No. 7 Oklahoma 63, Florida Atlantic 14: NORMAN, Okla. – Kyler Murray, taking over for Heisman Trophy winner Baker Mayfield this season, passed for 209 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Sooners. Murray connected on 9 of 11 passes in just under one half of action. He also ran for 23 yards on four carries.

Marquise Brown caught six passes for 133 yards and a touchdown, and Rodney Anderson rushed for 100 yards and two touchdowns on just five carries. Lee Morris caught a 65-yard touchdown pass and blocked a punt for the Sooners.

No. 16 TCU 55, Southern 7: FORT WORTH, Texas – Shawn Robinson threw touchdowns to three different receivers and ran for two more scores while playing only the first half as TCU rolled. Robinson, who won his only start last season as a true freshman, came out of preseason camp as the starting quarterbac­k. The Horned Frogs scored on their first six drives to take a 38-7 lead before fellow sophomore Michael Collins, a former transfer from Penn, took over after halftime.

Derius Davis caught a 12-yard TD from Robinson and the true freshman later returned a punt 73 yards for a score as the Frogs won their 17th consecutiv­e home opener under coach Gary Patterson, who started his 18th full season.

TCU got a field goal on its opening drive before Robinson, who completed 17 of 24 passes for 182 yards, accounted for touchdowns on the next five drives. He scored on his only two rushing plays from 36 and 9 yards.

Mississipp­i 47, Texas Tech 27: HOUSTON – Jordan Ta’amu threw for 336 yards and two touchdowns and Scottie Phillips ran for a career-high 204 yards and two more scores to give Mississipp­i a 47-27 win over Texas Tech on Saturday.

Phillips extended Mississipp­i’s lead to 37-20 when scampered 65 yards for a touchdown with about seven minutes left in the third quarter.

Da’Leon Ward’s second touchdown on a 9-yard run got Texas Tech within 10 later in the third.
