11/01/25 - RB TJ Harden, Sr/2026, Southern Methodist + More +

T.J. Harden scored on a 1-yard run in overtime, and SMU upset No. 10 Miami 26-20 on Saturday, handing the Hurricanes their second loss in three weeks and damaging their playoff hopes. Ahmaad Moses put the Mustangs (6-3, 4-1 Atlantic Coast) in position to win even with a field goal by intercepting Carson Beck just short of the goal line on the first possession of the extra period. Harden's score came on the last of his four consecutive runs as the Mustangs won their 13th consecutive home conference game a week after losing an ACC regular-season game for the first time in their second season since returning to a power league. Harden took a handoff and ran left untouched, launching a wild celebration as SMU students stormed the field from the stands behind the Miami bench. Fans toppled the goal post in the end zone where Harden scored. Marquise Lightfoot's critical unnecessary roughness penalty on a hit on quarterback Kevin Jennings after Miami called a timeout gave the Mustangs a first down when they were facing fourth-and-9 down three with 1:08 remaining in regulation.

Sam Keltner kicked a tying 38-yard field goal with 25 seconds remaining in regulation after a potential tying 42-yarder with about six minutes to go was ruled no good as the ball sailed over the right upright. SMU coach Rhett Lashlee, hours after the school announced his two-year contract extension, argued the call, but it wasn't reviewable. Jennings threw for a touchdown and ran for a score before ignoring an apparent lower left leg injury and returning to finish a drive to Keltner's 43-yard field for a 17-all tie in the final second of the third quarter. Beck had 274 yards passing with touchdowns to Joshisa Trader and Alex Bauman, but threw two interceptions in Miami's first game outside Florida this season. The Mustangs had negative yards rushing when they started overtime. The 25 yards on the winning possession put them at 23 for the game. - SMU/AP College Football

11/01/25 - RB Jeff Sims, rSr/2026, Arizona State + More +

Jeff Sims set an Arizona State quarterback rushing record with 228 yards, finished with 405 yards of total offense and had a hand in three touchdowns to lead the Sun Devils past Iowa State 24-19 Saturday. Sims got the record when he broke an 88-yard touchdown run in the third quarter to put the Sun Devils (6-3, 4-2 Big 12) up 24-16. Mark Malone set the previous record in 1978 when he ran for 178 yards against Southern California. The Cyclones (5-4, 2-4) lost their fourth straight game when they were stopped a yard short at the ASU 20 on a fourth-and-6 with 16 seconds left. Sims carried 29 times for the Sun Devils and completed 13 of 24 passes for 174 yards. Chamon Metayer caught six passes for 68 yards and a touchdown, and Raleek Brown ran 16 times for 64 yards. Iowa State quarterback Rocco Becht was 18 of 36 for 186 yards, fewest since since Week 2 against Iowa. - Arizona State/AP College Football

11/01/25 - QB Darian Mensah, rSo/2028, Duke + More +

Duke coach Manny Diaz did not want to chance overtime at Clemson's Death Valley. His team made sure he wouldn't have to. Nate Sheppard had a 3-yard touchdown run with 40 seconds left and Duke followed with a two-point conversion from Darian Mensah to Shamir Hagans to win at Clemson for the first time since 1980 with a 46-45 victory Saturday. "Going extra innings at Death Valley isn't really a good plan," Diaz said. Winning in regulation somewhere you hadn't in 45 years? "This is a major step for our program," Diaz said. The Blue Devils (5-3, 4-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) trailed 45-38 and started the game-winning drive on their 6-yard line. Mensah led an 11-play drive in which he converted two fourth downs to set up Sheppard's TD run.

