On a night when he had a 91-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter, Kyren Williams once again gave credit to his offensive line as No. 11 Notre Dame held off Sam Howell and upset-minded North Carolina 44-34 on Saturday in a game that had over 1,0 00 yards in offense. "Their blocking means everything to me because I know what they do every week," the 5-foot-9, 199-pound Williams said after rushing for a career-high 199 yards on 22 carries. "I just appreciate all of my boys working collectively as a group." Coach Brian Kelly's Fighting Irish improved to 7-1 with their third straight victory - and ruined the 400th collegiate game for North Carolina Hall of Fame coach Mack Brown. "We did some good things with good balance on offense running it and t hrowing it," Kelly said. "I really love this team. I love their grit but I like they are getting better." The Irish won despite being outgained by the Tar Heels (4-4) in total yardage, 554-523. But the Irish outrushed the Tar Heels 293-223.Despite the loss, Brown was impressed by both teams' play. "I thought it was a great game," he said. "Both teams played really hard, both offenses ran up and down the field ,and neither defense played great." Howell, who became the Tar Heels' first quarterback with over 10,000 passing yards in his junior season, finished with 341 yards on 24-of-31 passing with one touchdown and one interception. He added another 101 yards on 18 carries, one a 31-yard touchdown run that kept the Tar Heels in it at 41-34 with 7: 23 to play. It was the third game this season he has passed for over 300 yards and rushed for more than 100. "He's a warrior," Kelly said. - Notre Dame/AP College Football

Wake Forest's offense has spent the past two weeks moving briskly up and down the field. The good news is the defense came along for the ride with a strong performance of its own after a rough few weeks. And that has carried these 13th-ranked Demon Deaco ns to the best start in program history. Sam Hartman continued his recent tear by accounting for five touchdowns to help Wake Forest beat Duke 45-7 on Saturday, keeping them and in the mix for bigger goals - think an Atlantic Coast Conference championshi p and being in the College Football Playoff race - than have typically been seen around these parts. "It's just guys play for each other, not playing for themselves," Hartman said. "That's going to be the biggest challenge. You get the accolades, you get the awards ... and it's: can we keep playing for each other and not play for ourselves? "It's enjoyable though. The success, we've earned this success. But nothing's going to be given for the rest of the year and we're going to have to keep showing up a nd keep being consistent." Hartman threw for 402 yards and three touchdowns, including a 38-yarder to Jaquarii Roberson on the first possession. He also ran for 61 yards and two scores for the Demon Deacons (8-0, 5-0).It came a week after Hartman threw for five touchdowns and ran for a sixth score in a 70-56 victory over Army. That tied this year's team for the best start in program history set in 1944, nine years before the formation of the ACC. Now Dave Clawson's bunch owns a new milestone in w hat is becoming a special season for the league-leading Demon Deacons - a group using the motto of going from "good to great." Christian Beal-Smith, Ke'Shawn Williams and Taylor Morin also had touchdowns for Wake Forest, which finished with 677 total yar ds. - Wake Forest/AP College Football

Kyren Williams and No. 13 Notre Dame's offensive line took a big step forward Saturday night, withstanding Southern California's fourth-quarter rally for a 31-16 victory. With fellow running back Chris Tyree sidelined by turf toe, Williams had two short touchdown runs and a season-high 138 yards on 25 carries for coach Brian Kelly's 6-1 team, and after the game saluted his offensive linemen for his performance. "Shoutout to the O-linemen for working hard and making it possible," Williams said about the rebuilt line that lost four starters from last season. "I just had to have the mindset to dominate and not be stopped by anybody." Williams, a preseason Associated Press All-American who rushed for 1,175 yards last season, entered Saturday's game with ju st 370 yards. He also gained another 42 yards with a team-high six receptions.Williams scored on a 5-yard run in the second quarter while helping the Irish to a 17-3 halftime lead and then added a 1-yard run late in the third quarter to put the Ir ish up 24-3 en route to their fourth straight victory in the 92-game series. "Kyren ran with an attitude that was just pervasive throughout the entire offense.," Kelly said. "We needed to see our offense mature, and tonight the offense began to come toge ther the way we wanted. We played faster. We put Jack (Coan) in position where the ball came out quick. It gave us the kind of offensive flow we've been looking for." Coan completed 20 of 28 passes for 189 yards and one TD, a 4-yard scoring pass to Avery Davis that put the Irish up 7-0 in the first quarter. Jonathan Doerer had a 21-yard field goal in the second quarter. - Notre Dame/AP College Football

