Wisconsin stuns Buckeyes

By The Associated Press

MADISON, Wis. - Ohio State is one and done as No. 1, after Wisconsin bullied the Buckeyes all over the field then celebrated by jumping around on it with a few thousand friends.

John Clay ran for 104 yards and two touchdowns and James White darted in for the clinching score in the fourth quarter as No. 18 Wisconsin took down top-ranked Ohio State.

For the second week in a row, there will be a new No. 1 in college football, with the Buckeyes (6-1, 2-1 Big Ten) falling the way Alabama was beaten last week - on the road and in conference.

Wisconsin hadn't defeated a No. 1 since 1981, when the Badgers knocked off Michigan 21-14.

"I know this isn't a bowl game or the national championship game, but I just started crying, man; to just be in a situation like that where nobody expects you to win," safety Aaron Henry said. "Nobody really expected us to go out there and win.

"It's an unbelievable feeling. I wish this night could last forever."

This one felt like an upset right from the start.

David Gilreath returned the opening kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown and the Badgers (6-1, 2-1) proceeded to run over the Buckeyes in the first half, taking a 21-3 lead into the break behind Clay and his blockers.

"I challenged our offensive line at the beginning of the week," Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema said. "If we're going to have success, it starts with you guys."

Terrelle Pryor, who threw for 156 yards and ran for 56, guided Ohio State on two long scoring drives in the second half and Dan Herron capped them both with touchdowns to cut the Wisconsin lead to 21-18 with 11:38 left in the fourth.

But the Badgers responded with a long touchdown march of their own, then added a field goal and now No. 1 is up for grabs again - just in time for the BCS standings to make their season debut today.

No. 3 Boise State 48,

San Jose State 0

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Titus Young ran for a score and caught a pass for another touchdown to help Boise State post a lopsided win.

Kellen Moore completed 14 of 16 passes for 231 yards and two touchdowns before putting on a headset to signal plays in the second half for the Broncos (6-0, 2-0 WAC).

Doug Martin also ran for 68 yards and two scores and Young had 105 yards receiving to help Boise State extend the longest active winning streak in major college football to 20 games.

San Jose State (1-6, 0-2) lost its 18th straight to a ranked opponent, including five this season. The Spartans were outscored 204-33 by Alabama, Wisconsin, Utah, Nevada and Boise State.

No. 4 TCU 31, BYU 3

FORT WORTH, Texas - Andy Dalton threw four touchdown passes, including two barely a minute apart late in the first half, and TCU narrowly missed a third consecutive shutout.

The Frogs led 3-0 with two minutes left before halftime when a sack forced the Cougars to punt from their 4. Given good field position, Dalton found Josh Boyce on a 35-yard score.

TCU (7-0, 3-0 Mountain West) got the ball right back on an interception, and Dalton hit Jimmy Young in the end zone for a 14-yard score that made it 17-0 with 26 seconds left.

BYU (2-5, 1-2) had just 14 total yards in the first half but ended TCU's shutout streak at 10 quarters with a 70-yard drive to a short field goal late in the third.

Texas 20,

No. 5 Nebraska 13

LINCOLN, Neb. - Garrett Gilbert ran for two touchdowns and Texas' defense shut down Taylor Martinez to lead the Longhorns to an upset of No. 5 Nebraska, a crushing first defeat for a Cornhusker team that was out to avenge last year's loss in the Big 12 championship game.

Texas (4-2, 2-1 Big 12), which came in as a 9 1/2-point underdog, surprised Nebraska (5-1, 1-1) by turning Gilbert loose in the run game for the first time this season. The quarterback ran for a 71 yards on 11 carries, scoring from 3 yards and 1 yard, and Cody Johnson had 58 of his 73 yards in the second half.

The Longhorns stymied a Nebraska offense that had been averaging 494 yards a game, holding the Huskers to just 202 yards. But the Huskers were still within a touchdown late in the game thanks to Eric Hagg's school-record 95-yard punt return.

