No. 1 Nebraska 42, Missouri 24 RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	UP NEXT
Nebraska linebacker Jamie Burrow recovered a fumble and rambled 28 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter. Up until then, Missouri hung tough with the Huskers. Losing quarterback Kirk Farmer to a broken collarbone earlier in the quarter didn't help the Tigers either.	Nebraska wideout Bobby Newcombe, who set a school record with a 94-yard punt return for a touchdown. You may remember the punt return he broke -- Johnny Rodgers' 92-yarder against Oklahoma State in 1971.	Oct. 7 at Iowa State

No. 2 Florida State 59, Maryland 7 (Thursday) RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	UP NEXT
Long before Chris Weinke left the game in the third quarter, but not before the quarterback tweaked his ankle in the second quarter. Anyway, the Seminoles led 32-7 by halftime.	Chris Weinke, who completed just 11 of 15 passes for 236 yards and three TDs before leaving early in the third quarter.	Oct. 7 at Miami (Fla.)

Mississippi State 47, No. 3 Florida 35 RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	UP NEXT
Dontae Walker broke free on a 61-yard run to the Florida 1, setting up quarterback Wayne Madkin's sneak into the end zone for a 40-23 lead with just over eight minutes to play.	The 1-2 punch of running backs Dicenzo Miller and Dontae Walker, who combined for 328 of MSU's 351 yards on the ground. Miller had 172 of those yards, while Walker added 156 yards for an offense that piled up 517 yards overall.	Oct. 7 vs. LSU

No. 4 Virginia Tech 48, Boston College 34 RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	UP NEXT
Lee Suggs scored his second TD of the afternoon in the third quarter to give the Hokies a 42-20 lead. While BC didn't lay down -- scoring twice in the fourth quarter -- it never seriously threatened Tech over the final 15 minutes.	While Suggs finished with 145 yards and two scores, it was Michael Vick who once again put on a show. Despite receiving a scare when he fell awkwardly on his left knee, Vick ran for 210 yards -- the most ever for a Tech quarterback -- and three TDs. His total is the third highest ever on the ground by a Hokie.	Oct. 7 vs. Temple

No. 5 Kansas State 44, Colorado 21 RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	UP NEXT
Jonathan Beasley threw his third touchdown pass of the first half. The toss completed a 21-point outburst by the Wildcats to close out the half and gave them a 34-13 lead by halftime.	Jonathan Beasley, who completed 15 of 25 passes for 293 yards and three TDs. Beasley helped K-State to its 30th straight victory in the month of September, a streak that dates to 1991.	Oct. 7 at Kansas

No. 25 Oregon 23, No. 6 Washington 16 RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	UP NEXT
Matt Smith knocked down Marques Tuiasosopo's fourth-down pass with 1:52 to play. Smith also had an interception for a Ducks defense that spurred Oregon to its 18th straight home victory.	Joey Harrington was efficient in leading the Ducks offense. He threw for one TD and ran for another. But the excitement came from Keenan Howry, who had 128 return yards called back because of Oregon penalties. So, we'll give Howry a ball and hope for no flags.	Washington: Oct. 7 vs. Oregon State Oregon: Oct. 14 at USC

Oregon State 31, No. 7 USC 21 RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	UP NEXT
Ken Simonton bolted 36 yards for a touchdown when the Beavers were just trying to run out the clock, giving the Beavers their final margin of victory with 1:36 left.	Ken Simonton, who ran for 234 yards and three TDs. Simonton helped the Beavers beat USC for the first time since 1967 -- a streak of 26 straight losses to the Trojans.	Oct. 7 vs. Arizona

No. 8 Clemson 55, Duke 22 RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	UP NEXT
The Tigers scored four TDs in a span of 7:18 in the second quarter to build a 35-0 halftime lead. Oh, and the final three scoring drives each took less than 46 seconds.	Gotta go with Woodrow Dantzler, who continued to make a case for Heisman consideration. The ACC's leading rusher had 134 yards on the ground and two TDs. And remember, he's a quarterback. He threw for another 174 yards and a touchdown.	Oct. 7 vs. N.C. State

No. 9 Michigan 13, No. 14 Wisconsin 10 RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	UP NEXT
Wisconsin's Vitaly Pisetsky missed a potential game-tying, 42-yard field goal by less than a foot with 2:42 remaining.	Drew Henson, whose improvisation led to the game-winning touchdown pass to David Terrell. Henson, making his first career start for Michigan, completed 15 of 27 passes for 257 yards.	Michigan: Oct. 7 at Purdue Wisconsin: Oct. 7 vs. Ohio State

LSU 38, No. 11 Tennessee 31 (OT) RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	UP NEXT
LSU linebacker Bradie James broke up a fourth-down pass in the end zone, preserving the Tigers' victory after the Vols had scored the final 16 points in regulation and blocked a potential game-winning field goal as time ran out in the fourth quarter.	Rohan Davey, who wore a brace on his knee because of tendinitis and did his best Willis Reed impersonation after injuring his ankle in the second half. Nevertheless, he threw four touchdown passes in his first start of the year, including the 25-yard game-winner to Robert Royal on the first play of overtime.	Oct. 7 at Georgia

