THE ROUNDUP

■ No. 1 Alabama 41, Arkansas 9

Damien Harris opened with a 75-yard TD run and Alabama rode a fast start to victory. The Crimson Tide (7-0, 4-0 SEC) raced to a 17-0 start in the first quarter before the Razorbacks (2-4, 0-3) managed to slow the onslaught for a while. Harris ran for 125 yards and two TDs on nine carries.

■ Syracuse 27, No. 2 Clemson 24

Eric Dungey threw for 278 yards and three TDs, Cole Murphy kicked a tiebreaking field goal in the fourth quarter, and Syracuse stunned Clemson on Friday night to put a damper on the Tigers’ chances to repeat as national champions. Clemson (6-1, 4-1 ACC) had won 12 consecutive games on the opponent’s home field. The Orange (4-3, 2-1) are 3-6 against the previous year’s national champion.

■ No. 4 Georgia 53, Missouri 28

Sony Michel ran for two TDs as Georgia found its running game after a slow start and took control with 26 unanswered points. Georgia (7-0, 4-0 SEC) recovered from an early scare by gaining 696 total yards, including 370 on the ground. Missouri (1-5, 0-4) suffered its fifth straight loss as it faded following a 21-all tie in the second quarter.

■ No. 6 TCU 26, Kansas State 6

Kenny Hill threw for 297 yards and ran for a TD, TCU’s defense shut down Kansas State’s ailing offense and the Horned Frogs remained unbeaten. Sewo Olonilua added two short TD runs for the Horned Frogs (6-0, 3-0 Big 12), whose gritty defense held the Wildcats (3-3, 1-2) without points both times they ventured into the red zone.

■ No. 7 Wisconsin 17, Purdue 9

Jonathan Taylor ran for 219 yards on 30 carries, including a 67-yard TD, and Wisconsin (6-0, 3-0) relied on its stifling defense to overcome a three-turnover afternoon. Purdue (3-3, 1-2) drove from its 39 to the Wisconsin 10 before linebacker Leon Jacobs stepped in front of a sideline pass to Jackson Winthrop, staying inbounds for an interception with 8:14 left in the game. The Badgers’ punishing ground game then ran out the clock.

■ California 37, No. 8 Washington State 3

Ross Bowers did an acrobatic flip into the end zone to cap a TD run for California and the Golden Bears used a dominant defensive performance to stun Washington State late Friday for their first win in 14 years against a top-10 team. Camryn Bynum had two of California’s five interceptions against Luke Falk, and the Bears (4-3, 1-3 Pac-12) used seven turnovers and nine sacks to top the Cougars (6-1, 3-1).

■ No. 9 Ohio State 56, Nebraska 14

J.T. Barrett passed for five TDs and ran for two others, and Ohio State scored on its first eight possessions. The Buckeyes (6-1, 4-0 Big Ten) continued their dominant surge since their loss to Oklahoma last month, tying their school record with a fourth straight game of scoring 50-plus points, and now get a week off before their East Division showdown with thirdranked Penn State.

■ LSU 27, No. 10 Auburn 23

D.J. Chark returned a punt 75 yards for a TD, Connor Culp kicked field goals of 42 and 36 yards inside the final three minutes, and LSU rallied from a 20-point, first-half deficit. LSU’s defense improved dramatically in the second half, not allowing a point. That enabled LSU (5-2, 2-1 SEC) to win with special teams play. Russell Gage made a diving 14-yard TD reception and had a 70-yard run for LSU. Kerryon Johnson rushed for 156 yards and a TD for Auburn (5-2, 3-1).

■ No. 11 Miami 25, Georgia Tech 24

Darrell Langham made another miracle happen, a 28-yard catch on a tipped fourth-down ball keeping desperate Miami’s drive alive and setting up Michael Badgley’s 24-yard field goal with four seconds left as the Hurricanes somehow rallied to stun Georgia Tech (3-2, 2-1). Langham — who had the winning catch to beat Florida State in the final seconds last week — pulled off a similar grab to get Miami to the Georgia Tech 15, and Badgley’s chip-shot came four snaps later for the Hurricanes (5-0, 3-0 ACC).

■ No. 12 Oklahoma 29, Texas 24

Baker Mayfield threw 59 yards to Mark Andrews for the go-ahead TD in the fourth quarter after Oklahoma had blown a 20-point lead. Mayfield’s second TD throw of more than 50 yards came 68 seconds after freshman quarterback Sam Ehlinger ran 8 yards to give the Longhorns (3-3, 2-1) their first lead after trailing 20-0 in the second quarter. The win kept the College Football Playoff hopes alive for the Sooners (5-1, 2-1 Big 12) a week after a stunning home loss to Iowa State.

■ No. 14 Oklahoma State 59, Baylor 16

Mason Rudolph passed for 459 yards and three TDs and ran for another score to help Oklahoma State. Rudolph guided an offense that gained a school-record 747 yards. Oklahoma State’s James Washington caught six passes for 235 yards and a TD, and he ran for a 2-yard score. Marcell Ateman caught four passes for 119 yards and a TD, and Justice Hill ran for 117 yards and a score for the Cowboys (5-1, 2-1 Big 12).

■ No. 17 Michigan 27, Indiana 20 (OT)

Karan Higdon ran 25 yards for a TD on the first play of overtime for Michigan, and Tyree Kinnel intercepted a fourthdown pass in the end zone on the final play as the Wolverines held off Indiana. Higdon finished with 200 yards and three TDs on 25 carries, providing most the offense for Michigan (5-1, 1-1 Big Ten).

■ No. 18 South Florida 33, Cincinnati 3

Quinton Flowers eclipsed 3,000 yards career rushing and scored one TD to help South Florida extend the nation’s longest winning streak to 11 games. The dual-threat quarterback also set up a TD with a long completion to Temi Alaka, and linebacker Auggie Sanchez scored on a 65-yard interception on the final play of the first half for the Bulls (6-0, 3-0 American).

■ No. 20 N.C. State 35, Pittsburgh 17

Nyheim Hines ran for an 83-yard TD and returned a punt 92 yards for another score on his way to 249 total yards to help North Carolina State win its sixth straight. Jaylen Samuels added a pair of fourth-quarter TD runs for the Wolfpack (6-1, 4-0 ACC). Ryan Finley completed 14 of 25 and extended his streak of consecutive passes without an interception to 313, the second-longest in ACC history.

■ No. 22 UCF 63, East Carolina 21

McKenzie Milton threw two TDs and ran for another, and UCF also got TDs on defense and special teams. UCF moved to 5-0 for the first time in the program’s Division I era and remained tied with 18th-ranked South Florida for the American Athletic Conference East lead at 3-0.

■ West Virginia 46, No. 24 Texas Tech 35

Will Grier threw four of his five TD passes in the second half and West Virginia overcame an 18-point deficit in the fourth quarter. West Virginia (4-2, 2-1 Big 12) beat a ranked opponent for the first time in 10 tries. The Mountaineers dropped close games earlier this season to No. 6 TCU and No. 15 Virginia Tech.

■ Memphis 30, No. 25 Navy 27

Riley Ferguson threw three TD passes and Memphis took advantage of five turnovers by Navy to hand the Midshipmen their first loss. Quarterback Zach Abey ran for 146 yards for Navy (5-1, 3-1 American) and surpassed 1,000 yards rushing this season, he but was responsible for all five turnovers.
