CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- North Carolina might have kicked Miami right out of the national title race.
Conner Barth booted a 42-yard field goal on the final play of the game, giving North Carolina a shocking 31-28 upset of the fourth-ranked Hurricanes on Saturday night.
When Miami called a timeout just before the kick, fans began lining the hedges just outside the sidelines in preparation for the celebration. The ball flew just inside the left upright, and soon the field was covered with people. Both goal posts went down within minutes of Barth's field goal.
Darian Durant led the Tar Heels (4-4, 3-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) on a 65-yard drive for the winning points, completing all four passes and getting the final 5 yards on a keeper up the middle. He finished 21-for-29 for 266 yards and two touchdowns, and Chad Scott overcame an injured hip to rush for a career-high 175 yards
Miami (6-1, 3-1) trailed by seven points with 5:24 left, but Brock Berlin drove his team 89 yards to tie it. Devin Hester went in on a sweep from the 4, setting up the final possession for Durant and North Carolina.
Berlin was 20-for-35 for 338 yards and two touchdowns, but the Hurricanes had only 77 yards rushing, the first time all season they've failed to reach 100.
No. 1 USC 42, Washington State 12
PULLMAN, Wash. -- Reggie Bush and LenDale White each scored two touchdowns and Dwayne Jarrett caught two more from scores from Matt Leinart.
In rolling up 426 yards of offense, USC (8-0, 5-0 Pac-10) extended its winning streak to 17 games and 12 straight in the Pac-10 Conference.
The Trojans defense held the Cougars to 156 yards, sacking quarterback Alex Brink five times, forcing seven fumbles and limiting the Cougars to minus-9 yards rushing.
Leinart completed 23 of 28 for 235 yards and helped build a 42-0 lead before being replaced for part of the third quarter by backup Matt Cassell. After Cassell miscues led to WSU scores, Leinart finished the game.
Jarrett, a freshman, hauled in TDs of 42 and 4 yards.
The Trojans scored on their first two possessions with Bush sweeping around the right end for a 19-yard touchdown to start the rout.
USC's Desmond Reed recovered a botched kickoff at the WSU 21, setting up White's 1-yard score, and just like that it was 14-0.
Bush's 57-yard punt return gave USC a 21-0 lead midway through the first quarter. He finished with 143 all-purpose yards, including 78 yards on three punt returns.
White's second touchdown came after Mike Patterson recovered Brink's fumble that Shaun Cody forced at the WSU 18, leading to the 35-0 halftime score. White finished with 77 yards on 16 carries.
Georgia 31, Florida 24
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- David Greene threw three touchdown passes, including a big one in the fourth quarter, as the Bulldogs snapped a six-game losing streak against rival Florida.
Greene tied Eric Zeier's school record with 67 touchdown passes and matched Peyton Manning for the most victories (39) by a starting quarterback in NCAA Division I-A history.
More importantly, Greene ended years of frustration for the Bulldogs at the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party. Georgia had lost 13 of the last 14 in the series.
The Bulldogs (7-1, 5-1 Southeastern Conference) scored touchdowns on their first three possessions -- eliminating whatever emotional edge the Gators might have had from this week's firing of coach Ron Zook. Georgia controlled the first half and led 24-7 early in the third period when Florida (4-4, 2-4) seized momentum with two huge plays and cut the lead to 24-21.
No. 8 Texas 31, Colorado 7
BOULDER, Colo. -- Vince Young got a couple of bad throws out of his system early and No. 8 Texas rolled from there, getting 141 yards rushing from Cedric Benson.
Benson and Young ran for a pair of touchdowns apiece, linebacker Aaron Harris and safety Michael Griffin combined on a pair of turnovers and the Longhorns (7-1, 4-1 Big 12) stayed in the running for a BCS bowl by winning their third straight since losing to Oklahoma.
Colorado (4-4, 1-4) struggled on offense. The Buffaloes managed only one first down in the first half and didn't make it past the 50 until the fourth quarter.
No. 11 Tennessee 43, South Carolina 29
COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Erik Ainge threw three touchdown passes as Tennessee overcame early offensive problems to win its 12th straight over South Carolina.
Cedric Houston added a career-high 190 yards rushing and a TD as the Vols (7-1, 5-1 SEC) rolled past the Gamecocks (5-3, 3-3), who were thought to be Tennessee's last real roadblock to the Southeastern Conference title game. The Vols have beaten Georgia and only must get past league doormats Kentucky and Vanderbilt next month to get to the Georgia Dome on Dec. 4.
