MICHIGAN BEATS TERPS TO SET UP SHOWDOWN

Blake Corum scored twice in the first half, Mike Sainristil intercepted two passes, and No. 3 Michigan — playing again without suspended coach Jim Harbaugh — became the first college football program to win 1,000 games, beating Maryland 31-24 on Saturday.

The Wolverines (11-0, 8-0 Big Ten) remained unbeaten in their final tune-up before next weekend’s showdown against No. 2 Ohio State, but it wasn’t easy. Maryland (6-5, 3-5) rallied from a 23-3 second-quarter deficit and had the ball down five on multiple occasions in the fourth quarter.

The last of those chances came after Tommy Doman’s punt pinned the Terrapins at their own 1-yard with 4:10 to play. Taulia Tagovailoa threw incomplete under pressure in the end zone, the ball falling well short of where receiver Tai Felton was. Officials conferred and called intentional grounding for a safety that made it 31-24 and gave the Wolverines the

ball back.

Corum converted a fourth-and-short run, and after a measurement and a review Michigan could finally exhale.

“From training camp, I felt like we had a good team,” Arizona coach Jedd Fisch said. “And you could just kind of get a sense that when you think you’re a good team and feel like you’re a good team, you can see it and our guys. They play confidently. They believe in one another. They believe in what the mission is.”

They certainly did early against Utah.

The Wildcats (8-3, 6-2) manhandled the two-time reigning Pac-12 champions from the start, building a 28-0 lead by the first play of the second quarter.

Utah (7-4, 4-4) tightened up after that despite playing without three of top defensive players, but Arizona’s defense was just as good.

“We came out hot and didn’t let our foot off the gas,” Arizona safety Dalton Johnson said.

The Wildcats intercepted passes by Bryson Barnes twice in their own end and forced a turnover on downs near midfield to beat four AP Top 25 teams in a season for the first time since 1989. Arizona has won five straight Pac-12 games for the first time since 1998.

All that happened in just the first two quarters. Oregon finished with 603 yards.

California 27, Stanford 15: Fernando Mendoza threw for 294 yards and a season-high three touchdowns, Jaydn Ott ran 36 times for 166 yards and a score, and the Bears (5-6, 3-5) stayed alive for a bowl bid with a road win over the Cardinal (3-8, 2-7) in the annual Big Game.
