COLLEGE FOOTBALL ROUNDUP Saturday’s late games


Wash. & Jeff. 28, Geneva 20

BEAVER FALLS, Pa. — Bobby Swallow (West Branch) completed 16 of 25 passes for 255 yards and four TDs to lead W&J in its season opener. Kevin Mathews added 114 yards rushing on 16 carries. Geneva quarterback Bobby Bondi rushed for 100 yards on 19 attempts and completed 26 of 47 passes for 230 yards. Brian Dvorsak caught six passes for 100 yards.

No. 2 LSU 48, No. 9 Virginia Tech 7

BATON ROUGE, La. — Keiland Williams ran for 126 yards and two touchdowns and quarterback Matt Flynn led LSU to scores on four of it first five possessions as LSU (2-0) cruised to a victory over the uncharacteristically hapless Hokies (1-1).

No. 5 Wisconsin 20, UNLV 13

LAS VEGAS — Tyler Donovan scored on a 29-yard boot leg with 1:53 to play and Wisconsin held on for a victory. UNLV, a four-touchdown underdog, took a 13-12 midway through the fourth on a 25 yard field goal from Sergio Aguayo.

No. 7 Texas 34, No. 19 TCU 13

AUSTIN, Texas — Colt McCoy passed for a touchdown, set up another with a long run and the Longhorns played dominant defense. McCoy, who threw two first-half interceptions, including one that was returned for a touchdown, cut a 10-0 TCU lead in the third quarter with a 33-yard strike to Nate Jones. His 23-yard scramble early in the fourth set up the go-ahead score before the Longhorns started piling it on.

South Carolina 16, No. 11 Georgia 12

ATHENS, Ga. — Ryan Succop kicked three field goals, Cory Boyd ran for the game’s only touchdown and South Carolina’s defense kept the Bulldogs out of the end zone. Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier, who beat Georgia 11 out of 12 years while he was at Florida, doesn’t have high-scoring talent at South Carolina (2-0, 1-0 SEC). So the Gamecocks relied on a stout defense and Succop’s accurate right leg to hold off the Bulldogs (1-1, 0-1).

South Florida 26, No. 17 Auburn 23, OT

AUBURN, Ala. — Jessie Hester caught a 14-yard touchdown pass from Matt Grothe to lift South Florida . Auburn freshman Wes Byrum made a 39-yard field goal to start overtime and then Grothe took over. He ran three times, including a sneak on fourth-and-1. On the next play he hit Hester behind the defense for the game-winner.

No. 20 Hawaii 45, Louisiana Tech 44

RUSTON, La. — Colt Brennan passed for 548 yards and four touchdowns and Hawaii stopped a two-point conversion on the final play of the game. Brennan hooked up with Jason Rivers for a 6-yard touchdown on the second play of OT to put the Warriors (2-0, 1-0, Western Athletic Conference) up 45-38, but Zac Champion answered for the Bulldogs with a 2-yard TD pass to Dustin Mitchell.
