11/22/25 - QB Devon Dampier, Sr/2027, Utah + More +

Devon Dampier threw for two touchdowns and ran for two more, including a go-ahead 1-yard score with 56 seconds left, and No. 13 Utah rallied from a 12-point deficit midway through the fourth quarter for a wild 51-47 victory over Kansas State on Saturday. The game turned on an unusual play. After KSU took a 47-35 lead on Joe Jackson's third rushing touchdown of the game, the Wildcats went for 2, but Utah's Tao Johnson intercepted a tipped ball and returned it to the Kansas State end zone for 2 points to make it 47-37. Dampier's 20-yard TD toss to Larry Simmons got Utah within 47-44 with 2:47 left. After the Utes forced a punt, Dampier led the winning drive, setting up his go-ahead score with a 59-yard run to the 1 on fourth down. Lander Barton intercepted Avery Johnson's pass with 49 seconds remaining to seal it for Utah (9-2, 6-2 Big 12, No. 12 CFP), which kept alive its hopes for a league title and a College Football Playoff berth.

Jackson rushed for a school-record 293 yards for Kansas State (5-6, 4-4), topping Darren Sproles' mark of 292 yards set in 2004. The Wildcats finished with a program-record 472 yards rushing, the most by a Division I team in a loss since Army ran for 534 in a 52-49 loss to North Texas on Nov. 18, 2017. Dampier threw for 259 yards and rushed for 94. Byrd Ficklin rushed for three touchdowns and Wayshawn Parker had 100 yards on 19 carries for Utah, which had 551 yards of offense to 574 for Kansas State. VJ Payne knocked the ball out of Dampier's hand and Cody Stufflebean recovered the fumble at the Utah 26-yard line to set up Jackson's 24-yard TD rush midway through the fourth. Dampier found Dallen Bentley for a 38-yard TD reception and Ficklin ran for his third TD to put Utah up 35-31 early in the third quarter. But Johnson threw to Garrett Oakley for a TD on fourth down and Luis Rodriguez added a 36-yard field goal to put KSU ahead 41-35 with 8:51 to play. Utah's defensive leader, John Henry Daley, left the game with a leg injury late in the first quarter, when the defensive end already had two sacks and 3 1/2 tackles for loss. Daley grabbed his leg on a non-contact play and was helped to the locker room. - Utah/AP College Football

11/22/25 - QB Dante Moore, rJr/2028, Oregon + More +

Dante Moore threw for 257 yards and two touchdowns as No. 6 Oregon likely dashed No. 16 Southern California's hopes of making the College Football Playoff with a 42-27 victory Saturday. Kenyon Sadiq had six catches for 72 yards and two scores, and Noah Whittington ran for 104 yards and another touchdown for the Ducks (10-1, 7-1 Big Ten, No. 7 CFP), who improved their chances of not only making the playoff but also hosting a game. Jayden Maiava threw for 306 yards and three touchdowns, including a pair to Makai Lemon, who also threw a touchdown pass for USC (8-3, 6-2, No. 15 CFP). USC hasn't won in Eugene since 2011 and the Trojans have lost four straight to the Ducks overall. Once again, the Trojans fell short on the road against a ranked opponent, with previous losses this season to Illinois and Notre Dame. USC scored on the first series of the game on Maiava's 8-yard pass to Lemon, who sprinted just inside the pylon for the touchdown. Lemon was ranked second in the nation with an average of 109 yards receiving per game coming in. The Ducks answered on the next drive with freshman Jordon Davison's 11-yard touchdown run, then extended the lead on Sadiq's 8-yard TD catch deep in the end zone.

USC tied it at 14 early in the second quarter when Maiava tossed the ball to Lemon, who hurled it downfield to Tanook Hines for a 24-yard touchdown. Lemon became the first Trojans receiver to throw a TD pass since Tyler Vaughns against Arizona State in 2018. Malik Benson ran 85 yards to score on a punt return to put Oregon back in front. Late in the first half, Atticus Sappington's 44-yard field-goal attempt for Oregon hit the goal post, but USC was flagged for a penalty on the play. The Ducks were given a first down, which led to Bryce Boettcher's 1-yard touchdown dive that put Oregon in front 28-14 at the break. The Trojans closed the gap midway through the third quarter on Maiava's 4-yard scoring pass to Lemon. But before the period was over, Moore connected with Sadiq again on a 28-yard touchdown. The Trojans, aided by a pair of back-to-back pass interference calls against the Ducks, got within 35-27 on Maiava's 9-yard touchdown pass to Lake McRee, but the 2-point conversion try failed. Oregon came back on the next drive with Whittington's 9-yard dash into the end zone that sealed it. - Oregon/AP College Football

