Auburn rips apart Gators

AUBURN, Ala. -- Damon Duval kicked a 44-yard field goal with 10 seconds left and Auburn intercepted four of Rex Grossman's passes to shock No. 1 Florida 23-20 Saturday night.

The Tigers (5-1, 4-0 SEC) entered the game as a 21-point underdog against a Florida team that looked invincible in winning its first five games by an average of 40 points

Auburn fans stormed the field and wrestled down one of the goal posts, while Florida players headed to the locker room with their national championship hopes in serious doubt.

It was Duval's third straight game-winning field goal, following a 48-yarder with 18 seconds left to beat Mississippi State and a 49-yarder in the final minutes against Vanderbilt.

Florida (5-1, 3-1) opened the door for No. 2 Miami to recapture the top spot in the rankings.

Backup quarterback Daniel Cobb played most of the game for Auburn, rebounding from a 4-of-15 start to throw for 152 yards. Cobb finished 11-of-23 and also scored on a 1-yard run.

Grossman, who had only been intercepted three times all season, was 25-of-42 for 364 yards and two touchdowns.

No. 2 Miami 49, No. 14 Florida St. 27

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Ken Dorsey threw three touchdown passes and Miami pulled away with a 28-point third quarter.

The loss ended No. 14 Florida State's 54-game home unbeaten streak as well as its 37-game winning streak at Doak Campbell Stadium dating to 1991, when the Hurricanes beat them 17-16.

Florida State (3-2), which played in the national title game the past three seasons, also makes its earliest exit from the title chase since 1990. The Seminoles, who had seven turnovers, last started a season with two losses in its first five games in 1995.

Miami (5-0) extended its winning streak to 15 and made a claim to regain the No. 1 ranking that it lost last week to Florida.

Miami scored in a variety of ways as the defense forced freshman Chris Rix into four interceptions and two fumbles.

No. 3 Oklahoma 38, Kansas 10

LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Trent Smith set school records with four touchdown catches and 11 receptions as Oklahoma (6-0, 3-0 Big 12) stretched its winning streak to 19 games.

Backup quarterback Jason White threw TD passes of 2, 12, 9 and 8 yards to Smith, a 6-foot-5 junior tight end who had 70 yards on his 11 receptions.

No. 4 Nebraska 48, Baylor 7

WACO, Texas -- Eric Crouch scored three touchdowns and Nebraska used 641 yards rushing to overcome five turnovers to beat Baylor in sloppy conditions.

Thunder Collins rushed for 165 yards as four Cornhuskers topped 100 yards. Dahrran Diedrick rushed for 137 yards and a touchdown, Crouch had 132 yards and Judd Davies had 119 yards and a pair of TDs for Nebraska (7-0, 3-0 Big 12).

The Cornhuskers had seven fumbles, including a dropped ball in the end zone by Crouch that Baylor recovered for its only touchdown. Baylor has lost 24 consecutive Big 12 games.

No. 5 Oregon 48, California 7

BERKELEY, Calif. -- Joey Harrington passed for two touchdowns and ran for another as Oregon got off to its best start since 1964, rolling past winless California.

Oregon (6-0, 3-0 Pac-10) led 42-0 in the third quarter of its sixth straight victory over Cal -- and the biggest blowout in the history of a rivalry that dates to 1899.

Harrington was 13-of-20 for 181 yards despite sitting out the fourth quarter.

No. 6 Virginia Tech 34, Boston College 20

BLACKSBURG, Va. -- Grant Noel passed for 225 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another score as Virginia Tech extended its home winning streak to 16 games.

Virginia Tech (6-0, 3-0 Big East) forced three fumbles and scored a defensive touchdown in its fourth straight game when Kevin McCadam scooped up a tipped pitch and ran 9 yards.

No. 7 UCLA 35, No. 10 Washington 13

PASADENA, Calif. -- DeShaun Foster ran for a school-record 301 yards and four touchdowns, and UCLA throttled Washington's high-scoring offense.

Foster, who carried 31 times, scored on runs of 5 and 21 yards in the first quarter, a 1-yarder in the third period and a 92-yarder with 4:02 left in the game. The senior broke the UCLA rushing record of 274 yards by Theotis Brown in 1978.

Foster's scores were the first rushing touchdowns allowed by Washington this season, and the four rushing TDs tied a UCLA mark.

No. 8 Fresno St. 25, Colorado St. 22, OT

FORT COLLINS, Colo. -- David Carr led a game-tying drive in the final seconds of regulation and Asen Asparuhov kicked a 41-yard field goal in overtime for Fresno State.

The win kept the Bulldogs (6-0) breathing in their improbable bid to crash the Bowl Championship Series.

Arkansas 10, No. 9 South Carolina 7

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- Zak Clark threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Richard Smith, and Carlos Hall blocked a field goal with 48 seconds left as Arkansas beat South Carolina.

