The Associated Press
Alabama rallied from a three-touchdown deficit, but the Sooners scored two touchdowns in the final three minutes to win 37-27 Saturday.
No. 2 Oklahoma 37, Alabama 27
NORMAN, Okla. — The first game between Oklahoma and Alabama since 1970 proved to be worth the wait.
Rejuan Jones' 8-yard run with 2:11 remaining capped an 80-yard drive that gave the Sooners a 30-27 lead. With 24 seconds left, safety Eric Bassey picked up a fumble and returned it 45 yards for the clinching score.
Lord had his best passing game yet this season, completing 6-of-12 for 105 yards and two touchdowns and running for two more TDs as ninth-ranked Nebraska defeated Utah State 44-13 Saturday night.
No. 9 Nebraska 44, Utah State 13
"I like the attitude of our players, when they had to, to come together," coach Bob Stoops said. "They really showed determination and made plays when they had to. A lot of teams don't do that."
LINCOLN, Neb. — Three games into the post-Eric Crouch era, Jammal Lord and the Nebraska Cornhuskers are showing steady improvement on offense.
The'Huskers, who barely topped 300 yards in the first two games, finished with 418 yards on offense.
No. 17 Colorado 34.San Diego State 14
BOULDER, Colo. — Colorado found an ample replacement for concussion-plagued quarterback Craig Ochs Saturday.
Robert Hodge, who logged only 10 offensive plays last season, subbed for Ochs in the second half and helped lead the Buffaloes past San Diego State 34-14.
Adam Hall had a career night throwing the ball for San Diego State, going 39-of-59 passing for 359 yards. But the Aztecs came up empty on all five of their trips into Colorado territory in the second half. One possession ended with a missed field goal, while another was stopped by a sack on fourth down.
Ochs left at halftime with his third concussion in 14 months, but Hodge didn't miss a beat, guiding Colorado to a pair of second-half scores — both by Chris Brown, who ran for 185 yards.
A&M lost most of its two-touchdown lead when Rod Rutherford—who had struggled for three quarters—carried Pittsburgh to two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. But the Panthers couldn't convert after either score. Two penalties led to a missed extra-point kick after the first touchdown, and
No. 20 Texas A&M 14, Pittsburgh 12
PITTSBURGH — A narrow victory far from home wasn't enough to end Texas A&M's muddled quarterback situation.
"I like the attitude of our players when they had to,to come together."
Bob Stoops
Oklahoma coach
Rutherford threw incomplete on a 2-point try after the second, which would have tied the game.
Pittsburgh got the ball back one more time, but Rutherford fumbled on third-and-17 from his own 29 with 11 seconds left. Randall Webb recovered for A&M.
AMES, Iowa - Seneca Wallace threw three touchdown passes and Hiawatha Rutland ran for 138 yards as Iowa State cruised to a 58-6 victory over Tennessee Tech on Saturday night.
Iowa State 58, Tennessee Tech 6
As expected, the game turned out to be little more than a tuneup for Iowa State's game at Iowa next Saturday. It was the most points by an Iowa State team since a 64-9 victory over Indiana State in 1986.
Iowa State scored on its first five possessions and scored two defensive touchdowns to build a 37-0 lead less than 21 minutes into the game.
Baylor 50, Samford 12
WACO, Texas — Jonathan Golden scored a school-record six touchdowns Saturday night as Baylor bounced back from a 48-point loss to California for a 50-12 victory over Samford.
Golden scored four touchdowns in the first half on runs of 4, 1, 3 and 16 yards against the undermanned NCAA Division I-AA Bulldogs (1-1) of Birmingham, Ala. He kept rolling in the third period with a 17-yard touchdown run and a 28-yard scoring catch from Aaron Karas.
Golden, a sophomore, broke the Baylor record of four rushing touchdowns held by three players and tied the Big 12 touchdown mark also held by Colorado's Chris Brown, Texas' Ricky Williams and Oklahoma's Quentin Griffin.
Missouri 41, Ball St. 6
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Quarterback Brad Smith ran for 105 yards, including a 39-yard touchdown scramble, and threw for another score to lead Missouri past Ball State 41-6 Saturday night.
Zack Abron had two of his three short touchdown runs in Missouri's 27-point third quarter.
Marcus Merriweather led the Cardinals (0-1) with 115 yards on 26 carries.
Missouri, which upset Big Ten champion Illinois last week, forced four fumbles and got two touchdowns off turnovers.
Smith finished with 176 yards on 14-of-27 passing Saturday.

Zach, Zach, he's our man, if he can't do it,
Whittemore can't either. Maybe it's the offensive line minus Sands, Later.
their team, and then Mangino can be like "I'm with the house now."

Uh, this is just an FYI to all freshman. The Phog Phanatics suck, and if they ask you to join them, say no. No! You nasty people.
I think KU football should let Milhouse walk on

Yeah, is this the, uh, the line for Kirk Hinrich?
Are ya there, Kirk? Bye.
Yeah, so I just saw the ending of the US/Argentina game, and how the best players in the United States from the NBA just got beat by a bunch of nobody Argentinians. What's up with that?

I think the Union bookstore should change the name of its promotion from Touchdown Tuesdays to Johnny Beck Tuesdays, because, let's be honest, we're never gonna score a touchdown.

Edit: they should change it from Touchdown Tuesdays to First-down Tuesdays. Snap.