No. 12 Miami 64, Rutgers 6 RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	UP NEXT
Well, Butch Davis figured late in the second quarter when he lifted starting quarterback Ken Dorsey. By then, Dorsey had thrown three TDs and the 'Canes were well on their way to a 41-0 halftime lead.	We just may have enough for the fans who stuck around until the bitter end of this one in Piscataway, N.J. After all, it was the worst loss by Rutgers at home in 112 years -- a 80-0 setback to Princeton in 1888.	Oct. 7 vs. Florida State

No. 13 Texas 42, Oklahoma State 7 RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	UP NEXT
While it may not have been "over," when Roy Williams hauled in a Major Applewhite pass and went 96 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter for a 17-7 lead, the Longhorns were well on their way to victory.	Can we give half a game ball? If so, Major Applewhite gets it. Once again, the Texas offense started slow, but behind its quarterback wound up with big numbers. Applewhite passed for 291 yards and three second-half TDs, as the Longhorns rolled up 504 total yards.	Oct. 7 vs. Oklahoma

Northwestern 37, No. 15 Michigan State 17 RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	UP NEXT
Northwestern's Damien Anderson broke loose on a 41-yard touchdown run with just over six minutes left in the third quarter for a 30-10 lead.	Damien Anderson, who ran for 219 yards on 25 carries. Along with his game-breaking scoring run in the third quarter, Anderson also went 32 yards for a TD in the second quarter.	Oct. 7 at Iowa

No. 16 Oklahoma 34, Kansas 16 RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	UP NEXT
The Sooners decided to play defense; starting late in the second quarter and continuing through the second half. The Jayhawks went scoreless after halftime, but did roll up 284 first-half yards.	Oklahoma quarterback Josh Heupel, who threw for 346 yards and a touchdown. The Sooners' J.T. Thatcher's three interceptions deserve mention, but he was also part of the defense that gave up way too many yards early in the game.	Oct. 7 vs. Texas

No. 17 UCLA 38, Arizona State 31 RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	UP NEXT
UCLA's Cory Paus and Freddie Mitchell teamed up on an 80-yard pass play with 1:31 left in the third quarter to snap a 28-all tie and put the Bruins ahead for good.	Not sure if this says UCLA has a bunch of great backs or it takes two people to replace DeShaun Foster, who suffered a broken hand in the game, but game balls to Jermaine Lewis, who had 104 yards and a TD, and Akil Harris, who added 100 yards and two TDs.	Oct. 14 at California

No. 18 TCU 24, Navy 0 RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	UP NEXT
Actually, when the Horn Frogs scored. Navy only crossed midfield twice and was held to 120 yards.	LaDainian Tomlinson, who became TCU's all-time leading rusher with 3,645 yards. On Saturday, he carried the ball 33 times for 121 yards and two TDs.	Oct. 7 at Hawaii

Penn State 22, No. 19 Purdue 20 RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	UP NEXT
Travis Dorsch missed a 46-yard field goal that would have given Purdue the lead with 2:32 left. The Boilermakers got the ball back, but didn't threaten to score in the waning seconds.	Penn State's Derek Wake, who twice came right through the middle of the Purdue line to thwart Travis Dorsch punts. Wake didn't block either punt, but allowed his friends on special teams to tackle Dorsch and set up touchdowns.	Oct. 7 vs. Michigan

No. 20 Auburn 33, Vanderbilt 0 RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	UP NEXT
Reggie Torbor blocked a Vandy punt in the Commodores' end zone and Casinious Moore fell on the ball for the touchdown and 17-0 second-quarter lead.	The Tigers' special teams, which not only scored on the blocked punt, but also got tricky when kicker Damon Duval threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Lorenzo Diamond.	Oct. 7 at Mississippi State

No. 21 Southern Mississippi 24, Memphis 3 RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	UP NEXT
Dewayne Woods scored on a 52-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter. Memphis never really threatened to pull the upset, but the score remained 10-3 before Woods scored the first of two late TDs.	As has been the case all season, the Golden Eagles' defense set the tone. Southern Miss has not give up a touchdown in more than 13 quarters. It intercepted three passes Saturday, one by Leo Barnes, who went 31 yards for a touchdown with 1:15 remaining to make a close game look like a mismatch.	Oct. 7 vs. South Florida

Minnesota 44, No. 22 Illinois 10 RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	UP NEXT
It became apparent the Illini couldn't stop Tellis Redmon, who ran for 151 of his 183 yards in the first half and the Gophers took a 28-3 lead into halftime.	Tellis Redmon is happy just to have his starting job back, so this ball goes to the Minnesota defense for the job it did on an Illini offense which had scored 140 points in its first four games.	Oct. 14 vs. Iowa

Alabama 27, No. 23 South Carolina 17 RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	UP NEXT
Alabama quarterback Andrew Zow turned the Tide one last time by scoring on an eight-yard keeper with 5:07 to play. Zow didn't start the game, but came in on the third series and never left, hitting 14 of 26 passes for 149 yards.	The Tide's Milo Lewis, who intercepted two fourth-quarter passes, including one that set up Zow's final touchdown run.	Oct. 7 at Kentucky

No. 24 Georgia 38, Arkansas 7 RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	UP NEXT
Bruce Thornton went 21 yards for a touchdown to close out the Bulldogs' first-half scoring. Georgia led 28-0 at halftime.	The Georgia defense, which set the tone with Jamie Henderson's interception return for a touchdown on the first play of the game, and then held Arkansas to just five first downs, 105 yards and no points over the first three quarters.	Oct. 7 vs. Tennessee