There was no hesitation from Duke's Diaz who kept the offense on the field and Mensah quicky found Hagans for the decisive points. It was a quirky game of dramatic momentum swings. Duke looked unstoppable in gaining 199 yards in the first quarter to lead 21-7. But Clemson woke up with three straight TDs to lead 28-21. The Tigers looked in control again with six minutes left until Duke's final drive. "We just stayed poised and showed our confidence," Mensah said. It was another low moment in a terrible season for Clemson (3-5, 1-4), the defending ACC champions and a trendy pick to win Dabo Swinney's third national title. The Tigers have lost four home games for the first time since 1998. They're on pace for Swinney's worst season since 2010 when the Tigers were 6-7 and the coach thought his time at the school was done. Instead, he won eight ACC titles and national championships after the 2016 and 2018 seasons. "I feel like I'm in 2010 all over again," Swinney said. After Duke took the final lead, the Tigers tried a desperation, pass the ball to anyone open play as the clock ran out. When Duke finally stopped the play, the sidelines jumped into joyous celebration. After all, it had been more than four decades since the football Blue Devils had left Death Valley with a victory. - Duke/AP College Football

11/01/25 - WR Tre Holloway, rJr/2027, Tennessee Tech + More +

Tre' Holloway scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter, Maurice LaPierre had three sacks, and Tennessee Tech scored 24 unanswered points to beat Gardner-Webb 27-21 on Sunday and extend its winning streak to 14 games, the longest in FCS football. The Golden Eagles (9-0, 6-0 OVC-Big South) took their first lead eight seconds into the fourth quarter after securing a sack fumble on Cole Pennington. Kekoa Visperas found Holloway for a 43-yard touchdown two plays later. Holloway temporarily broke the game open with a 60-yard score on a sweep play with 7:47 remaining, making it 24 unanswered points.

The Runnin' Bulldogs (5-4, 3-2) came up short on a fake punt on a fourth-and-11 with 7:04 remaining, but got a first down on an unnecessary roughness call. The penalty set up a 24-yard touchdown from Pennington to Anthony Lowe, to make it a one-score game. Pennington was sacked by LaPierre for the third time, and the seventh of the day on the final drive. It's the first time since 1952 that the FCS No. 8 Golden Eagles have started 9-0. Their top scoring offense in FCS football was held to 27 points, tied for their fewest this season. - AP College Football

Andrew Indorf threw two touchdown passes in a 42-point first-half explosion and Towson snapped a three-game losing streak, defeating North Carolina A&T 62-9 on Saturday. The Aggies scored first on a 56-yard field goal by Andrew Brown but the rest of the first half belonged to the Tigers. Indorf threw a short touchdown pass to Al Wooten II and a 65-yarder to Jaceon Doss. Backup quarterback Winston Watkins threw his first collegiate touchdown pass, 38 yards to Cleveland Charlton. Wooten and Kahsiem Phillips had touchdown runs and Xzavion Crumb scored on a blocked punt. The Tigers led 42-3 at halftime.

After a couple of field goals in the third quarter, Kemarrion Battles had a 31-yard touchdown run and Trey Engram went 5 yards for another Towson score. Nelson Layne's 60-yard run in the fourth quarter was the only touchdown for the Aggies (2-7, 2-3 Coastal Athletic Association). Indorf, who completed 11 of 13 passes for 240 yards in the first half, finished 18 of 24 for 294 yards. Four quarterbacks combined for 382 yards passing and Doss had four receptions for 108 yards for the Tigers (4-5, 2-3). Towson had a 527-259 advantage in total yards. - AP College Football

11/01/25 - QB Quentin Hayes, rSo/2028, The Citadel + More +

Quentin Hayes accounted for three fourth-quarter touchdowns as The Citadel scored 28 unanswered points to come back against VMI, 35-24 on Saturday. The Bulldogs (4-5, 3-3 Southern Conference) trailed 24-7 after an early-fourth quarter field goal by VMI;s Ben Shrewsbury, but a 6-yard scoring rush from Hayes two minutes later started the rally. Hayes heaved a 72-yard touchdown pass to Jihad Marks for a score just 26 seconds after getting possession back, and Garrison Johnson Sr. added an 11-yard touchdown run to pull ahead with 4:33 remaining.

