RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN... GAME BALL GOES TO... UP NEXT
The 'Canes went on their second scoring spree of the third quarter, putting 14 points on the board in 54 seconds late in the quarter, to take a 49-20 lead. Miami also scored twice in a span of 32 seconds to start the third quarter, turning a 21-13 halftime lead into a 35-13 cushion.In a complete show of dominance, it's tough to single out one guy. But Ken Dorsey proved he can pick apart any defense by going 14 of 27 for 249 yards and three TDs without an interception. Miami's defense, meanwhile, forced FSU redshirt freshman Chris Rix into four INTs and two fumbles.Miami: Oct. 25: vs. West Virginia

Damon Duval hit a 44-yard FG into the teeth of a stiff wind with the rain falling and the final seconds of the game ticking away. Pressure? Yeah, just a little.Duval ... who else?

No. 3 Oklahoma 38, Kansas 10
RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN... GAME BALL GOES TO... UP NEXT

Series: Oklahoma leads, 10-0

Oklahoma 56, Baylor 7

No. 4 Nebraska 48, Baylor 7
RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN... GAME BALL GOES TO... UP NEXT
In sloppy conditions, the Cornhuskers fumbled seven times, so a 14-7 lead in the third quarter was misleading until four fourth-quarter touchdowns put the game away.How about the offensive line? Nebraska ran for 641 yards, as four Huskers ran for 100 or more yards.Oct. 20: vs. Texas Tech
Series: Nebraska leads, 6-0
Last meeting: 2000

RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN... GAME BALL GOES TO... UP NEXT
By halftime, as the final score didn't show the dominating way the Hokies took control of another game. Tech raced out to a 34-0 lead before BC scored with 3:57 left in the third quarter.It's tough to overlook the Hokies defense, which forced three fumbles and scored a defensive touchdown in its fourth straight game when rover Kevin McCadam scooped up a tipped pitch in the first quarter and ran 9 yards.Oct. 27: vs. Syracuse
Series: Tied, 7-7
Last meeting: 2000

RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN... GAME BALL GOES TO... UP NEXT
The game was a blowout by halftime, with Oregon scoring 21 points in the first 12 minutes and up 28-0 by intermission. The Ducks' reserves got nearly as much playing time as the starters. One of the few starters left on the field by the fourth quarter, Maurice Morris rushed for 81 yards and two TDs. So we'll give it to Maurice, just for putting in a full day's work.Oct. 20: vs. Stanford
Series: Stanford leads, 42-21-1

No. 7 UCLA 35, No. 8 Washington 13
RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN... GAME BALL GOES TO... UP NEXT
Long before any potential fourth-quarter rally by the Huskies, who fell behind 21-0 in the first quarter and never got any closer than their 21-6 halftime deficit.301 yards ... 92-yard TD run ... 4 TDs on the day ... DeShaun Foster turned in the best performance by a UCLA running back in school history. A game ball just doesn't seem like enough.UCLA: Oct. 20 vs. California

IT WAS OVER WHEN... GAME BALL GOES TO... UP NEXT
Carlos Hall jumped over his Arkansas defensive linemen to block Daniel Weaver's 32-yard field goal attempt with 48 seconds to play.Hall's play did seal the victory, but the Arkansas quarterbacks -- yes, quarterbacks -- were the heroes. Zak Clark and Matt Jones each converted fourth-down plays on the game-winning drive, which ended with Clark hitting Richard Smith with a 10-yard TD pass with 4:28 left in the third quarter.Oct. 20: vs. Vanderbilt

RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN... GAME BALL GOES TO... UP NEXT
Whew! Fresno State's bid to crash the BCS almost came to a halt, but when they tied it on the last play of regulation on a 48-yard field goal, and Colorado State was stopped on fourth down in OT, you just knew the Bulldogs would pull it out. It's got to go to Fresno State kicker Asen Asparuhov, who kicked a game-tying 48-yard field goal as time expired in regulation and a 41-yarder to win it in OT.Oct. 20: at Boise State

The senior caught seven passes -- all for first downs -- for 112 yards and a touchdown. He returned seven punts, for the first time in his career, for 134 yards.
