No. 4 Oklahoma 17, Iowa State 7
The Oklahoma offense, ranked fourth in the nation coming into the game and known for being unstoppable, didn’t show up in Ames, Iowa. The Sooner running backs rushed for three yards per carry, and quarterback Sam Bradford was 16-for-28 with an interception. Luckily for Oklahoma, senior cornerback D.J. Wolfe recorded his fourth interception of the year late in the fourth quarter to ensure a Sooner victory.
No. 15 Missouri 41, No. 22 Texas Tech 10
The much-hyped match-up between two of the nation’s most statistically superior quarterbacks turned out to be a mismatch. Although Mizzou quarterback Chase Daniel threw for 209 yards and one touchdown on 14-for-19 passing, he was better than his competitor. Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell, a Heisman candidate coming into the game, threw four interceptions.
No. 19 Texas 31, Baylor 10
The Baylor defense held its own against the Texas for three quarters. Baylor forced Texas quarterback Colt McCoy to throw two interceptions and held running back Jamaal Charles to 2.9 yards per carry. But the BU offense fell into a similar trap by throwing four interceptions. In the past two weeks, five different quarterbacks have played for Baylor.
Oklahoma State 41, No. 25 Kansas State 39
Last year, Wildcat quarterback Josh Freeman made his first career start against the Cowboys. This year, Freeman had his best career performance against them with 414 yards and three touchdowns. But the Kansas State rush defense was horrendous and gave up 316 rushing yards. In the end, though, the game came down to a last-second, 25-yard field goal by Oklahoma State.
Texas A&M 36, Nebraska 14
The Aggies handed the Cornhuskers their third consecutive loss, all by at least 20 points. Nebraska’s offense looked better behind quarterback Sam Keller’s 275 yards but the defense did little to help. Texas A&M quarterback Stephen McGee rushed for a career-high 167 yards on a helpless Nebraska front-seven.
Top 25 games
No. 1 Ohio State 24, Michigan State 17
The nation’s top-ranked team nearly gave up a 24-point lead by committing two turnovers in the final half.
Rutgers 30, No. 2 South Florida 27
Rutgers scored a touchdown on a fake field goal and set up another one through a fake punt.
No. 5 LSU 30, No. 18 Auburn 24
LSU’s Demetrius Byrd caught the game-winning touchdown with one second remaining to send visiting Auburn packing in a thriller.
Vanderbilt 17, No. 6 South Carolina 6
Commodore sophomore quarterback Mackenzi Adams threw for two touchdowns in the first quarter as his team defeated the highest-ranked team in school history.
No. 15 Florida 45, No. 8 Kentucky 37
The two quarterbacks in this game showed why they are Heisman front-runners. Kentucky’s Andre Woodson threw for 415 yards and five touchdowns on 35-for-50 passing. But the UK defense had no answer for Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, who threw four touchdowns and 256 yards and added 78 rushing yards.
No. 9 West Virginia 38, Mississippi State 13
Mountaineer quarterback Pat White threw for two touchdowns and ran for one within the first nine minutes of the game.
UCLA 30, No. 10 California 21
UCLA sophomore cornerback Alterraun Verner recorded two interceptions that proved to be the difference in the game.
No. 13 USC 38, Notre Dame 0
USC showed defensive perfection by holding the Irish to 134 total yards. Mark Sanchez threw for 235 yards and four touchdowns.
Alabama 41, No. 20 Tennessee 17
Crimson Tide senior receiver D.J. Hall set the all-time Alabama receptions in game record with 13 catches for 185 yards and two touchdowns.
Pittsburgh 24, No. 23 Cincinnati 17
Panther freshman running back LeSean McCoy ran for 137 yards, his fourth 100-yard performance on the year.
No. 24 Michigan 27, Illinois 17
Michigan’s Carlos Brown, filling in for Mike Hart, rushed for 113 yards, and Chad Henne threw two touchdown passes in the road victory.
