Wisconsin came out of the gates smoking hot to help establish a 21-3 halftime lead against Purdue at Camp Randall Stadium. Badgers quarterback Graham Mertz threw touchdown passes to wide receivers Skyler Bell and Chimere Dike. Safety John Torchio returned an Aidan O’Connell interception 31 yards for a touchdown. O’Connell, who leads the Big Ten in passing yards per game (325), has thrown for 108 yards in the first half.

Oklahoma State needed to answer and did. Cowboys with a 75-yard scoring drive capped by a 1-yard Dominic Richardson touchdown run to trim Texas’ lead to 21-17 in the second.

In a possible MAC title game preview, the Bulls outscore Toledo 24-0 in the fourth quarter and come up with 3 picks in the final frame to shock the Rockets, 34-27.

About as easy a 41-yard touchdown as you’ll see.

Bijan Robinson sneaks out of the backfield, Quinn Ewers hits him and not a soul really close to No. 5 as he trots in for six.

Texas 21, Oklahoma State 10 early in the second.

Texas leads Oklahoma State 14-10 after a quarter. There were 43 offensive plays run and 11 possessions between the two teams. First quarter lasted 51 minutes.

Oklahoma State had third-and-9 at its own 41. The Cowboys then connected on a 40-yard Spencer Sanders to Bryson Green pass, Texas had back-to-back offside penalties and Dominic Richardson punched it in from 4 yards out. Oklahoma State 10, Texas 7 (9:39, Q1)

Quinn Ewers still looking rough for Texas, missing receivers on three of his first four attempts and throwing a pick, but the Longhorns turn to star running back Bijan Robinson who delivers a 42-yard touchdown run to give the Longhorns an early 7-3 lead over Oklahoma State.

Tennessee handles UT-Martin 65-24, with a puzzling bomb to the end zone on the final play for the Vols, intercepted. Hendon Hooker throws for 276 yards and three touchdowns in less than a half of play, no regulars suffered injuries of consequence, several regulars were held out to get healthier. Kentucky visits Neyland Stadium next, followed by a Tennessee trip to Georgia. The push for an SEC championship and College Football Playoff spot resumes in a week.

The No. 21 Bearcats win, 29-27. Cincinnati holds on courtesy a failed 2-point conversion attempt by SMU with less than two minutes remaining.

Way too many penalties (14 for 127 yards) and miscues, struggles on offense, field goals instead of touchdowns…but Cincinnati pulls out a close one yet again, improves to 6-1 (3-0 AAC).

With today’s result, Luke Fickell is officially Cincinnati’s all-time winningest head coach, surpassing Rick Minter with 54 victories in his sixth season with the Bearcats.

Texas with a disastrous offensive start at Oklahoma State, as Quinn Ewers overshoots Xavier Worthy and throws an interception in Longhorn territory. Cowboys only netted a field goal out of it, taking an early 3-0 lead.

Miami lost quarterback Tyler Van Dyke, turned it over eight times, and fell to Duke 45-21 at home in an embarrassing loss at home for Mario Cristobal. Van Dyke exited in the first half with an injury to his right arm and backup Jake Garcia rallied Miami to a 21-17 lead early in the third quarter with a pair of touchdown passes. But Garcia threw three interceptions and lost two fumbles and Duke took advantage of all of Miami’s mistakes.

Riley Leonard threw for 136 yards and a touchdown and ran for 61 yards and three scores as the Blue Devils improved to 5-3, 2-2 ACC play.

Wisconsin couldn’t have asked for a better start to this game against Purdue. Badgers roll down the field for a touchdown on the opening drive and then come up with a pick-six. Wisconsin began the day last in the Big Ten West, while Purdue is tied for first.

Second straight time Clemson survives a close call ahead of its November trip to Notre Dame, second straight time we don’t know whom the Tigers’ QB will be against the Irish.

Rutgers beats Indiana and gets its first Big Ten home win since 2017, spanning 1,813 days.

Tipped pass on a desperation fourth-and-long throw is caught in the endzone by SMU. Touchdown Mustangs. (DPI was called on Cincinnati, but still.)

Fun finish coming up on ESPN2. Kansas (remember them?) has scored 20 unanswered to cut Baylor’s lead to 28-23 with 6:20 left.
