TOP 25 ROUNDUP \ Saturday’s other games

No. 2 LSU 28, No. 12 South Carolina 16

BATON ROUGE, La. — The Tigers used a fake field goal to score one touchdown and piled up 288 yards rushing. Midway through the second quarter, the Tigers set up for a field goal attempt from 32 yards. However, the holder, quarterback Matt Flynn flipped the ball over his shoulder to kicker Colt David, who ran it in for a touchdown run and a 21-7 halftime lead.

No. 3 Florida 30, Mississippi 24

OXFORD, Miss. — Tim Tebow passed for two touchdowns, ran for two more and set a school record for quarterbacks with 166 yards rushing. The Gators (4-0) got off to a slow start and allowed the Rebels (1-3) back into the game at the start of the fourth quarter. But Tebow came up with a handful of clock-killing runs after he engineered two second-half touchdown drives, scoring on a 6-yard run and throwing a 37-yard touchdown pass to Louis Murphy.

No. 5 West Virginia 48, East Carolina 7

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Pat White threw for two touchdowns and ran for two more. Steve Slaton rushed for 110 yards and a score to match a school record for career touchdowns, and the Mountaineers (4-0) rolled up 599 total yards against the Pirates (1-3), who suffered their most lopsided loss under third-year coach Skip Holtz. The Mountaineers didn’t allow a score until the final two minutes, limiting the Pirates to nine first downs and 160 total yards.

No. 6 California 45, Arizona 27

BERKELEY, Calif. — Justin Forsett rushed for 117 yards and two touchdowns, and No. California settled another year-old score with a 28-point first quarter. Nate Longshore passed for 235 yards and a touchdown, while Jahvid Best and James Montgomery made scoring runs for the Golden Bears (4-0, 1-0), whose 24-20 loss in Tucson last season denied them an outright Pac-10 championship and a probable trip to Cal’s first Rose Bowl in nearly a half-century.

No. 14 Boston College 37, Army 17

BOSTON — Matt Ryan threw for 356 yards and accounted for four touchdowns before leaving the game midway through the fourth quarter. Ryan, who also threw two interceptions, moved into third place on BC’s career passing list behind Doug Flutie and Glenn Foley with 6,147 yards. The senior quarterback finished 35-for-51 with three touchdown passes and a TD run, and connected with Kevin Challenger nine times for 104 yards before being replaced by Chris Crane for garbage time.

No. 15 Clemson 42, N.C. State 20

RALEIGH, N.C. — C.J. Spiller and James Davis each caught a touchdown pass and rushed for another. Davis rushed for a season-high 166 yards with a 3-yard touchdown catch and a 1-yard scoring run, while Spiller — a week after Furman held him to minus-1 yard — finished with 114 yards with an 11-yard TD catch and a 44-yard scoring run.

No. 17 Virginia Tech 44,
William & Mary 3

BLACKSBURG, Va. — Brandon Flowers returned an interception 49 yards for a touchdown and Eddie Royal scored on a 60-yard punt return. The Hokies (3-1) dominated from the beginning against the Tribe (2-2) of the Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA), scoring three touchdowns and two field goals in the first quarter. They turned to Beamerball tactics for their most lopsided victory of the season.

Syracuse 38, No. 18 Louisville 35

LOUISVILLE, Ky.— Andrew Robinson threw for a career-high 423 yards and four touchdowns to help Syracuse stun Louisville. Taj Smith caught four passes for 173 yards and two touchdowns for the Orange (1-3, 1-0 Big East) as Syracuse ended Louisville’s 20-game home winning streak by dominating the listless Cardinals (2-2, 0-1). The victory was Syracuse’s first road conference win and first victory over a ranked team since beating Boston College at the end of the 2004 season. Brian Brohm completed 45 of 65 passes for a career-high 555 yards and four scores for Louisville, but the Cardinals’ defense allowed Syracuse — which entered the game ranked near the bottom nationally in every offensive category — to pile up 465 yards and make big play after big play.

No. 21 Kentucky 42, Arkansas 29

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Andre Woodson and Kentucky have the comeback down pat. Woodson threw a 32-yard touchdown pass to Keenan Burton with 4:02 remaining to give the Wildcats the lead. The Razorbacks led 29-22 after Felix Jones returned a free kick 82 yards for a touchdown early in the fourth quarter. But for the second straight week, Arkansas couldn’t hold on late and Kentucky came from behind in the fourth quarter. Derrick Locke’s 2-yard touchdown run made it 29-27, and although the 2-point conversion attempt was stopped, the Razorbacks couldn’t move the ball and had to punt. Kentucky (4-0, 1-0) went 68 yards in 1:33, taking the lead when Burton came down with Woodson’s pass between two defenders. Woodson then found Burton for a 2-point conversion, and after Arkansas turned the ball over on downs, the Wildcats scored again on Woodson’s 1-yard run.

No. 23 South Florida 37,
North Carolina 10

TAMPA, Fla. — South Florida validated its first Top 25 ranking and the Bulls set themselves up for next week’s much-anticipated Big East showdown against No. 5 West Virginia. Matt Grothe led long touchdown drives on USF’s first two possessions, while the Bulls’ swarming defense forced four turnovers and kept the young, rebuilding Tar Heels out of the end zone until just over a minute remained.

No. 25 Missouri 38, Illinois St. 17

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Chase Daniel threw three touchdown passes and No. 25 Missouri had 581 yards of total offense. Daniel was 21-for-34 for 294 yards and two interceptions. He has thrown 13 touchdown passes this season after setting a school record with 28 in 2006 in his first year as a starter for Missouri (4-0).