Martinez, who came in averaging 147 yards a game and almost 11 yards a carry, was held to a season-low 21 yards on 13 carries before being pulled for Zac Lee in the third quarter.

Texas certainly wasn't prolific offensively, gaining 271 yards. But the defense held the Huskers' ground game in a check, and Nebraska receivers dropped what would have been three touchdown passes.

No. 6 Oklahoma 52,

Iowa State 0

NORMAN, Okla. - DeMarco Murray scored three times to set Oklahoma's career record for touchdowns, and Ryan Broyles broke his own mark for receptions in a game for the Sooners.

Murray ran for 112 yards and two TDs, and scored on a screen pass to surpass 1969 Heisman Trophy winner Steve Owens' record of 57 touchdowns. Owens played before freshmen were eligible.

Landry Jones threw for 334 yards and three touchdowns while completing the highest percentage of any Oklahoma quarterback with at least 25 attempts. Broyles finished with 182 yards on 15 catches and one touchdown.

It was the 12th straight win in the series for the Sooners (6-0, 2-0 Big 12), who face a showdown at No. 21 Missouri next Saturday night. The Cyclones (3-4, 1-2) absorbed their second straight blowout against a top 10 team that was off the week before.

No. 7 Auburn 65,

No. 12 Arkansas 43

AUBURN, Ala. - Cam Newton ran for 188 yards, passed for 140 and accounted for four touchdowns as No. 7 Auburn beat No. 12 Arkansas in a wild game, benefiting from a couple of disputed replay calls.

The teams set a Southeastern Conference record for most points in a non-overtime game. The previous mark was set in South Carolina's 65-39 victory over Mississippi State in 1995.

Newton, leaving little doubt that he's a serious Heisman contender, ran for three touchdowns and passed for another in a game that went back and forth until Auburn (7-0, 4-0 SEC) pulled away in the fourth quarter.

Arkansas (4-2, 1-2) hung on, even after losing star quarterback Ryan Mallett to a head injury in the first half. Backup Tyler Wilson threw for 332 yards and four touchdowns, but also had two crucial interceptions late in the game.

No. 8 Alabama 23, Mississippi 10

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Trent Richardson took a screen pass 85 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter and Alabama's defense was back to form in a victory over Mississippi.

The Crimson Tide (6-1, 3-1 Southeastern Conference) rebounded from a loss to South Carolina that halted a run at No. 1 and ended a 19-game winning streak by smothering Jeremiah Masoli and the league's top scoring offense.

The Rebels (3-3, 1-2) came in averaging 37 points and had scored 97 in their previous two games. Their waning comeback hopes ended with Mark Barron's interception in the final 5 minutes. Marcell Dareus tipped the ball at the line and then DeQuan Menzie batted the ball into the air before Barron caught it.

Greg McElroy completed 17 of 25 passes for 219 yards and two touchdowns for the Tide, which has won the last seven meetings and is 32-1-1 against Ole Miss in the state.

No. 9 LSU 32,

McNeese St. 10

BATON ROUGE, La. - Stevan Ridley ran for two touchdowns, Michael Ford added the first two scoring runs of his career and LSU eventually wore down feisty McNeese State.

They'll need a much better performance next week against No. 7 Auburn, and the crowd at Tiger Stadium must have realized it. The fans booed more than once, despite the Tigers (7-0) pushing their victory margin to double digits in the second half.

The Cowboys (2-4), who play in the Football Championship Subdivision, repeatedly frustrated LSU's offense and remained as close as six until late in the third quarter. LSU's Jarrett Lee and Jordan Jefferson combined for only 103 yards passing, with Lee leading all four TD drives.

Kentucky 31,

No. 10 S. Carolina 28

LEXINGTON, Ky. - Randall Cobb caught a 24-yard touchdown pass with 1:15 remaining then added the two-point conversion to cap a furious second-half for the Wildcats.