Marks and Hayes linked up for another score, this time a 33-yarder with 12 seconds to go, to add some late insurance and send The Citadel to their first win against a Div. I opponent since Sept. 27 (a 28-10 victory over Chattanooga). Hayes finished 5 for 7 with 175 passing yards and three touchdowns, and rushed for 73 yards and a score on 15 attempts. Cobey Thompkins led with 101 yards on 11 carries, and Marks reeled in four catches for 168 yards and three scores. Collin Shannon was 21-for-29 passing for 261 yards and two touchdowns for the Keydets (1-8, 0-5). - AP College Football

L.J. Phillips Jr. rushed for 106 yards and added a touchdown, and Dejuan Lewis returned a fumble for a touchdown to lead South Dakota to a 26-21 victory over North Dakota on Saturday.

Texas quarterback Arch Manning started for the No. 20 Longhorns against No. 9 Vanderbilt after clearing concussion protocol and threw two touchdowns in the first half. Texas led 24-10 at halftime. Manning had been listed as questionable on Wednesday's injury report to the Southeastern Conference, but coach Steve Sarkisian also said his quarterback was practicing and making "good progress" during the week. He was removed from Friday night's updated list.

Manning was injured in Texas' 45-38 overtime win over Mississippi State when he led a 17-point fourth-quarter rally. Matthew Caldwell entered the game in overtime and threw the winning touchdown pass. Manning has passed for 1,980 yards and 17 touchdowns. A preseason favorite for the Heisman Trophy, Manning struggled for much of the early season but played his best game against Mississippi State with 346 yards passing and three touchdowns. He passed for 169 yards in the final quarter. - Texas/AP College Football

11/01/25 - QB Julian Sayin, rFr/2029, Ohio State + More +

Julian Sayin passed for 316 yards and four touchdowns, Jeremiah Smith scored twice and top-ranked Ohio State pulled away in the second half to defeat Penn State 38-14 Saturday. The Buckeyes (8-0, 5-0 Big Ten) had a 17-14 lead at halftime, but took control in the second half, scoring on three of their first four possessions. Kaytron Allen and Nicholas Singleton both had rushing scores for Penn State (3-5, 0-5), which has dropped five straight and lost both games with interim coach Terry Smith at the helm. Smith took over after James Franklin was fired on Oct. 12.

Sayin completed 20 of 23 passes and joined Geno Smith as the only Football Bowl Subdivision players since 1985 to have three games in a season with at least 300 yards passing, three touchdowns, no interceptions and a completion rate of at least 85%. Smith accomplished the feat in 2012 at West Virginia. Sayin had three completions of at least 40 yards, including a pair to Carnell Tate, who finished with five catches for 124 yards. Sayin connected with Tate on a go route for a 45-yard TD midway through the second quarter to extend the Buckeyes' lead to 17-7. Jeremiah Smith finished with six receptions for 123 yards. He put Ohio State on the board midway through the first quarter with a 14-yard catch on a slant pattern. The sophomore then extended the Buckeyes' lead to 38-14 with a highlight-reel grab on an 11-yard touchdown with 9:43 remaining in the game. Sayin's pass appeared to be tipped, but Smith leapt and made a one-handed grab with his left hand while being surrounded by three Penn State defenders. The Buckeyes got some breathing room on the opening drive of the second half. Tate had a 57-yard catch to the Penn State 4 on the second play of the possession and CJ Donaldson plowed in from the 1 three plays later to put Ohio State up by two scores. Ohio State essentially put it out of reach when tight end Christian Bennett's 1-yard reception made it 31-14. - Ohio State/AP College Football

11/01/25 - QB Logan Inagawa, Fr/2029, Drake + More +

Logan Inagawa threw for 244 yards and a touchdown and Drake remained unbeaten in the Pioneer Football League by beating Butler 24-19 on Saturday. Drake's Isaiah Bragg returned the opening kickoff 32 yards to the Drake 34. On the first play from scrimmage, Nick Herman took the handoff and ran 66 yards to the end zone for a 7-0 Drake (6-2, 5-0) lead. Butler (5-4, 3-2) tied it on its second drive when Reagan Andrew connected with Archie Cox deep for a 54-yard touchdown pass midway through the first quarter.