The up-front defenders for Arkansas (3-3, 1-3 SEC) went low and Hall jumped high to cleanly block Daniel Weaver's 32-yard kick.

Clark's TD pass went through linebacker Kalimba Edwards' hands and was caught by Smith between Sheldown Brown and Antione Nesmith with 4:28 left in the third quarter. The touchdown was the 15th play of a 69-yard drive that consumed 7:28 and was an immediate response to Corey Jenkins' 41-yard touchdown run that had put the Gamecocks (5-1, 4-1) in front 7-3.

No. 11 Texas 45, Oklahoma St. 17

STILLWATER, Okla. -- Chris Simms threw a career-best five touchdown passes, two to Roy Williams in the final 25 seconds of a 31-point second quarter, as Texas beat Oklahoma State.

The Longhorns (5-1, 2-1 Big 12) lost 14-3 last week to Oklahoma, a game that crippled their conference title hopes.

Simms finished 18-of-30 for 235 yards. His five TD passes tied the school record set by James Brown against Baylor in 1994.

No. 12 Michigan 24, No. 17 Purdue 10

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Marquise Walker accounted for 249 yards of total offense as Michigan beat Purdue.

The Wolverines (5-1, 3-0 Big Ten) have not lost to the Boilermakers (4-1, 2-1) in Michigan Stadium since 1966.

Walker caught seven passes for 112 yards and a touchdown, and returned seven punts for 134 yards. The senior fumbled after gaining 3 yards on a double-reverse and also threw an interception.

No. 16 Clemson 45, NC State 37

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Woodrow Dantzler broke a 54-year-old Clemson record by accounting for six touchdowns as the Tigers overcame 20 penalties to beat North Carolina State.

Dantzler was nearly perfect for the Tigers (4-1, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference). He completed 23 of 27 for 333 yards and added 184 on the ground to break his own single-game total offense mark and record the fifth-best in the 49 years of ACC football.

No. 18 Brigham Young 24, New Mexico 20

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Brandon Doman threw three touchdown passes and Brigham Young overcame the absence of its leading rusher to beat New Mexico.

BYU (6-0, 2-0 Mountain West) played without Luke Staley, who sat out the game because the school is looking into his academic eligibility. Staley is averaging 119 yards a game.

With BYU trailing 20-17 late in the fourth quarter, Doman led the Cougars on an 84-yard, 10-play drive. The elusive Doman threw the game-winning touchdown pass -- a 15-yarder to Andrew Ord -- after just managing to avoid a sack.

No. 19 Georgia 30, Vanderbilt 14

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- David Greene threw for 305 yards and two touchdowns as Georgia beat Vanderbilt for its second straight Southeastern Conference road victory.

Greene completed 19 of 26 passes for the Bulldogs (4-1, 3-1). Fred Gibson had six catches for 106 yards and a touchdown.

A 58-yard screen pass from Greene to Gibson on a third-and-19 play made it 21-0 midway through the second quarter.

No. 20 Colorado 31, No. 25 Texas A&M 21

BOULDER, Colo. -- Kory Mossoni forced a fumble with a sack and Joey Johnson recovered the ball and ran 52 yards for a touchdown with 58 seconds left as Colorado beat Texas A&M.

Texas A&M, which trailed 24-14 early in the final quarter, got a quick touchdown on Mark Farris' third TD pass of the game.

Wisconsin 20, No. 21 Ohio St. 17

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Recreating the same comeback from two years ago, Wisconsin spotted Ohio State a 17-0 lead and then roared back for an upset victory.

Mark Neuser's 33-yard field goal with 2:13 remaining capped the revival that came a week after the Badgers' humiliating 63-32 loss at home to winless Indiana. Ohio State (3-2, 2-1 Big Ten) rushed for minus-4 yards in the second half.

Washington St. 45, No. 23 Stanford 39

STANFORD, Calif. -- Jason Gesser threw two touchdown passes to Mike Bush as Washington State beat Stanford to improve to 6-0.

The Cougars (4-0 Pac-10) took the lead on Bush's 11-yard touchdown catch midway through the fourth quarter. Gesser passed for 178 yards in the Cougars' first victory at Stanford since 1988.

Texas Tech 38, No. 24 Kansas St. 19

LUBBOCK, Texas -- Kliff Kingsbury threw for 409 yards and four touchdowns as Texas Tech upset Kansas State.

Running back Wes Welker caught two touchdown passes, including a 60-yarder, the longest scoring play of the season for Texas Tech (3-2, 1-2 Big 12).

It was the Red Raiders' first victory in conference play and the first time coach Mike Leach has beaten a ranked team in five tries since taking over at Tech at the end of the 1999 season.

Kingsbury, coming off a thumb injury, completed 32 of 47 passes. His 409 yards were the most passing yards ever against Kansas State (2-3, 0-3).
