Top 25 roundup Saturday’s other games


No. 1 Oklahoma 49, Baylor 17

WACO, Texas — Oklahoma remembers how to play the role of No. 1. Sam Bradford threw for 372 yards with two touchdowns, DeMarco Murray ran for two scores and four other Sooners got into the end zone in another lopsided victory over Baylor, 49-17 Saturday in the Big 12 opener for both teams. Bradford threw a 53-yard TD to Manuel Johnson only 70 seconds into the game for the Sooners (5-0), who built a 28-0 lead by the end of the first quarter. The Sooners have never lost to Baylor (2-3).

No. 2 Alabama 17, Kentucky 14

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Glen Coffee rushed for 218 yards, Leigh Tiffin kicked a 24-yard field goal with 2:12 left and Alabama held on. Coffee and the Crimson Tide (6-0, 3-0 SEC) mounted a bruising 15-play drive from their own 17-yard line to set up the clinching field goal. Tiffin, who had missed two earlier kicks, drilled this one for a 17-7 lead, and the points proved necessary. Mike Hartline hit DeMoreo Ford streaking down the right sideline for a 48-yard touchdown pass with 40 seconds left for the Wildcats (4-1, 0-1). The onside kick attempt went out of bounds to give Alabama the ball and the game.

No. 5 Texas 38, Colorado 14.

BOULDER, Colo. — Chris Ogbonnaya’s sweet blend of speed and strength put Texas in the end zone and kept Colorado out. Ogbonnaya scored two touchdowns and saved another in the Longhorns’ rout of the Buffaloes.

MANHATTAN, Kan. — Graham Harrell threw six touchdown passes and shattered the Texas Tech record for career yards passing, leading the Red Raiders to an easy win. Lyle Leong snared three touchdown passes from Harrell, who was 38-for-51 for 454 yards. Texas Tech (5-0, 1-0 Big 12), with its highest ranking in 32 years, scored on seven straight possessions and did not attempt a punt until late in the fourth quarter.

No. 12 Florida 38, Arkansas 7

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Tim Tebow threw two touchdown passes, and Jeffrey Demps ran for 103 yards and two long TDs as the Gators rebounded from an upset loss to Ole Miss.

The Florida defense held, and Tebow came back to lead his team on an 83-yard touchdown drive to put it away. The Gators (4-1, 2-1) might be snapping out of their funk in time to host LSU next weekend in a huge Southeastern Conference matchup.
