TOP 25

No. 4 Missouri 52, Nebraska 17

LINCOLN, Neb. — Chase Daniel threw three touchdown passes, Derrick Washington ran for 139 yards and scored three times for Missouri’s first road win against the Cornhuskers in 30 years. The defeat was the Huskers’ most lopsided home loss in 53 years and fifth-worst in Lincoln in the program’s 119-year history.

No. 5 Texas 38, Colorado 14

BOULDER, Colo. — Chris Ogbonnaya scored two touchdowns and saved another in Texas’ rout. The oft-overlooked senior running back scored on a 65-yard dump-off and a 13-yard gallop through the befuddled Buffs’ defense, then saved a score when he chased down cornerback Jalil Brown at the Texas 16 after a rare interception of Colt McCoy.

No. 9 Southern California 44, No. 23 Oregon 10

LOS ANGELES — Mark Sanchez threw for 332 yards and three touchdowns and Southern California stormed back from a stunning loss to Oregon State. Sanchez completed 19-of-28 and did not throw an interception.

No. 21 Oklahoma St. 56, Texas A&M 28

STILLWATER, Okla. — Dez Bryant caught three passes for touchdowns and scored another on a punt return, and Oklahoma State took advantage of five first-half turnovers in rolling over Texas A&M. The Cowboys set a school record by surpassing 50 points for the fourth straight game, with some big help from their defense and special teams. Ugo Chinasa and Patrick Lavine each scored on interception returns as Oklahoma State (5-0, 1-0 Big 12) snapped a four-game losing streak to the Aggies (2-3, 0-1).

Hawaii 32, No. 22 Fresno State 29, OT

FRESNO, Calif. — Inoke Funaki threw two touchdown passes and Dan Kelly gave Hawaii its first road win ever against a ranked team with his career-high fourth field goal as the Warriors took advantage of six Fresno State turnovers and three missed field goals to beat the Bulldogs in overtime. Kevin Goessling had a 36-yard attempt blocked by Antwan Mahaley with 43 seconds to play in regulation for Fresno State (3-2, 0-1 WAC). Then on the first possession of overtime, Goessling missed from 40 yards out only to get another chance when Calvin Roberts was called for running into the kicker. Goessling, who also missed three kicks in a 13-10 loss to Wisconsin last month, was wide again from 35 yards, setting the stage for Kelly’s winning kick. The Warriors (2-3, 1-1) ran the ball three times before Kelly converted from 34 yards out to give Hawaii its first road win in 11 tries against a ranked team.

North Carolina 38, No. 24 Connecticut 12

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Shawn Draughn rushed for a career-high 109 yards and a touchdown, defensive lineman Marvin Austin returned an interception 23 yards for another score and North Carolina routed Connecticut. Bruce Carter blocked three punts, Matt Merletti fell on one of them for a touchdown and Draughn’s 39-yard touchdown run started the game-breaking sequence that gave the Tar Heels their first win over a ranked team in three years. Ryan Houston had a 1-yard score and Cameron Sexton threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Hakeem Nicks for North Carolina (4-1), which overcame some shortcomings on the stat sheet by scoring 21 points off Husky mistakes. UConn outgained the Tar Heels 378-263 and had a 10-minute advantage in time of possession, but couldn’t overcome three interceptions by new starter Zach Frazer. Donald Brown, the nation’s leading rusher, ran for 161 yards — 20 below his average — with a touchdown for the Huskies (5-1).
