SEATTLE -- Matt Leinart completed 20 of 26 passes for 201 yards and four touchdowns, and Reggie Bush returned a punt 84 yards for another score to lead top-ranked Southern California to its 29th straight win, 51-24 over Washington on Saturday.
Leinart and Dwayne Jarrett combined for three touchdowns for the second time this season. Jarrett caught seven passes for 95 yards and the three scores, and now has 25 touchdown receptions in 20 career games.
Bush's electric, spinning punt return and two Washington turnovers -- two more than the undermanned Huskies (1-6, 0-4) could afford -- propelled USC (7-0, 4-0 Pac-10) to a 37-point first half.
No. 2 Texas 52,No. 10 Texas Tech 17
AUSTIN, Texas -- Vince Young threw for two touchdowns and ran for another and Texas handed the Red Raiders their first loss of the season in a victory that should do nothing but help the Longhorns in their run for the Rose Bowl.
Looking to start 7-0 for the first time since 1976 and move into national title contention, the high-scoring, pass-happy Red Raiders (6-1, 3-1) couldn't keep up with Young and the Longhorns (7-0, 4-0).
Other than a three-point win at Ohio State, Texas' average margin of victory is 37 points.
Cody Hodges did his best to keep the Red Raiders from getting blown off the field, going 42-for-64 for 369 yards and two touchdown passes.
No. 4 Georgia 23, Arkansas 20
ATHENS, Ga. -- Georgia senior quarterback D.J. Shockley went down with a knee injury in the first half, marring the Bulldogs' victory and making it unlikely he will play in a crucial game against Florida.
Shockley threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Bryan McClendon on Georgia's first possession, and Joe Tereshinski did just enough in relief to keep the Bulldogs (7-0, 5-0 Southeastern Conference) on course for a spot in the SEC championship game. They can clinch the Eastern Division title as early as next weekend with a win over rival Florida.
Darren McFadden rushed for 190 yards to set a couple of Arkansas freshman records.
No. 5 Alabama 6,No. 17 Tennessee 3
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Jamie Christensen's 34-yard field goal with 13 seconds left gave Alabama only its second win in 11 seasons over its bitter rival.
It was Christensen's second straight game-winner, but it was a fumble by Tennessee near the end zone on the Volunteers' previous possession that proved to be the key.
Tennessee (3-3, 2-3 Southeastern Conference) appeared poised to take the lead when it had the ball first-and-goal at the Alabama 3. A 1-yard loss by Arian Foster was followed by quarterback Rick Clausen getting penalized for attempting a pass across the line of scrimmage.
On third-and-goal from the 15, Foster caught a swing pass. Alabama's Roman Harper jarred the ball loose near the goal line and it bounced out of the end zone with 5:08 left, giving the Tide (7-0, 5-0) the ball and stopping Tennessee's hopes of kicking a field goal.
No. 11 Florida State 55, Duke 24
DURHAM, N.C. -- Drew Weatherford threw two touchdown passes and backup Xavier Lee added two of his own to help Florida State bounce back from its first loss of the season.
Greg Carr caught three of the TDs and third-string tailback Antone Smith ran for two scores for the Seminoles (6-1, 3-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), who still struggled to generate a running game against the outmanned Blue Devils (1-7, 0-5).
No. 21 TCU 48, Air Force 10
AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. -- Jeff Ballard threw for 302 yards and two scores to help No. 21 TCU remain the only undefeated team in the Mountain West Conference.
Ballard went 20-for-28 to lift the Horned Frogs (7-1, 5-0) to their sixth straight victory and remain alone in first place in their first season in the Mountain West.
North Carolina 7, No. 23 Virginia 5
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Ronnie McGill ran for 118 yards while Cedrick Holt had a key interception late to cap a stellar defensive effort and help North Carolina hold off Virginia.
Matt Baker connected with Rikki Cook for the game's only touchdown in the first quarter, which ultimately proved to be all the Tar Heels (3-3, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) would need to bounce back from a humiliating loss at Louisville two weeks ago.
No. 24 Fresno State 40, Idaho 10
MOSCOW, Idaho -- Fresno State's Joe Fernandez returned a punt 72 yards for a touchdown, and Jaron Fairman returned a blocked punt for another score in a game that was determined by special teams play.
The Bulldogs (5-1, 3-0 WAC) started slowly in the first half, but scored 24 straight points and held Idaho scoreless in the second half to get the win.
