No. 2 Clemson reaches 6-0 for the third-straight season

-

CLEMSON, S.C. — Kelly Bryant threw for 200 yards and a touchdown before leaving with an ankle injury and No. 2 Clemson beat Wake Forest to reach to 6-0 for a third straight season.

There was no immediate word on the severity of Bryant's injury. He left in the third quarter after Travis Etienne's 1-yard touchdown run put Clemson ahead 21-0. Trainers looked at Bryant's ankle and took him into the sideline medical tent. Bryant tested his legs with a few short jogs once he came out and remained on the sidelines with teammates. Bryant did not re-enter the game as Clemson (6-0, 4-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) beat the Demon Deacons (4-2, 1-2) for a ninth straight time.

No. 4 Penn State 31, Northweste­rn 7

EVANSTON, Ill. — Trace McSorley threw for 245 yards and a touchdown, Saquon Barkley ran for two scores in the second half for Penn State.

McSorley completed 25 of 34 passes. He threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to backup quarterbac­k Tommy Stevens in the second quarter and added a 5-yard scoring run in the fourth.

No. 8 TCU 31, No. 23 West Virginia 24

FORT WORTH, Texas — Kenny Hill avoided a defender in the backfield and lunged forward through two more for a 3-yard touchdown run with 2:53 left and TCU remained the Big 12's only undefeated team.

Hill also threw a 45-yard touchdown pass and was on the receiving end of a 48-yard score for the Frogs (5-0, 2-0). His winning TD run came only five plays after an apparent intercepti­on was reversed on a replay review.

Will Grier threw for 366 yards and three TDs for West Virginia (3-2, 1-1), including two long catch-and-run scores in a span of about 2 1/2 minutes late in the third quarter. It was tied at 24 after Grier hooked up with David Sills V on a 64-yard scoring play and then Ka'Raun White for a 76-yarder.

No. 10 Ohio State 62, Maryland 14

COLUMBUS, Ohio — J.T. Barrett threw for three touchdowns and ran for another in the first half, and Ohio State had its most dominant defensive effort in nearly 60 years.

The stingy Buckeyes (5-1, 3-0 Big Ten) held Maryland (3-2, 1-1) to 66 total yards — their fewest yards allowed since yielding 60 against Indiana in 1960.

No. 13 Miami 24, Florida State 20

TALLAHASSE­E, Fla. — Malik Rosier threw a 23-yard touchdown pass to Darrell Langham with 6 seconds remaining and Miami beat Florida State to end a seven-game losing streak in the series.

Rosier, who came into the game leading the Atlantic Coast Conference in passing efficiency, had a rough start as he completed only four of his first 16 passes. The junior found a rhythm in the second half and finished 19 of 44 for 254 yards and three touchdowns.

No. 14 Southern California 38, Oregon State 10

LOS ANGELES — Sam Darnold threw for 316 yards and three touchdowns, Ronald Jones II ran for a touchdown and Southern California beat Oregon State.