With 2:35 before halftime, Inagawa led an 11-play, 85-yard drive that took 6:11 to put Drake back out front 14-7. Butler took the opening kickoff to the second half and traveled 75 yards in nine plays and scored when Andrew threw a 3-yard touchdown to Chet Yardley. Drake blocked the extra-point attempt to maintain a 14-13 lead. Drake extended its lead to 17-13 on a 51-yard field goal by Harry Balke on the following drive and sealed it early in the fourth when Luke Woodson crashed in from the 1. Andrew scored the final points of the contest when he ran it in from the 3 with 3:38 left. He threw for 191 yards, two touchdowns and was intercepted once. - AP College Football

Luke Altmyer threw for 235 yards and four touchdowns and ran for 88 yards to lead Illinois to a 35-13 victory Saturday over Rutgers. Altmyer completed 19 of 31 passes as the Illini (6-3, 3-3 Big Ten) ended a two-game losing streak and became bowl-eligible in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2010-11.

Athan Kaliakmanis was 25 of 45 for 253 yards and a TD for the Scarlet Knights. K.J. Duff caught nine passes for 93 yards and a TD and Ian Strong had six receptions for 85 yards. Altmyer's 3-yard TD run late in the second quarter came on a trick play on fourth down. He took a handoff from Kaden Feagin, who was lined up in the wildcat formation, faked a handoff, and ran untouched into the end zone. Illinois' first TD, a 7-yard pass from Altmyer to Feagin, was at the end of a 12-play, 99-yard drive that took more than six minutes. - Illinois/AP College Football

Cale Hellums threw a 42-yard pass to Brady Anderson with 24 seconds left and Dawson Jones made a game-winning 27-yard field goal on the final play to give Army a 20-17 victory over Air Force on Saturday. Army (4-4) has won seven of the last nine meetings with Air Force (2-6), including three in a row - its first three-game streak in the series since 1976-78. It was a wild final two minutes. Hellums was stopped on a fourth-and-1 sneak deep in Army territory with 2:10 left. The Falcons took advantage of the great field position, and a pass interference call in the end zone, to tie it at 17-all on Liam Szarka's 2-yard sneak with 1:26 left.

Hellums started the game-winning drive with a 10-yard pass and then Army ran it four straight plays. Hellums' ninth pass attempt, and fifth completion, went to Anderson, who had run past the defense over the middle. Hellums threw for 102 yards with a touchdown, and he carried it 26 times for 98 yards and another score. Briggs Bartosh added 74 yards rushing. Szarka was 13 of 17 for 161 yards but he was intercepted twice for Air Force, which also lost a fumble for a three-turnover game. Szarka had two touchdowns on the ground and 91 yards. Air Force had not scored a touchdown against Army in 32 straight possessions until Szarka's 3-yard run midway through the third quarter to tie it at 10-all. - Army/AP College Football

11/01/25 - RB Caleb Hawkins, Fr/2029, North Texas + More +

Caleb Hawkins ran for four touchdowns and North Texas beat Navy 31-17 on Saturday, handing the Midshipmen their first loss this season and ending their 10-game winning streak. Hawkins, a true freshman, rushed for a season-high 197 yards on 33 carries - the rest of the team netted minus-21. Freshman Drew Mestemaker, who threw for a program-record 608 yards and four touchdowns in a 54-20 win over Charlotte last week, was 19-of-24 passing for 234 yards.

Hawkins' 7-and 3-yard scores finished a pair of long North Texas (8-1, 4-1 American Conference) drives. After a failed Navy (7-1, 5-1) onside kick, Hawkins added a 14-yard score for a 21-3 lead. Hawkins' 6-yard score at the end of the third quarter came after a Quinton Hammonds interception and made it 31-17.
