top 25 roundup Saturday’s other games

No. 1 Florida 62, Florida International 3

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Tim Tebow accounted for three touchdowns and Brandon Spikes returned an interception for a score, and Florida extended the nation’s longest winning streak to 21 games. Florida improved to 11-0 for just the second time in school history and needs two more wins — against Florida State and Alabama — to earn a shot at repeating as national champion. The Gators scored touchdowns on eight of 10 offensive possessions against FIU (3-8).

No. 2 Alabama 45, Chattanooga 0

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Mark Ingram ran for 102 yards and two long touchdowns in the first half, and the Crimson Tide raced to a 35-0 halftime lead in an easy tuneup. That enabled many of the starters to take a break in the second half against the Mocs (6-5).

No. 4 TCU 45, Wyoming 10

LARAMIE, Wyo. — Matthew Tucker and Joseph Turner each ran for two touchdowns, and the Horned Frogs improved to 11-0 for the first time since 1938. The win keeps TCU (7-0 Mountain West) in the thick of BCS contention and clinches at least a share of the conference crown.

Mississippi 25, No. 10 LSU 23

OXFORD, Miss. — Dexter McCluster ran for 148 yards and threw for a touchdown midway through the fourth quarter, before the Rebels survived a last-ditch drive by the Tigers. After recovering an onside kick, LSU’s Jordan Jefferson heaved a pass to Terrance Tolliver that he caught at the Ole Miss 6 with one second left. The Tigers had no timeouts and didn’t send the field goal unit onto the field, and the clock expired as they tried to spike the ball. The win likely gives Ole Miss (8-3, 4-3) second place in the SEC West with a game left to play, and an edge over LSU (8-3, 4-3) when bowl invitations are handed out.

No. 16 Virginia Tech 38, North Carolina State 10

BLACKSBURG, Va. — Ryan Williams ran for 120 yards and four touchdowns and helped make sure the Hokies would send their 21 seniors out of Lane Stadium with a win. Virginia Tech (8-3, 5-2 ACC) also got a career-best day from wide receiver Jarrett Boykin, who caught six passes for 164 yards and a touchdown, and from linebacker Cody Grimm, who forced two fumbles in his final home game. N.C. State (4-7, 1-6) lost its second straight and for the sixth time in seven games. The Wolfpack allowed at least 30 points for the eighth game in a row.

No. 19 BYU 38, Air Force 21

PROVO, Utah — Max Hall threw for five touchdowns and set a school record with his 30th career win, and the Cougars won their sixth straight over Air Force. Hall was 33 for 45 for 377 yards, breaking the mark he shared with 1990 Heisman Trophy winner Ty Detmer. Harvey Unga also became the rushing leader at BYU (9-2, 5-1 Mountain West) after going for 67 yards. He has 3,268 for his career. Jared Tew ran for 88 yards for the Falcons (7-5, 5-3).

Oregon St. 42, Washington St. 10

PULLMAN, Wash. — Sean Canfield threw for 231 yards and two touchdowns as Oregon State kept its Rose Bowl hopes alive. Jacquizz Rodgers rushed for 165 yards and two touchdowns as Oregon State (8-3, 6-2 Pac-10) won its fourth straight game and sixth of the past seven. The Beavers scored on their first three possessions and piled up 567 yards while limiting Washington State to 192.

No. 21 Miami 34, Duke 16

MIAMI — Jacory Harris threw for 348 yards and two touchdowns, and Darryl Sharpton capped his final home game with a 73-yard interception return for a score. Damien Berry’s 2-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter opened the floodgates for Miami (8-3, 5-3 ACC). Leonard Hankerson had career bests of eight catches and 143 yards for the Hurricanes, who scored the final 24 points to keep hope alive for a 10-win season.

No. 23 Utah 38, San Diego State 7

SALT LAKE CITY — Eddie Wide ran for 84 yards and two touchdowns, and the Utes scored all their points in the first half to bounce back from a loss to TCU. Utah (9-2, 6-1 MWC) won its 17th straight at home.

No. 24 Houston 55, Memphis 14

HOUSTON — Case Keenum threw for 405 yards and five touchdowns in just more than two quarters, breaking David Klingler’s school record with 94 career touchdown tosses.