When it was over, Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson used one word to describe it: "Wow!" Sam Hartman threw for a career-high 458 yards and five touchdowns in a big-play display and ran for another score, and No. 16 Wake Forest defeated Army 70-56 on Saturda y to remain unbeaten in front of a sellout crowd at Michie Stadium. "It felt like whoever had the ball last was going to win," Clawson said. "That was about as clean a performance as I've ever seen. Every time we had to make a play we made a play. We fou nd a way to win." Army (4-3), which lost its third straight and had its 13-game winning streak at Michie Stadium snapped, had not defeated a ranked opponent since a 17-14 victory over Air Force in 1972. Still, the Black Knights made Wake Forest (7-0) ear n this one, matching them on the scoreboard until a costly turnover.Hartman was unstoppable and rarely pressured, completing 23 of 29 passes and hitting touchdown passes of 41, 54 and two of 75 yards as he matched the Michie Stadium record for sco ring passes. Jaquarii Roberson had eight catches for 157 yards and three touchdowns and A.T. Perry had six catches for 146 yards and one score. Army never led, and a costly interception return for a touchdown in the third quarter gave the Demon Deacons t he breathing room they needed. "Guys made plays and you make the throws and it works like that," Hartman said. "That's how this offense is supposed to do." - Wake Forest/AP College Football

Jonathan Doerer kicked a 48-yard field goal with 17 seconds remaining, capping a dramatic rally to give No. 14 Notre Dame a 32-29 victory over Virginia Tech on Saturday night. The Fighting Irish (5-1) tied it at 29 on Jack Coan's 4-yard pass to Avery Dav is and a two-point conversion completion to Kevin Austin with 2:26 left. After forcing the Hokies to punt, Coan drove them 45 yards in seven plays, and Doerer split the uprights, sparing the Fighting Irish a second straight loss.The Hokies (3-2) h ad taken command with an interception return for a touchdown by Jermaine Waller and another touchdown drive started by an interception and finished with a 19-yard run by Braxton Burmeister with 3:55 to play, but Coan returned after playing just the first quarter to lead the comeback. Freshman Tyler Buchner ran for a touchdown and threw for another for Notre Dame (4-2) after replacing Coan to start the second quarter, but his two second half interceptions both turned into Virginia Tech touchdowns. Kyren Williams ran for 81 yards and one touchdown and caught an 8-yard pass from Buchner for another score the Irish. Raheem Blackshear also ran for a touchdown for the Hokies and John Parker Romo kicked three field goals. - Notre Dame/AP College Football

Nick Sciba kicked a 29-yard field goal with 22 seconds left and No. 24 Wake Forest beat Louisville 37-34 on Saturday to remain unbeaten. Sam Hartman threw for 324 yards and two touchdowns to lead the offense for the Demon Deacons (5-0, 3-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), who got a huge boost late from Justice Ellison with several patient and chain-moving runs on the go-ahead drive.Louisville (3-2, 1-1) got a final drive with a chance to tie and no timeouts, but the Cardinals' desperate, lateral-fille d play never got across midfield before Wake Forest's Rondell Bothroyd recovered the loose ball to end this one after time had expired. Malik Cunningham had a big day for the Cardinals, throwing for two scores while running for two additional TDs. His bi ggest throw of the day came when he hit Tyler Harrell over the middle in a frenetic final few minutes, and Harrell pulled away down the left sideline from four black jerseys in pursuit for a 75-yard touchdown that tied the game at 34 with 3:01 left. - Wa ke Forest/AP College Football

No. 12 Notre Dame got big three big plays from two of its offensive captains and helped coach Brian Kelly match Knute Rockne for the most victories in program history. Kyren Williams scored two long touchdowns, the second a 51-yard run with 6:05 remainin g, and Avery Davis scored on a 62-yard reception as the Fighting Irish beat Purdue improved to 3-0. Victory No. 105 for Kelly in his 12-year career at Notre Dame was also the 26th straight for the Irish at home.The Fighting Irish won their eighth straight over Purdue and first since 2014. "It takes a lot of things to be in place for that to happen," said Kelly, whose first victory at Notre Dame was a 23-12 victory over Purdue at Notre Dame during the 2010 season. "Father John (Jenkins, the univer sity president) and (athletic director) Jack (Swarbrick) have been on this journey. Consistency, leadership and alignment - all those things have to come together to get to this point." Williams, who scored on a fourth-and-3 pass play of 39 yards from Ja ck Coan early in the second quarter to give the Irish their first lead 7-3, finished with 86 yards on 11 carries and two receptions for 47 yards. Davis, who had five receptions for 120 yards in the game, had a field view of Williams' game-clinching TD ru n. "He's insane, his ability to maneuver, his strength to stay up," Davis said of Williams. "Just watching him for a second, I forgot I had to block for him. He's so entertaining." Williams finished with 91 yards on 12 carries, 47 yards on two receptions and added 30 yards on two punt returns. - Notre Dame Football/AP College Football

