CONFERENCE REPORTS

No. 10 Indiana 24, at Michigan State 0: Michael Penix Jr. threw for 320 yards and hit Ty Fryfogle for two touchdown passes as the Hoosiers remained unbeaten and set up a showdown next weekend at Ohio State, the only other unbeaten team in the Big Ten East. Fryfogle had 11 catches for 200 yards — both career highs. He did most of that in the first two quarters, when all the game’s scoring occurred. Indiana has won its first four Big Ten games for the first time since 1987, and the Hoosiers won the Old Brass Spittoon for only the second time in the last 12 meetings.

No. 13 Wisconsin 49, at Michigan 11: Nakia Watson and Mason Stokke each scored two touchdowns in the first half, helping the Badgers build a big lead in a road rout. The Badgers returned to competition after canceling two games of their all-big Ten schedule due to a COVID-19 breakout within the program and didn’t look rusty at all against a hapless team. The Wolverines fell behind 28-0 at halftime, their largest deficit at home since the Big House opened in 1927, and are off to their worst start since 1967. The Badgers finished with 341 yards rushing and five scores on the ground.

No. 23 Northwestern 27, at Purdue 20: Peyton Ramsey threw for 212 yards and three touchdowns, all to Ramaud Chiaokhiao-bowman, and the Wildcats’ defense also made two late stops to preserve a fifth straight Big Ten win and the school’s first 4-0 start in league play since coach Pat Fitzgerald was still playing in 1996. Purdue has lost five straight home games in the series.

at Nebraska 30, Penn State 23: Luke Mccaffrey had a hand in two touchdowns in his first start, Nebraska’s defense made two huge late defensive stops and the Cornhuskers held on for their first win while dropping the Nittany Lions to 0-4. Mccaffrey took over for Adrian Martinez, who had started all of his 23 previous games at Nebraska but turned in flat performances in the Cornhuskers’ first two games.

Illinois 23, at Rutgers 20: James Mccourt overcame two long misses in the fourth quarter to hit a 47-yard field goal with three seconds left to lift the Illini to their first win of the season. Chase Brown had 135 yards in 17 carries for Illinois, while Isaiah Pacheco ran 134 yards in 20 carries. Isiah Williams was the Illini’s fourth starting quarterback in as many games.

at No. 6 Florida 63, Arkansas 35: Kyle Trask extended his school record for consecutive games with at least four touchdown passes to six and the Gators overwhelmed the Razorbacks in the Swamp. Trask threw for 356 yards and six scores against Arkansas, which was without coach Sam Pittman and without much of a chance by halftime. It was the second time this season Trask tossed six touchdowns in a game. He’s the only player in school history to accomplish that feat. Arkansas quarterback Feleipe Franks, a threeyear starter for the Gators, was booed in his return to Florida Field and unable to do much to steal the spotlight from Trask.

at Kentucky 38, Vanderbilt 35: Wildcats quarterback Terry Wilson accounted for three touchdowns, Chris Rodriguez Jr. rushed for two scores including a 74-yarder before Kentucky withstood the Commodores’ late rally to end a two-game losing streak. Rested from a week off and with Wilson back from a one-game absence because of a wrist injury, the Wildcats moved the ball at will against the Commodores on an emotional day following the death Thursday of offensive line coach John Schlarman from cancer.

at Mississippi 59, South Carolina 42: Matt Corral accounted for five touchdowns, including a go-ahead 91-yard strike to Elijah Moore in the fourth quarter, as the Rebels rallied to defeat the Gamecocks. Trailing 42-38, Corral found a wide-open Moore waiting in the middle of the field at the South Carolina 45-yard line. Moore then turned and raced into the end zone to put Mississippi ahead to stay.

at West Virginia 24, Texas Christian 6: Jarrett Doege threw two touchdown passes and ran for a score, Leddie Brown surpassed 100 rushing yards for the fifth time this season and the Mountaineers beat the Horned Frogs for the third straight season. It was the first time TCU was held out of the end zone since 2016. With TCU trailing 17-6 in the fourth quarter, Trevon Moehrig fumbled a punt and it was recovered by West Virginia’s Sean Mahone. Two plays later, Doege floated a pass to T.J. Simmons for a 38-yard score.

at Texas Tech 24, Baylor 23: Jonathan Garibay kicked a 25-yard field goal on the final play, his fourth field goal in his first game as the Red Raiders’ kicker, to cap a second-half rally. The junior transfer from Riverside City College, who this week was selected by coach Matt Wells to replace struggling Trey Wolff, also made kicks of 48, 28 and 46 yards. Jalen Pitre returned an interception for a touchdown for the second week in a row for the Bears, who lost their fifth game in a row and haven’t won in Lubbock in three decades.

No. 2 Notre Dame 45, at Boston College 31: Ian Book passed for three touchdowns and ran for another and the Fighting Irish overcame an early deficit to roll against the Eagles. Notre Dame’s eighth straight victory in the series gave coach Brian Kelly his 100th career victory at the school, tying him with Lou Holtz for second all-time. A week after their thrilling victory against Clemson, the Fighting Irish racked up a season-high 561 total yards, led by Book, who finished 20 of 27 for 283 yards and also ran for a 85 yards and a touchdown. Phil Jurkovec, a transfer from Notre Dame playing against his former team for the first time, finished 18 of 40 for 272 yards, a touchdown and an interception.

No. 9 Miami 25, at Virginia Tech 24: D’eriq King threw for 255 yards and a touchdown and ran for a score to rally the shorthanded Hurricanes from an 11-point, third-quarter deficit for their fourth consecutive win. Miami announced it had 13 players unavailable before the game, including three starters and several offensive linemen, but it scored the game’s final 12 points and held the Hokies scoreless on their final five possessions to and stay alive for a spot in the ACC championship game.

at North Carolina 59, Wake Forest 53: Sam Howell threw for school records of 550 yards and six touchdowns and scored the go-ahead rushing score with 4:11 left to help the Tar Heels prevail in a scoring-fest against the Demon Deacons. Howell’s 20-yard keeper capped a comeback from 21 down midway through the third quarter for North Carolina, tying the program record for biggest comeback in a win. The Tar Heels finished with a program-record 742 yards, while the Demon Deacons totaled 606 yards.

at Virginia 31, Louisville 17: Brennan Armstrong ran for two touchdowns and passed for another to lead the Cavaliers in a game that was pushed back a week by a COVID-19 outbreak among the Cardinals. Armstrong scored on runs of eight and nine yards, the latter with 4:29 remaining to give Virginia a two-score cushion. Louisville was without seven players, including tailback Javian Hawkins and wide receiver Tutu Atwell, and coach Scott Satterfield said both absences were COVID-19 related.

at North Carolina State 38, Florida State 22: Bailey Hockman, facing his former team, threw three touchdown passes, two to Thayer Thomas, and Zonovan Knight ran for 94 yards and a score to lead the Wolfpack. Hockman added a four-yard touchdown run in the second for a 21-3 lead, and his final scoring pass made it 35-9 late in the third.