Mike Hartline threw for a career-high 349 yards and four touchdowns for Kentucky (4-3, 1-3 SEC), which overcame an 18-point halftime deficit to stun South Carolina (4-2, 2-2).

South Carolina drove to the Kentucky 20 in the final minute, but Stephen Garcia's heave into the end zone was intercepted by Anthony Mosley with 4 seconds remaining. Hartline took a knee to set off a raucous celebration and end two decades of torture at the hands of Steve Spurrier.

South Carolina running back Marcus Lattimore had 212 yards of total offense and three touchdowns but spent most of the second half on the sideline with an ankle injury.

No. 11 Utah 30,

Wyoming 6

LARAMIE, Wyo. - Jordan Wynn passed for 230 yards and two touchdowns, Matt Asiata ran for 109 yards and No. 11 Utah remained unbeaten.

The Utes were held below their 49-point scoring average mostly due to three interceptions thrown by Wynn, including two in the end zone. But they still had no problem with Wyoming.

The Utes (6-0, 3-0 Mountain West) will be heavily favored next week against Colorado State before testing their BCS credentials against No. 23 Air Force, No. 4 TCU and Notre Dame.

Wyoming (2-5, 0-3) ended an eight-quarter scoring drought and scored its first fourth-quarter points this season when backup quarterback Dax Crum threw a 10-yard TD pass.

No. 13 Michigan State 26, Illinois 6

EAST LANSING, Mich. - Kirk Cousins threw a 48-yard touchdown pass to B.J. Cunningham in the third quarter, helping Michigan State to its best start in more than four decades.

The Spartans (7-0, 3-0 Big Ten) started slowly a week after beating Michigan, but they outscored the Illini 23-0 in the second half. They are 7-0 for the first time since 1966, when they won their first nine games before famously tying Notre Dame 10-10.

No. 15 Iowa 38,

Michigan 28

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Ricky Stanzi threw his third touchdown pass to Derrell Johnson-Koulianos early in the fourth quarter and Michael Meyer kicked a 30-yard field goal with 2:53 left, helping Iowa hold off Michigan.

The Hawkeyes (5-1, 2-0 Big Ten) led the Wolverines (5-2, 1-2) by three TDs early in the fourth quarter. Tate Forcier came in for injured Denard Robinson and threw a 45-yard pass to Junior Hemingway and his 3-yard run made it 28-21 with 6:55 to play.

No. 16 Florida State 24, Boston College 19

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Bert Reed's 42-yard touchdown run on a reverse lifted Florida State to its fifth straight victory.

The Seminoles (6-1, 4-0 ACC) overcame four turnovers by quarterback Christian Ponder to win their fifth straight. Boston College (2-4, 0-3) had taken a 19-17 lead early in the fourth on Nate Freese's fourth field goal of the game. That followed Ponder's fumble at the Eagles' 44.

Ponder, who had one of his poorest performances, completed 19 of 31 passes for 170 yards and a pair of touchdowns - 3 yards to Lonnie Pryor and 10 yards to Beau Reliford.

Montel Harris rushed for 191 yards and safety Jim Noel had two of three BC interceptions, including one he returned 43 yards for a third quarter touchdown that made it 17-16.

No. 17 Arizona 24, Washington State 7

PULLMAN, Wash. - Keola Antolin ran for two touchdowns and Arizona overcame the loss of quarterback Nick Foles.

Matt Scott relieved Foles and threw for 139 yards as Arizona (5-1, 2-1 Pac-10) rebounded from its loss to Oregon State last weekend to remain in the conference title hunt.

Washington State (1-6, 0-4) has lost 12 straight Pac-10 games dating to 2008.

No. 20 Ok. State 34,

Texas Tech 17

LUBBOCK, Texas - Justin Blackmon had a career-high 207 yards receiving with a touchdown to lead Oklahoma State to its first win in Lubbock since 1944.

Blackmon's 62-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter was the longest play of the game and put the contest out of reach for the Cowboys (6-0, 2-0 Big 12). Brandon Weeden completed 24 of 35 passes for 356 yards, the touchdown and two interceptions.

