CONFERENCE REPORTS

No. 16 Michigan 45, at Illinois 25: Hassan Haskins ran for 125 yards and a touchdown, Zach Charbonnet added 116 yards rushing, and the Wolverines needed a late surge to put away Illinois. The Wolverines built a 28-0 lead by halftime, but turnovers and ineffective offense helped the Illini cut the lead to 28-25 with 12:50 left. Dre Brown ran in from a yard out and then converted a two-point conversion for the Illini.

at Indiana 35, Rutgers 0: Reakwon Jones raced 17 yards with a Rutgers fumble to score 10 seconds into the game and Indiana set a one-sided tone in a romp over the hapless Scarlet Knights. The Hoosiers scored three touchdowns in the opening 6:52, starting on the first play of the game. Indiana’s Demarcus Elliott drilled Rutgers quarterback Johnny Langan to force the fumble, which Jones scooped for the go-ahead score.

at Purdue 40, Maryland 14: Jack Plummer threw for 420 yards and three touchdowns and Cory Trice returned an interception for a score to break open the game just before halftime. The Boilermakers snapped a three-game losing streak with their most lopsided win since upsetting No. 2 Ohio State last October. Maryland still hasn’t won consecutive conference road games since 2014.

at No. 8 Wisconsin 38, Michigan State 0: Jonathan Taylor rushed for two touchdowns and Wisconsin’s defense posted its fourth shutout of the season. The Spartans’ defense held Taylor to 80 yards in 26 carries, marking the first time this season the Heisman Trophy hopeful was held under 100. But Michigan State was held to 149 yards, 30 rushing, and couldn’t find any rhythm as the Badgers dominated time of possession 39:10 to 20:50.

No. 10 Penn State 17, at No. 17 Iowa 12: Noah Cain scored on a five-yard run with 5:17 left in the fourth quarter to help the Nittany Lions hold off the Hawkeyes. Cain led all rushers with 102 yards in 22 carries. Keith Duncan booted two field goals for Iowa, which trailed 7-6 at halftime. Brandon Smith caught a 33-yard touchdown pass with 2:31 left in the game to get the Hawkeyes close, but the two-point conversion attempt failed.

at Minnesota 34, Nebraska 7: Rodney Smith ran for 139 yards and a touchdown, helping the Golden Gophers stay undefeated on the strength of 322 yards rushing. Shannon Brooks ran for 99 yards, Mo Ibrahim had 84 yards and three touchdowns, and the Gophers stayed in a tie for first place in the Big Ten West Division with rival Wisconsin behind an all-around performance that had the Huskers on their heels all evening.

No. 1 Alabama 47, at No. 24 Texas A&M 28: Tua Tagovailoa threw four touchdowns and the Crimson Tide offense kept rolling in Alabama’s first game at No. 1 this season with a victory over the Aggies. Tagovailoa had a pass intercepted for the first time this season but became Alabama’s career passing touchdowns leader with his first one of the game, breaking his tie with A.J. McCarron. The junior now has 81 for his career and leads the nation with 27 for the season.

at Missouri 38, Mississippi 27: One week after an injury scare, Tigers quarterback Kelly Bryant looked like his old self in a victory over the Rebels. Bryant, who was knocked out of last week’s win over Troy because of a sprained knee, completed 25 of 35 passes for 329 yards and one touchdown. Missouri got great production from running backs Larry Rountree III, Dawson Downing and Tyler Badie.

at Kentucky 24, Arkansas 20: Lynn Bowden accounted for three touchdowns in his first start at quarterback, including the go-ahead 24-yard scoring run with 6:53 remaining, to rally the Wildcats past the Razorbacks and end a threegame losing streak. Kentucky’s top receiver took first-team snaps during the bye while banged-up Sawyer Smith recovered and was announced as the starter before the game.

at Tennessee 20, Mississippi State 10: The Volunteers’ defense finally delivered the kind of performance that Jeremy Pruitt’s teams produced consistently during his career as an assistant coach. The Volunteers intercepted three passes, shut down SEC rushing leader Kylin Hill and withstood an injury to quarterback Brian Maurer in a victory over the Bulldogs. Tennessee ended a six-game skid against Football Bowl Subdivision opponents.

Nevada Las Vegas 34, at Vanderbilt 10: Kenyon Oblad threw for 172 yards and a pair of touchdowns, Chad Magyar rushed for 116 yards and a touchdown and the Rebels beat the Commodores. UNLV snapped a four-game losing streak, earning its first-ever road win against an SEC opponent. Mountain West schools are 3-2 this season against SEC opponents. It was the first-ever matchup between the schools. Vanderbilt couldn’t generate much after its first drive of the game against the Rebels.

at No. 22 Baylor 33, Texas Tech 30 (2OT): JaMycal Hasty scored on a five-yard touchdown run in the second overtime to lift the Bears in their first game as a ranked team under coach Matt Rhule. Baylor, which went the length of the field at the end of regulation just to get to overtime, won on Hasty’s run after Trey Wolff ’s 35-yard field goal for Texas Tech opened the second extra period. Baylor’s Charlie Brewer was 24-of-37 passing for 352 yards, but threw his first three interceptions of the season. He ran for three touchdowns. Texas Tech got to the second overtime when T.J. Vasher made a diving two-yard catch on a nice lob throw by Jett Duffey for his only touchdown pass.

Iowa State 38, at West Virginia 14: Freshman Breece Hall rushed for 132 yards and scored three touchdowns to lead the Cyclones. The Mountaineers lost quarterback Austin Kendall when he was hit hard while attempting a pass during West Virginia’s first series and was replaced by backup Jack Allison. West Virginia coach Neal Brown said Kendall appeared to sustain a chest injury and will know more by early in the week.

Louisville 62, at No. 19 Wake Forest 59: Evan Conley and Micale Cunningham each passed for two touchdowns and the Cardinals held on to upset the Demon Deacons, who got 251 yards passing and three touchdowns from Jamie Newman. Sam Hartman threw two touchdown passes for Wake Forest in a game that came down to the final minute. Conley also had a rushing touchdown. Wake Forest had 668 total yards and Louisville had 520.

at No. 2 Clemson 45, Florida State 14: Trevor Lawrence threw three touchdown passes, two to Justyn Ross, and the Tigers extended their winning streak to 21 games. Clemson is 6-0 for a fifth consecutive year, a program best, and won its 750th game, the 15th program to do that and the first in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Lawrence had 170 yards passing and ran for a touchdown. Travis Etienne ran for 127 yards and caught one of Lawrence’s scoring throws. Seminoles star Cam Akers had only 34 yards in nine carries.

at Duke 41, Georgia Tech 23: Deon Jackson rushed for 69 yards and two touchdowns and Victor Dimukeje had three sacks for the Blue Devils, who scored 38 consecutive points after the Yellow Jackets took the lead with a touchdown on the opening drive. Duke scored on its first five offensive possessions, capping the last four with touchdown runs.

at Virginia Tech 34, Rhode Island 17: Hendon Hooker threw three touchdown passes and the Hokies held off the Rams, who cut the deficit to 17-14 in the third quarter. The Hokies were stopped on three consecutive runs after having a first down at the Rams five on their opening possession and had to settle for a field goal. The Rams fell to 1-18 against Football Bowl Subdivision schools.
