ATHENS, Ga. -- Erik Ainge bounced back, and so did the Tennessee Volunteers.
Coming off a dismal performance the previous week, Ainge threw a pair of touchdown passes to lead No. 17 Tennessee to a 19-14 upset of third-ranked Georgia on Saturday.
The Vols, a 121/2-point underdog, prevented Georgia from taking control of the Southeastern Conference Eastern Division. They built a quick 10-0 lead and held off the Bulldogs (4-1, 2-1 SEC) at the end.
Driving from its own 12 to the Tennessee 19, Georgia had one shot at the end zone with a second remaining -- and the chance for an improbable victory. Appropriately, David Greene's pass over the middle didn't come close to connecting with anyone, falling harmlessly to the ground.
Tennessee (4-1, 2-1) was coming off a 34-10 loss to Auburn at home. Playing their first road game of the season with a freshman quarterback, the Vols ended Georgia's 17-game winning streak at Sanford Stadium -- the second-longest in school history.
No. 6 Auburn 52, La. Tech 7
AUBURN, Ala. -- Jason Campbell passed for 201 yards and two touchdowns, including an Auburn-record 87-yarder to Silas Daniels.
The Tigers are 6-0 for the first time since the 1997 season, with only one game decided by under 24 points. They are in line for another move in the rankings after Oklahoma's 12-0 victory over No. 5 Texas.
Louisiana Tech's Ryan Moats, the nation's No. 2 rusher, limped off the field in the first quarter with a sprained right ankle and didn't return. Moats finished with no yards on three carries after coming in averaging 185.6 per game for the Bulldogs (3-3).
Ronnie Brown gained 109 yards on 10 carries with a touchdown for Auburn, and Carnell Williams had 56 yards on 12 carries and also scored while setting up a TD with a 50-yard punt return. Auburn also had nine sacks.
No. 22 Oklahoma St. 42,Colorado 14
BOULDER, Colo. -- Vernand Morency ran for 165 yards and two touchdowns and Donovan Woods threw for three more scores for Oklahoma State.
Oklahoma State (5-0, 2-0 Big 12) established its powerful running game early, blowing the Buffaloes back on Morency's 58-yard touchdown run on its third play. Morency added a 6-yard touchdown run in the second quarter, eclipsing 100 yards for the seventh straight regular-season game.
Lawrence Vickers had 168 total yards -- 72 rushing, 96 receiving -- and scored on a 6-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter for Colorado (3-2, 0-2).
Georgia Tech 20, No. 23 Maryland 7
COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Georgia Tech ended Maryland's 13-game home winning streak in stunning fashion, blanking the Terrapins through three quarters and forcing out ineffective quarterback Joel Statham.
Reggie Ball threw for 197 yards and a touchdown to help the Yellow Jackets (3-2, 2-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) snap a two-game losing streak.
The Terrapins (3-2, 1-1) were undefeated at home since September 2002 and 21-1 at Byrd Stadium since coach Ralph Friedgen took over the program in 2001.
Mississippi 31, No. 25 South Carolina 28
COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Ethan Flatt found Bill Flowers in the corner of the end zone for a 29-yard touchdown pass with 1:05 left to lift Mississippi past South Carolina.
Flowers sneaked behind the Gamecocks' defense on fourth-and-10 and made a tough catch on an underthrown ball, just staying inbounds.
