Louisiana State 17, at No. 21 Florida 16: Danny Etling threw a short touchdown pass in the second half for the Tigers, who moved the ball well early with jet sweeps and then pounded it between the tackles late, doing just enough to upend the Gators.

at No. 8 Texas Christian 31, No. 23 West Virginia 24: Kenny Hill avoided a defender in the backfield and lunged forward through two more for a three-yard touchdown run with 2:53 left and the Horned Frogs remained the Big 12’s only undefeated team.

at Texas 40, Kansas State 34 (2 OT): Longhorns running back Chris Warren III scored on a two-yard touchdown run in the second overtime when the powerful running back moved a pile of Wildcats tacklers across the goal line, sending Texas to a win.