11/22/25 - QB Diego Pavia, rSr/2026, Vanderbilt + More +

Diego Pavia threw for a career-high 484 yards and five touchdowns and No. 12 Vanderbilt beat Kentucky 45-17 Saturday as the Commodores kept their hopes for a College Football Playoff berth alive going into the regular-season finale. Pavia, who struck yet another Heisman Trophy poise celebrating with teammates, set the program record, topping the 464 yards Whit Taylor had at Tennessee in 1981. Pavia also ran for 48 more yards and a sixth score. Vanderbilt (9-2, 5-2, No. 14 CFP) has its most wins since 2013 and first with nine in the regular season since 1915. This is just the Commodores' fifth nine-win season all time, and they go into their regular-season finale needing a victory for the first 10-win season in program history. The Commodores also wrapped up a 7-0 record for Vanderbilt's first undefeated home schedule since 1982 and only the fourth since 1945. Tre Richardson had six catches for 159 yards and three TDs.

Martel Hight had two of three interceptions as Vanderbilt won for the third time in four games in this series. Kentucky (5-6, 2-6 Southeastern Conference) snapped a three-game winning streak. Coach Mark Stoops called the loss discouraging and credited Vanderbilt. Pavia, who went through Senior Day ceremonies pregame, made sure Vanderbilt never trailed. He was on the field for a series starting with 9:39 left before walking to the sideline for hugs as fans chanted his name after his big game. He hit Richardson in stride for a 71-yard catch-and-run TD and a 10-0 lead early in the second on his longest pass completion in his two seasons at Vanderbilt. He helped Vanderbilt score 21 points in the second and third quarters. - Vanderbilt/AP College Football

11/22/25 - QB Arch Manning, rJr/2028, Texas + More +

Arch Manning passed for four touchdowns, ran for one and caught another as No. 17 Texas beat Arkansas 52-37 on Saturday to keep the Longhorns clinging to hopes of making the College Football Playoff. Ranked No. 1 in the preseason, the Longhorns (8-3, 5-2, Southeastern Conference, No. 17 CFP ) will have to beat third-ranked rival Texas A&M on Friday for a chance to make a case they deserve to be in the playoff for the third consecutive season. Manning became the first Texas quarterback with passing, running and receiving touchdowns in a game. He passed for a career-high 389 yards, and his do-everything day showed how far he's come from the beginning of the season, when Texas struggled to a 3-2 start.

Manning connected with DeAndre Moore Jr. for three touchdowns. Manning's touchdown catch on a reverse pass from Parker Livingstone was an athletic grab where he had to twist his 6-foot-4 frame and reach high to make the play. Livingstone also had a 54-yard TD reception. On his touchdown run at the start of the third quarter, Manning cut twice to elude tacklers before lunging across the goal line for a 31-20 lead. Arkansas (2-9, 0-7) kept it close early and was within 24-20 at halftime behind touchdown runs from quarterback Taylen Green and running back Mike Washington. Green threw an interception on Arkansas' first possession of the second half. The turnover set up another Texas touchdown when Manning escaped a sack and found Moore open in the back of the end zone. - Texas/AP College Football

11/22/25 - QB Jake Retzlaff, rSr/2026, Tulane + More +

Jake Retzlaff passed for two touchdowns and rushed for another score, and No. 24 Tulane beat Temple 37-13 on Saturday to move one step closer to the American Conference championship game. Tulane (9-2, 6-1) can secure a spot in the Dec. 5 title game with a win over 1-10 Charlotte at home next weekend. At No. 24, Tulane was the lone American Conference representative in the latest College Football Playoff rankings. The upcoming ranking will serve as a tiebreaker for teams that have no head-to-head meetings against one another - which neither Navy nor North Texas have against Tulane. Tulane's defense limited Temple to 20 yards rushing on 20 attempts and 204 yards of total offense.

Retzlaff set the tone early, finding Shazz Preston for a 69-yard touchdown pass on Tulane's second offensive play. His 2-yard TD run midway through the second quarter lifted the Green Wave to a 17-7 lead. "To get that kind of start, it gets everyone fired up and then it gets the defense going," said Retzlaff, who was 17-for-28 passing for 231 yards on the day. Retzlaff threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Justyn Reid and tossed to Anthony Brown-Stephens for the 2-point conversion, making it 34-13 in the fourth quarter. Temple quarterback Evan Simon was 21 for 32 for 168 yards and two touchdowns. Colin Chase had five receptions for 59 yards and a TD. The Owls (5-6, 3-4) have dropped three consecutive games. - Tulane/AP College Football

11/22/25 - RB Bryson Kuzdzal, rJr/2028, Michigan + More +

Bryson Kuzdzal ran for 100 yards and three touchdowns to help No. 18 Michigan to a 45-20 victory over Maryland on Saturday, a week before the Wolverines host top-ranked Ohio State. Michigan (9-2, 7-1 Big Ten, No. 18 CFP) was without injured running backs Justice Haynes and Jordan Marshall, but the Wolverines were still superior on the ground, and Michigan finished with its highest scoring output in conference play this season.