Sam Hartman threw for 259 yards and two touchdowns, and A.T. Perry grabbed seven passes for 155 yards and a TD as Wake Forest cruised past mistake-plagued Florida State 35-14 Saturday afternoon. Wake Forest (3-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) rolled up 484 yards - 332 in the first half - of total offense, including 225 on the ground. Florida State (0-3, 0-1), which juggled McKenzie Milton and Jordan Travis at quarterback, committed six turnovers, but stayed within striking range in the first half thank s to a 65-yard deep strike from Travis to a wide-open Ontaria Wilson. "The offensive line did an incredible job," Hartman said. Hartman hit Perry in stride with a deep strike down the right side for a 49-yard TD to start the onslaught.The Deacons scored their next two touchdowns after roughing-the-kicker and unnecessary-roughness penalties extended drives. "No way did we ever give ourselves a chance to play winning football," Florida State coach Mike Norvell said. "We continue to see the mistakes that cost us in the previous weeks." Leading by 21 points late in the third quarter, Wake Forest wiped out any realistic Florida State hopes by stopping Milton short of a first down on a fourth-and-2 run from the Deacons' 11. Early in the scoreless four th quarter, Milton fumbled the ball into the Wake Forest end zone while stretching for the goal line. The ball slipped in and out of the hands of players on both teams before it was recovered by Deacons defensive end Luiji Vilain for a touchback. - Wake Forest/AP College Football

Jack Coan has played in only two games for No. 8 Notre Dame, yet he already has a place in Fighting Irish lore by leading them to a come-from-behind 32-29 victory over Toledo on Saturday despite dislocating a finger. The grad transfer from Wisconsin, aft er having the finger on his throwing hand popped back into place by a trainer, hit Michael Mayer with the game-winning 18-yard touchdown pass with 1:09 remaining for the third lead change in a wild fourth quarter. The comeback by Brian Kelly's Irish (2-0 ) preserved Notre Dame's home winning streak at 25 games. "I thought Jack was poised in the pocket and decisive with his throws," Kelly said. "During a break (at 1:13), our assistant trainer Mike Bean went out there and performed a pull-the-finger thing. He got it back in place. Jack stepped up and felt he could keep going. On that last drive he was outstanding." Coan, who threw for 366 yards and four touchdowns in Notre Dame's season-opening 41-38 overtime victory at Florida State last Sunday, shared p laying time with true freshman Tyler Buchner.Coan finished with 239 yards and two touchdowns but was sacked six times, threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown and fumbled the ball on another possession. "Hats off to Toledo - Jason and his staff did a terrific job," Kelly said of Jason Candle, coach of the Rockets (1-1). "From our perspective, we're happy with the win, but I can't even begin with the work we have to do to get better." Coan's second TD pass to Mayer came after Toled o freshman QB Dequan Finn scooted 26 yards on a bootleg run to put Toledo ahead 29-24 with 1:35 remaining. Finn split playing time with sophomore Carter Bradley, who threw for 213 yards. The winning drive took just 26 seconds to go 75 yards on three play s and was aided by two Toledo penalties. Buchner rushed for 68 yards on seven carries and was 3-for-3 passing for 78 yards, including a 55-yard TD pass to Chris Tyree that gave the Irish a 24-16 lead with 10:57 to play. - Notre Dame/AP College Football

Sam Hartman passed for 244 yards and a touchdown, Christian Turner rushed for two scores and Wake Forest beat Norfolk State 41-16 on Saturday. Wake Forest scored 20 straight points, spanning halftime, to take control. Coach Dave Clawson had talked earlie r this week about wanting to see better offensive execution after an "uneven" performance in the season-opening win against Old Dominion. He largely got what he was looking for Saturday, as the Demon Deacons ran for 161 yards and had 413 total yards whil e dipping into their depth chart against the Championship Subdivision opponent. "When you play these games and you have a physical advantage, you want to be efficient and you want to make explosive plays," Clawson said. "It's really hard to find any faul t with what we did on offense other than when you put the 2s and the 3s in, you don't want it to drop off as much as it did." Jaquarii Roberson had four catches for 97 yards for the Demon Deacons (2-0), including when he ran past the defense for Hartman' s deep ball for a 64-yard score on the first play of the second half. That marked his sixth straight game with a touchdown reception. - Wake Forest/AP College Football