The Cowboys went ahead 21-0 in the first quarter after three rushing touchdowns - 15 yards by Kendall Hunter, and 4 yards each by Joseph Randle and Jeremy Smith - and Texas Tech couldn't put together enough offense in the second half to make it a contest.

Taylor Potts, who had 462 yards in last week's 45-38 win over Baylor, went 28 of 43 for 226 yards and a touchdown for Texas Tech (3-3, 1-6).

No. 21 Missouri 30,

Texas A&M 9

COLLEGE STATION, Texas - Blaine Gabbert threw for a 361 yards and three touchdowns and Missouri remained undefeated.

Gabbert connected with Wes Kemp for touchdowns in the first and third quarters to help the Tigers (6-0, 2-0 Big 12) improve to 6-0 for the fifth time in school history.

Missouri's defense held quarterback Jerrod Johnson and Texas A&M's spread offense in check for most of the game, harassing him into a 7 for 21 first half. Texas A&M (3-3, 0-2) finally got going in the fourth quarter, with Johnson throwing a 26-yard touchdown pass to Jeff Fuller, but it was too little, too late to avoid a third straight loss.

Gabbert's third touchdown pass was a 20-yard strike to T.J. Moe that made it 30-3 in the third quarter. Moe finished with six receptions for 110 yards.

Mississippi State 10,

No. 22 Florida 7

GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Vick Ballard ran for 98 yards, Chris Relf added 82 and a touchdown on the ground and Mississippi State controlled the clock, dictated the tempo and kept Florida's mostly inept offense on the sideline.

The Gators (4-3, 2-3 SEC) lost consecutive home games for the first time since 2003 and dropped three in a row for the first time since the Steve Spurrier era. Yep, coach Urban Meyer has accomplished something that even former coach Ron Zook never did.

The Bulldogs (5-2, 2-2), whose victory over Florida in 2004 led to Zook's firing, won in Gainesville for the first time since 1965. They snapped a 16-game losing streak at the Swamp.

San Diego St. 27,

No. 23 Air Force 25

SAN DIEGO - Freshman Ronnie Hillman scored on runs of 65 and 44 yards, finishing with 191 yards on 24 carries to lead San Diego State to an upset of No. 23 Air Force.

Hillman broke his 44-yarder with two minutes left, on the first play from scrimmage after SDSU (4-2, 1-1 Mountain West) recovered an onside kick.

Air Force (5-2, 3-1) pulled to 20-18 on Nathan Walker's 4-yard run with 2:08 to go. SDSU defensive back Andrew Preston stopped Asher Clark at the 1-yard line on a two-point conversion. The conversion play originally was ruled a score, but was overturned after a lengthy review, with the officials ruling Clark's knee was down.

Air Force's Chaz Demerath caught a 7-yard touchdown pass from Tim Jefferson with 18 seconds left.

The Aztecs beat a ranked team for the first time since defeating No. 16 Wyoming 28-24 on Nov. 7, 1996. Since then, they'd lost 25 straight games to ranked opponents.

Air Force was knocked out of the top spot in the MWC. No. 4 Utah and No. 11 TCU are both 3-0 in league play.

Washington 35, No. 24 Oregon State 34, 2 OT

SEATTLE - Jake Locker threw a career-high five touchdown passes, including two in overtime to Jermaine Kearse, and Oregon State's 2-point conversion attempt in the second overtime fell incomplete as the Huskies beat the No. 24 Beavers.

Moments after a late pass-interference call on fourth-down against Washington gave the Beavers new life in the second overtime, Jacquizz Rodgers scored his third rushing touchdown to pull Oregon State to 35-34.

Beavers coach Mike Riley decided to try and end it there, emptying the backfield and putting the game on the arm of quarterback Ryan Katz. His throw to Joe Halahuni was on target, but Halahuni was hit by linebacker Cort Dennison as the ball arrived and couldn't hold on, setting off a wild Washington celebration on the field.