Bryce Underwood defeated Malik Washington in a matchup of two impressive freshman quarterbacks. Maryland (4-7, 1-7) scored on the game's first drive but could not avoid a seventh straight loss. Underwood threw for 215 yards and two touchdowns for Michigan, while Washington passed for 210 yards and a touchdown with an interception. With the score tied at 7 in the first quarter, Underwood's pass probably should have been intercepted by Lavain Scruggs, but the defensive back couldn't hold onto the ball. The Wolverines eventually took the lead on a 2-yard TD run by Kuzdzal. After an interception by Michigan's Mason Curtis gave the offense a short field, Underwood's 22-yard scoring pass to Donaven McCulley made it 21-7. Kuzdzal added touchdown runs of 19 and 1 yards in the third quarter, and Jasper Parker scored on a 6-yarder in the fourth that made it 42-13. - Michigan/AP College Football

11/22/25 - QB LaNorris Sellers, rJr/2028, South Carolina + More +

LaNorris Sellers ran for two touchdowns and threw for two more, including a 75-yard strike to his younger brother Jayden on the game's first snap, in South Carolina's 51-7 rout of Coastal Carolina on Saturday night. The Gamecocks (4-7) were coming in off a disheartening 31-30 loss at No. 3 Texas A&M where they led 30-3 at halftime. But the players didn't let that collapse beat them once more, overwhelming the Chanticleers (6-5) to lead 20-0 less than eight minutes in. Sellers, whose escapability, strong arm and running skill had him atop many preseason Heisman Trophy lists, showed off all of it in ending South Carolina's five-game losing streak. He finished 16 of 20 passing for 274 yards and led the Gamecocks with 82 yards rushing before heading to the bench after the third quarter. Sellers hooked up with his speedy, younger brother Jayden Sellers on the first snap for a short pass then broke for a 75-yard TD. The elder Sellers pushed through for a 2-yard score on the team's second drive.

After Coastal Carolina passer Tad Hudson fumbled while getting hit by lineman Bryan Thomas Jr. deep in Chants' territory, tight end Brady Hunt scored three plays later for a 20-0 lead. Coastal, of the Sun Belt Conference, could not match up with an opponent that entered with a five-game losing streak and 1-7 record in the Southeastern Conference. South Carolina had 419 of its 579 yards by halftime. Its defense held Coastal Carolina to 46 yards rushing, far below its 194 average coming in. The Chanticleers ended the shutout with a blocked punt by receiver Jameson Tucker, who picked it up and went 17 yards for the score with less than 10 minutes left to play. Jayden Sellers had four catches for 127 yards while Hunt finished with a pair of rushing touchdowns. The Gamecocks played without leading receiver Nyck Harbor and defensive line starter Dylan Stewart. Harbor went to the hospital as a precaution after hurting his chest late in the Texas A&M loss. Stewart warmed up but felt back pain and was held out. - South Carolina/AP College Football

Brad Jackson accounted for four touchdowns and Texas State beat Louisiana-Monroe 31-14 on Saturday night. Jackson completed 25 of 32 passes for 201 yards and threw two touchdown passes. He had a 19-yard touchdown run in the third quarter and a 7-yard scoring run late in the fourth, and finished with 88 yards rushing on 15 carries.

Beau Sparks had 10 receptions for 68 yards for Texas State (5-6, 2-5 Sun Belt Conference). Sparks and Lincoln Pare each had a touchdown catch for the Bobcats. Aidan Armenta was 19-of-26 passing for 166 yards for Louisiana-Monroe (3-8, 1-6), which has lost seven consecutive games. Armenta's 12-yard touchdown run capped a 10-play, 75-yard drive for the Warhawks that cut the deficit to 24-14 with 7:37 remaining. Tyler Robles' 30-yard field goal for the Bobcats was the only score of the first half. - Texas State/AP College Football

Cooke was 20-of-33 passing for 212 yards, and added 72 yards rushing, which included scoring runs of 1 and 9 yards, on 13 carries. He hit Ian Duarte for a 14-yard touchdown late in the first quarter and Tsion Nunnally for a 30-yarder with 30 seconds left in the second. The Bengals recovered an onside kick and Trajan Sinatra made a 33-yard field goal as time expired to give the Bengals a 27-0 lead at halftime.

