TOP 25 ROUNDUPS

NO. 2 MICHIGAN 49, MICHIGAN STATE 0

EAST LANSING, Mich. — J.J. McCarthy threw three of his career-high four touchdown passes in the first half and Michigan routed Michigan State.

The Wolverines (8-0, 5-0 Big Ten) were dominant from the start and didn’t let up, predictably a year after the Spartans roughed up some of their rivals in the Michigan Stadium tunnel.

Instead of kneeling to run out the clock, quarterback Alex Orji ran 6 yards for a touchdown with eight seconds left.

Michigan State (2-5, 0-4) has lost five straight games since former Coach Mel Tucker was suspended and later fired for acknowledging he had having consensual phone sex with a vendor, who is a sexual assault activist and rape survivor.

NO. 4 FLORIDA STATE 38, NO. 16 DUKE 20

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Jordan Travis accounted for three touchdowns, including a 2-yard run early in the fourth quarter that gave Florida State its first lead, and the Seminoles rallied to beat Duke.

The Seminoles (7-0, 5-0 ACC) extended their winning streak to 13 and became the league’s lone remaining unbeaten after North Carolina lost to Virginia.

Travis had everything to do with the latest victory — the 22nd in as many tries against Duke. The sixth-year senior completed 27 of 36 passes for 268 yards and two scores against the ACC’s stingiest defense. He also led the team with 62 yards rushing, including 40 on the go-ahead drive.

He followed that with a 21-yard touchdown pass to Lawrance Toafili that extended Florida State’s scoring streak of at least 30 points to 13.

Duke (5-2, 2-1) could pin its collapse on losing standout quarterback Riley Leonard to a right ankle injury. Leonard, returning after missing a game because of injury, was knocked out of the game with a little less than seven minutes to go in the third quarter.

NO. 8 TEXAS 31, HOUSTON 24

HOUSTON — CJ Baxter rushed 16 yards for a touchdown with 5½ minutes left in the fourth quarter, and Texas stopped Houston on 4th-and-1 in the final minute on the way to a win over Houston.

Jonathon Brooks rushed for 99 yards and Xavier Worthy had 92 receiving yards and a touchdown for Texas (6-1, 3-1 Big 12).

Quinn Ewers was 23 of 29 for 211 yards and two touchdowns, but exited after taking a hit on a scramble late in the third quarter. Ewers was replaced by Maalik Murphy on the Longhorns’ first drive of the fourth quarter. There was no immediate word on Ewers’ condition.

Texas outgained Houston 141-14 in rushing yards, but Houston (3-4, 1-3) outgained Texas 392-360 in total yards.

NO. 9 OREGON 38, WASHINGTON STATE 24

EUGENE, Ore. — Bo Nix threw for 293 yards and two touchdowns while setting the NCAA record for most career starts and Oregon rebounded from its first loss of the season with a victory over Washington State.

Nix started in his 54th college game and the Ducks (6-1, 3-1 Pac-12) became bowl eligible after a disappointing 36-33 loss at rival Washington last weekend.

Bucky Irving ran for 129 yards and two touchdowns, while also catching a scoring pass from Nix to keep Oregon undefeated at home this season.

Washington State (4-3, 1-3) lost its third straight game.

VIRGINIA 31,

NO. 10 NORTH CAROLINA 27

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Mike Hollins ran for three touchdowns and Malik Washington had the go-ahead scoring catch in the fourth quarter to help Virginia beat North Carolina, shaking up the Atlantic Coast Conference race with its first road victory over a top-10 opponent.

James Jackson had the clinching interception with 26 seconds left, picking off Drake Maye’s pass with the Tar Heels (6-1, 3-1) reaching midfield on a drive for a winning score.

Instead, Virginia players started spilling onto the field to celebrate, while Jackson ran all the way down the field to the end zone in his own jubilation.

Washington pushed the Cavaliers (25, 1-2) over the top, taking a short feed from Tony Muskett and then turning toward the end zone to push across the goal line with 8:51 left while shrugging off multiple bad tackle attempts by UNC defenders.

NO. 14 UTAH 34, NO. 18 SOUTHERN CAL 32

LOS ANGELES — Cole Becker made a 38-yard field goal as time expired, and No. 14 Utah blew an 11-point lead in the fourth quarter before rallying for a thrilling victory over Southern California.

After Caleb Williams ran for an 11-yard touchdown with 1:46 left for the Trojans (6-2, 4-1 Pac-12), Bryson Barnes punctuated Utah’s winning drive with a spectacular 26-yard scramble to get the Utes (6-1, 3-1) well into range for Becker’s winner.

Two-way sensation Sione Vaki caught two touchdown passes and accounted for 217 total yards while the Utes sent Williams and Lincoln Riley to their first loss at the Coliseum.

After Zachariah Branch’s 61-yard punt return set up Williams’ go-ahead TD run to put the Trojans in front 3231, Utah mounted a drive that included Ja’Quinden Jackson’s fourth-and-1 conversion run to the USC 40 with 19 seconds left.

Barnes passed for a career-high 235 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for another score for Utes, who have beaten the Trojans in all three meetings during Riley’s two seasons at USC.

NO. 22 AIR FORCE 17, NAVY 6

ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Zac Larrier threw a 94-yard touchdown to Dane Kinamon — the longest pass in Air Force history — and the 22nd-ranked Falcons shut down Navy.

Air Force (7-0) gained almost as many yards on that one play as Navy (3-4) did in the entire game. The Falcons seemed to back off defensively late, allowing the Midshipmen to drive 78 yards for their only touchdown. They finished with 124 yards.

Larrier, whose availability for this game was a surprise after Coach Troy Calhoun said earlier in the week the injured quarterback would be out “a while,” completed only four passes, but they went for a total of 151 yards.

NO. 23 TULANE 35, NORTH TEXAS 28

NEW ORLEANS — Michael Pratt passed for three touchdowns and scrambled 19 yards for a go-ahead score with 2:34 to go, and Tulane staved off a frantic North Texas comeback bid to defeat the Mean Green.

Mekhi Highes ran for a 10-yard touchdown and finished with 121 yards on 20 carries — his third straight game eclipsing the 100-yard mark.

Tulane (6-1, 3-0 AAC) appeared to be cruising toward its fifth straight victory when tight end Alex Bauman made his second touchdown catch of the game on a 21-yard throw from Pratt to make it 28-7 in the third quarter.

But North Texas (3-4, 1-2), which had been shut out in the first half, scored touchdowns on their next three possessions, the second of which began with a successful onside kick.

MINNESOTA 12, NO. 24 IOWA 10

IOWA CITY, Iowa — Dragan Kesich made four field goals and Minnesota won at Iowa for the first time since 1999 to snap an eight-game losing streak in the series, holding the Hawkeyes to 12 yards in the second half.

With the Floyd of Rosedale bronze hog statue at stake in the cross-border rivalry, Iowa appeared to take the lead with 1:21 left when Cooper DeJean fielded a punt that had bounced near the Minnesota sideline and returned it 54 yards for a touchdown. But after a replay review, DeJean was ruled to have made a faircatch signal before fielding the punt, disallowing the return.

Iowa still had the ball, but Justin Walley intercepted Deacon Hill’s pass with a minute to play.

Down 10-3 at the half, the Gophers (43, 2-2 Big Ten) held Iowa (6-2, 3-2) to minus-2 yards in the third quarter.
