No. 3 Oklahoma State 59, Baylor 24
STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Joseph Randle set career highs by running for 152 yards and four touchdowns and Oklahoma State started a season with eight straight wins for only the second time in school history.
The other time was in 1945, when the Cowboys finished the season 9-0, won the Sugar Bowl and were ranked fifth in the final poll.
Brodrick Brown recovered two fumbles, and Daytawion Lowe and Justin Gilbert had interceptions as Oklahoma State (8-0, 5-0 Big 12) forced five turnovers.
Robert Griffin III threw for 425 yards to end up 5 shy of his career best set last week for Baylor (4-3, 1-3). In a matchup of two of the nation’s top three offenses, the Bears’ second-ranked attack outgained Oklahoma State’s third-ranked unit 622-601, but the scoreboard was lopsided the opposite way.

No. 7 Oregon 43,
Washington State 28
EUGENE, Ore. — Oregon stars LaMichael James and Darron Thomas returned from injury but true freshman De’Anthony Thomas sparked the Ducks with two second-half touchdowns.
Darron Thomas, who missed a game because of a knee injury, returned to start against the Cougars but threw two interceptions in the first half and was replaced by backup Bryan Bennett in the second.
Washington State (3-5, 1-4 Pac-12) lost its fourth straight. The Cougars hung tough with Oregon for much of the game and trailed by only 15-10 at halftime.
Lavasier Tuinei caught two touchdown passes for Oregon (7-1, 5-0), which has won 21 straight games at Autzen Stadium. The Ducks have also won 17 straight conference games.

No. 8 Arkansas 31, Vanderbilt 28
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Zach Hocker kicked a 42-yard field goal with 6:53 left, and Arkansas rallied again for its fourth straight win.
It was the third time this season the Razorbacks (7-1, 3-1 Southeastern Conference) trailed by double digits. They didn’t trail by 18 as they did against Texas A&M or 17 last week before beating Mississippi. This time, Vanderbilt led 21-7 with 1:39 left in the first half.
The Commodores (4-4, 1-4) also had the ball at the Arkansas 5 in the fourth quarter leading 28-20 when Zac Stacy fumbled and Jerry Franklin picked it up and ran it 94 yards for a touchdown. Tyler Wilson found Jarius Wright in the end zone for the tying 2-point conversion with 13:25 left.
Vanderbilt missed a chance to force overtime when Carey Spear’s 27-yard field goal went wide right with 8 seconds left.

No. 13 Nebraska 24,
No. 9 Michigan State 3
LINCOLN, Neb. — Rex Burkhead scored three touchdowns and ran for 130 yards on 35 carries, and Nebraska took control of the Big Ten Legends Division.
Burkhead, who went over 100 yards for the fifth time in six games, scored at the end of 80- and 89-yard drives in the third quarter to put Nebraska (7-1, 3-1) up 24-3.
Taylor Martinez completed six of seven passes for 80 yards in the third quarter after going 1 for 6 in the first half.
Michigan State (6-2, 3-1), coming off the incredible finish to its win over Wisconsin last week, managed just 187 yards against Nebraska’s improving defense. Kirk Cousins was 11 of 27 for 86 yards, with an interception that set up the Huskers’ first score.

No. 15 Virginia Tech 14, Duke 10
DURHAM, N.C. — David Wilson rushed for 148 yards and Virginia Tech overcame a sloppy performance to win its Atlantic Coast Conference-record 11th straight road game.
Logan Thomas was 17 of 28 for 190 yards with two interceptions and a 2-yard touchdown pass to Eric Martin. Josh Oglesby added a 1-yard scoring run for the Coastal Division-leading Hokies (8-1, 4-1).
They entered as 15-point favorites, were sluggish and inefficient throughout, yet came up with enough plays to claim their fourth straight victory. Virginia Tech rolled up 433 yards and gave up 326 to Duke.
Sean Renfree was 17 of 35 passing for 204 yards but was intercepted three times for the Blue Devils (3-5, 1-3). They couldn’t overcome four turnovers and lost their third straight overall and 44th in a row against nationally ranked teams.

Missouri 38,
No. 16 Texas A&M 31, OT
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — James Franklin’s 11-yard touchdown pass to Marcus Lucas in overtime lifted Missouri to an upset.
Texas A&M got the ball after the score, but Ryan Tannehill’s pass on fourth down was deflected.
The Tigers had a chance to win it in regulation, but a 46-yard field goal attempt sailed wide right as time expired.
Missouri (4-4, 2-3 Big 12) got the ball when Jacquies Smith caused a fumble by Tannehill, which was recovered by Dominique Hamilton.
The Aggies led by 11 at halftime, but Missouri took a 31-28 lead on an 11-yard run by Henry Josey with about eight minutes left. Texas A&M (5-3, 3-2) tied it on a 35-yard field goal about four minutes later.

No. 17 Michigan 36, Purdue 14
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Fitzgerald Toussaint ran for a career-high 170 yards and scored two touchdowns for Michigan.
The Wolverines (7-1, 3-1 Big Ten) gave up a TD on the opening drive of the game, then scored 36 straight points to bounce back from their first loss of the season, two weeks ago at Michigan State.
The Boilermakers (4-4, 2-2) haven’t won or lost consecutive games this year.
Toussaint had 155 yards rushing through three quarters, helping Michigan find a runner to take some of the load off quarterback Denard Robinson. Backup Michael Shaw ran for a 37-yard TD on his first carry early in the fourth for a 36-7 lead.

No. 21 Penn State 10, Illinois 7
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Joe Paterno broke Eddie Robinson’s record for victories by a Division I coach with No. 409 in Penn State’s sloppy win.
The 21st-ranked Nittany Lions (8-1, 5-0 Big Ten) overcame six fumbles thanks to Silas Redd’s 3-yard touchdown run with 1:08 to go.
Illinois (6-3, 2-3) drove from its 17 to the Penn State 25, but Derek Dimke’s 42-yard field goal attempt bounced off the right upright as time expired.
Redd had a career-high 30 carries for 137 yards for Penn State, none bigger than his late run set up after Illinois cornerback Justin Green was whistled for pass interference after breaking up a fourth-down pass for Derek Moye in the end zone.

No. 22 Georgia 24, Florida 20
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Aaron Murray threw two touchdown passes on fourth down and Georgia overcame several mistakes to win its sixth straight game.
The Bulldogs (6-2, 5-1 SEC), at the very least, kept pace with South Carolina in the East Division.
It was Georgia’s fourth victory in the last 22 games against Florida and it could be a big one for coach Mark Richt. He had been under pressure since losing his first two games this season.
The Gators (4-4, 2-4) have lost four in a row for the first time since 1988, a streak that certainly will taint coach Will Muschamp’s first season in Gainesville.
Florida (4-4, 2-4) was eliminated in the division race.

No. 25 West Virginia 41, Rutgers 31
PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Geno Smith threw two second-half touchdown passes and scored a go-ahead TD on a fourth-down, 1-yard run with 6:18 to play as West Virginia rallied past Rutgers in a wet and snowy storm.
Smith sandwiched touchdown passes of 19 yards to Stedman Bailey and 20 yards to Tavon Austin around his clutch dive into the end zone in rallying the Mountaineers (6-2, 2-1 Big East) from a 10-point halftime deficit.
