Isaiah Davis caught two touchdown passes, four other players found the end zone, and Stephen F. Austin defeated Houston Christian in a 50-3 rout to stay perfect in Southland Conference play.

Cason Carswell threw a go-ahead touchdown pass to Alex Williams with 1:21 remaining and Western Illinois scored the final 17 points to beat Lindenwood 24-21 on Saturday.

He passed to Holman for a successful two-point try and a three-point lead.

Lindenwood used eight-play drives to score touchdowns on their first two possessions to build a 14-0 lead after one quarter. Glantz had a 2-yard touchdown toss to Jalen Smith to cap a 75-yard drive to begin the game. Steve Hall followed with a 6-yard touchdown run to end an 80-yard drive.

Tyler Hughes scored on a 6-yard run in overtime to lift William & Mary to a 30-27 win over Campbell on Saturday. It capped a wild finish for the Tribe, who trailed 21-13 with 3:19 left in regulation. William & Mary went 67 yards in four plays, scoring on a 2-yard run by Rashad Raymond with 1:51 to play. After Hughes' completion for the 2-point conversion to get within 24-21, the Tribe recovered the onside kick.

Despite two penalties, the Tribe advanced to the Camels' 16 and then had a delay of game penalty before Keegan Shackford drilled a 38-yard tying field goal with a second to play.

Jacob Clark threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Tristian Gardner with 27 seconds to play to lift Missouri State to a 21-17 win over Liberty on Saturday. The Bears went 70 yards in a minute with Clark completing passes of 22, 20 and 15 yards before the winner.

11/08/25 - WR Omar Cooper Jr., rJr/2026, Indiana + More +

Omar Cooper Jr. jumped to catch a pass from Fernando Mendoza in the back of the end zone, sweeping his inside foot within the field of play to go ahead of Penn State 27-24 with 36 seconds remaining and save No. 2 Indiana from its first loss of the season on Saturday. The downtrodden Nittany Lions, led by an interim coach and riding the school's longest losing streak in 21 years, almost denied the Hoosiers (10-0, 7-0 Big Ten) their first Happy Valley win in school history. Penn State (3-6, 0-6) came back from down 13 points in the third quarter and was a couple of first downs away from the upset. Once the Nittany Lions were forced to punt, they couldn't respond with late-game heroics of their own in the little time the Hoosiers left them. A Hail Mary effort from midfield was unsuccessful. "It was the most improbable victory I have ever been a part of," Indiana coach Curt Cignetti said. "And there couldn't have been a better place to make it happen." The Hoosiers entered Happy Valley used to losing in the sprawling, 107,000-seat Beaver Stadium.

Before Saturday, the Nittany Lions owned a 25-2 edge head-to-head, winning all 13 games on their home field. "It's just a rocking crowd, when you hear that silence when you get hit when you throw, then you know it's a completion," said Mendoza, who was sacked three times, threw for 218 yards with one touchdown and an interception and also ran in a score. Penn State rallied to take the lead 24-20 in the fourth quarter when Ethan Grunkemeyer connected with Nicholas Singleton for a 19-yard score with 6:27 to play. Penn State punted to Indiana with 1:51 remaining, giving Mendoza the ball back at his own 20. He was sacked on first down, but recovered to hit receivers for 22, 12, 29 and 17 yards before finding Cooper at the back edge of the end zone. Afterward, a smiling Cooper called it the best catch of his career. Mendoza agreed. Kaelon Black scored a rushing touchdown and Nico Radicic kicked two field goals for the Hoosiers. Charlie Becker had seven receptions for 118 yards and Cooper finished with six receptions for 32 yards. Singleton added two rushing touchdowns for the Nittany Lions, who are playing under interim coach Terry Smith and have lost six in a row. - Indiana/AP College Football

Matt Colombo and Adam Criter combined for 238 yards rushing and scored two touchdowns apiece in San Diego's 43-27 victory over Valparaiso on Saturday. Colombo carried 15 times for 121 yards and Criter had 117 yards on 26 carries. They had all but four of the Toreros' rushing yards with quarterback Dom Nankil gaining four yards on three carries. Nankil completed 21 of 29 passes for 219 yards with one touchdown for San Diego (6-4, 4-2 Pioneer Football League).

