
Henderson scored on a 9-yard run to stretch the lead to 21-9 late in the third.
NO. 4 FLORIDA ST. 24, PITTSBURGH 7 » Jordan Travis ran for a touchdown and threw for another and the Seminoles clinched a spot in the ACC Championship game with a win at Pittsburgh.

Maryland (5-4, 2-4) has dropped four in a row, and a season that began with five straight wins is in danger of really unraveling.
The Penn State defensive front dominated. The Terrapins finished with minus-49 yards rushing. Six sacks played a role in that.