Idaho (4-8, 2-6), which was ranked No. 12 in the preseason FCS coaches poll, has lost three in a row. Joshua Wood completed 9 of 13 for 73 yards passing and threw an interception before he was replaced in the second half. Sawyer Teeney was 8-of-12 passing for 53 yards and threw a 21-yard TD pass to Nolan McWilliams in the fourth quarter. Nate Thomas had 66 yards rushing and a touchdown.

11/22/25 - K Drew Stevens, Sr/2026, Iowa + More +

Drew Stevens kicked a 44-yard field goal as time expired to give Iowa a 20-17 win over Michigan State on Saturday. The kick capped a 13-point fourth-quarter comeback for the Hawkeyes (7-4, 5-3 Big Ten), who snapped a two-game losing streak. The win brought some emotions from Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz after the game. Stevens, a senior playing his final home game, said after the game he had been thinking about his senior day in high school. Stevens had missed a 53-yard field goal at the end of the first half, but Ferentz knew what he had in his kicker at the end of the game.

Iowa trailed 17-7 after Michigan State quarterback Alessio Milivojevic threw two third-quarter touchdown passes to Chrishon McCray. But the Hawkeyes held the Spartans (3-8, 0-8) to just 26 yards on four possessions in the fourth quarter, sending Michigan State to its eighth consecutive loss and extending the Spartans' Big Ten losing streak to nine games. The Hawkeyes got to within 17-10 on Stevens' 26-yard field goal with 11:27 left in the fourth quarter, then tied the game when Gronowski threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Jacob Gill with 1:29 to play. That drive was set up by a 40-yard punt return by Kaden Wetjen, who had returned a punt 62 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter for Iowa's first score and becoming the program's all-time leader in returns for touchdowns. Iowa got the ball back on its own 21-yard line and drove 53 yards in five plays, setting up Stevens for his game winner. - AP College Football

Andrew Burnette had three touchdown runs that included a 25-yarder in overtime, Jakari Foster had two of Louisiana Tech's four interceptions, and the Bulldogs overcame a 21-point, third-quarter deficit to beat Liberty 34-28 on Saturday night. Foster picked off an Ethan Vasko pass on the second play of overtime before Burnette broke loose for the game winner on the next play. Vasko threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Jacob Jenkins that stretched Liberty's lead to 28-7 with 7:39 remaining in the third quarter, but he ended the Flames' next three drives with interceptions.

Trey Kukuk completed 13 of 20 passes for 118 yards and scored twice on the ground, finishing with 143 yards on 19 carries. Burnette added 93 yards rushing on 17 carries for Louisiana Tech (6-5, 4-3 Conference USA). Kukuk had a 31-yard touchdown run and a 29-yarder, sandwiched around a Burnette 3-yard TD run, that tied it 28-all with 7:05 left in the fourth quarter. Evan Dickens ran the ball 30 times for 228 yards and had two touchdowns for Liberty (4-7, 3-4).

In the season finale for both teams, Osborne connected with Quay Kindell on a 56-yard pass play to give the Buccaneers (5-7, 4-4 OVC-Big South) a 7-3 lead and the stingy Charleston Southern defense held on from there, allowing only Freddy Perez's 39-yard field goal in the third period. The Tigers gained 37 total yards on their last three possessions. Tennessee State (2-10, 0-8), looking for its first conference win under coach Reggie Barlow, allowed only one drive of more than six plays. It was the Buccaneers' fourth win in their last five games and the defense allowed 17 or fewer points in each of the past four games. - AP College Football

Goose Crowder was 27-of-43 passing for 361 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions on Saturday night to help Troy beat Georgia State 31-19. Troy (7-4, 5-2 Sun Belt Conference) plays at Southern Miss next Saturday and the winner will advance to the conference championship game on Dec. 5.

Conner caught a 26-yard scoring strike from Crowder that made it 10-3 late in the first quarter and added a 39-yard touchdown in the third quarter that gave Troy a 17-6 lead.

Georgia State responded with a 12-play, 75-yard drive that took nearly six minutes off the clock and culminated when Branson Robinson ran it in from the 4 to trim its deficit to 17-12 after a failed 2-point try. Epps had touchdown receptions of 10 and 35 yards in the fourth quarter. Christian Veilleux was 19-of-38 passing for 307 yards with a touchdown and an interception for the Panthers.