Valpo's Rowan Keefe threw two touchdown passes in the second quarter and the Beacons (1-9, 0-6) led 14-13 at halftime. Criter's 9-yard run made it 20-14 in the third quarter but Ryan Ricketti's 100-yard return on the ensuing kickoff gave Valpo a 21-20 lead. San Diego took the lead for good, 26-21, on Colombo's 3-yard touchdown run in the middle of the third quarter. Keefe threw for 234 yards with three touchdowns but he was intercepted three times. Other than a 67-10 victory against Virginia Lynchburg to open the season, this was only the second time that the Beacons scored more than 17 points. - AP College Football

Ja'briel Mace rushed for a school-record 291 yards and four touchdowns and Villanova beat Towson 28-10 on Saturday for the Wildcats' sixth straight win. Mace broke Brian Westbrook's record of 287 against Hofstra in 2001. Mace became the first Wildcat to rush for over 200 yards since 2013.

Mace scored on 8-yard run in the first half that ended in a 7-7 tie. He ran for a 39-yard touchdown early in the third then added 82- and 22-yard scores in the final minutes of the game to finish off the win for the Wildcats (7-2, 6-1 Coastal Athletic Association), who are ranked eighth in the FCS coaches' poll. Mace's 291 yards came on 28 carries and made up the majority of Villanova's 472 yards offense and eclipsed the 287 the Tigers (4-6, 2-4) collected. Pat McQuaide thew for 120 yards.

11/08/25 - QB Kevin Jennings, rSr/2027, Southern Methodist + More +

SMU didn't have a letdown after its big victory over Miami last weekend. Kevin Jennings threw for three touchdowns and 326 yards to carry SMU to a 45-13 victory over Boston College on Saturday, spoiling the Eagles' annual Red Bandana Game and sending them to their ninth straight loss. The game honors the memory of Welles Crowther, a BC graduate and former lacrosse player, who was working in the South Tower of the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001 and died rescuing people. He was known for carrying a red bandanna. Jennings completed 16-of-32 passes with TD throws of 25, 61 and 37 yards for the Mustangs (7-3, 5-1 Atlantic Coast Conference). Derrick McFall ran for three TDs. "College football has turned into a game of explosive plays," SMU coach Rhett Lashlee said. "But, if you're explosive and you can run the ball, then you control the game a little better." Dylan Lonergan was 25 of 37 for 232 yards with a TD and interception for BC (1-9, 0-6) after starting QB Grayson James was benched following fumbling twice in the opening quarter. SMU came into the day leading the FBS with 22 turnovers gained.

Leading 17-6, the Mustangs took control when Jennings hit Yamir Knight with the 61-yarder. Knight was wide open deep over-the-middle, cut to his left after the catch and slipped inside the pylon for the score on SMU's first drive of the second half. Jennings then hit Matthew Hibner with the 37-yard TD toss. Coming off an upset victory over then-No. 10 Miami, the Mustangs built a 17-0 lead before the Eagles kicked a pair of late second-quarter field goals. "Our goal this game was not to let that happen," Jennings said about a loss at Wake Forest after an emotional win at Clemson. "Play a complete game for all four quarters and everybody stepped up to that challenge." - SMU/AP College Football

Northern Iowa (3-7, 1-5) never trailed against the winless Racers (0-10, 0-6).

Near the midway point of the third, Jaxon Dailey threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to JC Roque Jr. to make it 21-14. Jackson ran it in from the 14 with 6:50 left in the fourth for a 31-14 advantage. Murray State tied it a 7 when Kaleb Bailey threw a 54-yard touchdown to Darius Cannon with 12:53 left in the second and knotted it at 14 when Jawaun Northington ran it in from the 12 with 3 1/2 minutes before halftime.
