COLLEGE FOOTBALL ROUNDUP

Top 25

No. 8 Georgia 41, Tennessee 0: Jake Fromm threw a touchdown pass and ran for two more scores as Georgia (2-0 SEC, No. 7 AP) rolled to a 41-0 blowout of Tennessee (3-2, 0-2), which suffered its first shutout loss in nearly a quartercentury. Nick Chubb added 109 yards rushing as Georgia raced to its first 5-0 start since 2012, the last year the Bulldogs reached the Southeastern Conference championship game. Tennessee was shut out for the first time since a 31-0 loss to Florida in 1994. The Bulldogs got more good news in the fourth quarter when quarterback Jacob Eason made his first appearance since spraining his left knee in the season opener. Fromm was 7 of 15 for 84 yards and also rushed for 20 yards before giving way to Eason with the game well in hand. Before Saturday, none of the last six games in this series had been decided by more than eight points. Each of the last three years, the winning team had erased a double-digit deficit. No. 17 South Florida 61, East Carolina 31: Quinton Flowers threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, and South Florida (5-0, 2-0 American, No. 18 AP) extended its school-record winning streak to 10 by routing East Carolina (1-4, 1-1). D’Ernest Johnson rushed for 111 yards and two touchdowns, receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling took an endaround 75 yards for a touchdown and caught a 4-yard scoring pass from Flowers, and Auggie Sanchez returned an interception 43 yards for a TD. The Bulls overcame some rare struggles on defense and remained perfect under firstyear coach Charlie Strong by scoring on 10 of the 12 possessions with the starting offense. No. 18 Louisville 55, Murray State 10: Lamar Jackson had a short but productive day, throwing for 249 yards and three touchdowns after playing just over a half as Louisville (4-1, No. 17 AP) routed Murray State (1-4). The reigning Heisman Trophy winner, who had just one play after halftime, added 100 yards rushing and a TD on seven carries. He’s now just 13 yards short of becoming the seventh player in ACC history to reach 10,000 total career yards. Jawon Pass stepped in after Jackson’s day ended, throwing for 115 yards and one touchdown and added another TD on the ground with 29 seconds left in the game. At halftime, the Louisville men’s basketball team received a more than 90-second standing ovation from the crowd of 47,826 at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium. The school announced David Padgett as the team’s interim coach on Friday. The school has acknowledged its involvement in a federal investigation and placed head basketball coach Rick Pitino on unpaid administrative leave. No. 20 Florida 38, Vanderbilt 24:

Lamical Perine scored three touchdowns, Malik Davis added two and Florida (3-1, 3-0 SEC, No. 21 AP) beat Vanderbilt despite losing starting quarterback Luke Del Rio for the season because of a broken left collarbone. Perine bookended two one-yard plunges around a 13yard scamper as the Gators remained unbeaten in Southeastern Conference play and defeated the Commodores for the 26th time in the last 27 meetings. Perine, a cousin of former Oklahoma and current Washington Redskins running back Samaje Perine, finished with 58 yards on 15 carries. Davis, a freshman, ran 17 times for 124 yards. No. 25 Florida State 26, Wake Forest 19: James Blackman shook off a struggle-filled day to connect with Auden Tate on a 40-yard touchdown throw with 53 seconds left, helping Florida State (1-2, 1-1 ACC, unranked in AP) rally past Wake Forest (4-1, 1-1) for its first win. Blackman — the freshman pressed into a starting role due to injury earlier this year — had thrown for just 81 yards entering that final drive for the Seminoles. But after the FSU defense forced a three-and-out, Blackman was perfect with the downfield shot to Auden.

Big Ten

No. 4 Penn State 45, Indiana 14: DaeSean Hamilton caught nine passes for 122 yards with three touchdowns and became Penn State’s career receptions leader as the Nittany Lions (5-0, 2-0) beat Indiana (2-2, 0-2). Hamilton caught his first two touchdowns from quarterback Trace McSorley and a third from running back Saquon Barkley to cap the scoring in the fourth quarter. He hauled in his 180th career catch midway through the fourth quarter to set the record held by Deon Butler since 2008. Barkley returned the game’s opening kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown and finished with 221 yards to pad his Heisman Trophy resume. Penn State turned two first quarter Indiana turnovers into touchdowns to spark the rout. McSorley added a rushing touchdown, Nick Scott scored on a fumble return and Tyler Davis added a pair of field goals for Penn State. The Hoosiers turned the ball over on their second play of the game when Morgan Ellison coughed it up to Penn State linebacker Jason Cabinda after an 18-yard gain. McSorley capped an ensuing six-play, 39-yard drive with a oneyard touchdown run.
