Boston College 27, Miami 14

BOSTON

AJ Dillon carried it 32 times for 149 yards and a touchdown, Anthony Brown threw for a score and ran for another and Boston College beat Miami. It was only BC’s fourth victory in its last 22 meetings against Miami. Brown went 15 of 28 for 152 yards with an interception, and Jeff Smith had a TD catch for the Eagles (6-2, 3-1 ACC). Malik Rosier completed 18 of 35 passes for 149 yards and a TD, but was incepted twice, leading to 10 BC points. DeeJay Dallas added a TD run for Miami (5-3, 2-2).

Louisiana Tech 21, FAU 13

BOCA RATON, FLA.

J’Mar Smith threw for 217 yards and a touchdown and Louisiana Tech beat Florida Atlantic to snap the Owls’ 10-game home winning streak. Smith found Teddy Veal in the end zone to extend Louisiana Tech’s lead to 21-13 with 8:27 remaining. FAU appeared to get the ball back with just over two minutes left, but Louisiana Tech’s drive was extended after a 15-yard penalty on the punt. Jaqwis Dancy rushed for 116 yards and one touchdown for Louisiana Tech. Defensive end Jaylon Ferguson broke the C-USA career sack record in the first half with his 38th.

Minnesota 38, Indiana 31

MINNEAPOLIS

Tanner Morgan passed for 302 yards and three touchdowns in his first career start, including the tiebreaking 67-yard scoring toss to Rashod Bateman with 1:34 remaining that gave Minnesota a victory on a rainy night after Indiana rallied with 22 straight fourth-quarter points. Morgan, a redshirt freshman who replaced injured true freshman Zack Annexstad, completed 17 of 24 attempts for the Gophers (4-4, 1-4 Big Ten). After Peyton Ramsey capped a third fourth-quarter touchdown drive for the Hoosiers (4-5, 1-5) with a 2-point conversion pass to Donavan Hale, the teams traded punts. When Minnesota regained possession, Morgan dropped back on the first play and hit Bateman in stride on a go route up the hashmark. Indiana took over at its 25, but Ramsey fumbled it and Minnesota ran out the clock.
