  Tennessee Tech Football   Kekoa Visperas threw two touchdown passes, Q'Daryius Jennings ran for TDs of 11 and 12 yards, and Tennessee Tech beat Missouri State 42-23 on Saturday to extend the longest active win streak in Division I. Tennessee Tech (8-0, 5-0 OVC-Big South Conference), ranked No. 9 in the FCS coaches poll, has won 13 consecutive games dating to a 37-21 loss at Western Illinois on Oct. 19, 2024.

Southeast Missouri State (3-5, 2-2) outgained the Owls 401-299 total yards but committed two turnovers - which led to 14 Tennessee Tech points - and failed to convert two fourth downs.

  Wake Forest Football   Connor Calvert barely made a 50-yard field goal on the final play to give Wake Forest a 13-12 win over SMU on Saturday, sending the Mustangs to their first loss in Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season play. The Mustangs had won 20 straight regular-season conference games, the longest then-active such streak in the nation. SMU won its last nine in the American Athletic Conference and its first 11 after joining the Atlantic Coast Conference last season. SMU players and coaches stayed on the field, demanding a review of the ruling of a successful field goal. After an SMU punt, Wake Forest used a 25-yard pass from Deshawn Purdie to Kamrean Johnson to move into Mustangs' territory and then spiked the ball before the final snap. Purdie threw for 183 yards. Demond Claiborne rushed for 73 yards as the Demon Deacons (5-2, 2-2 ACC). Kevin Jennings threw for 171 yards on 21-for-39 passing for SMU (5-3, 3-1). There were eight turnovers, two missed field goals, a blocked extra-point kick and 17 punts.

Wake Forest's fourth-down gamble at its own 41 in the third quarter resulted in an incomplete pass. Six plays later, SMU's Shaadie Clayton-Johnson scored the team's only touchdown on a 6-yard run for a 12-10 lead before the extra-point kick was blocked. Wake Forest took another risk but converted on fourth down from its own 45 with about nine minutes remaining. Through three possessions, Wake Forest had minus-4 yards of total offense and a 3-0 lead. Connor Calvert's 25-yard field goal came following a 9-yard SMU punt. The Demon Deacons took over in the second quarter at the SMU following Gabe Kirschke's sack that resulted in Jennings' fumble. Two players later, Ashford threw 12 yards to Eni Falayi for a touchdown. The teams combined for a punt and four turnovers in the final minute of the first half, none resulting in points. Wake Forest led 10-6 at the break. - Wake Forest/AP College Football

  Memphis Football   Quarterback Brendon Lewis connected with Cortez Braham Jr. for a 10-yard touchdown with 1:07 remaining to give Memphis a come-from-behind 34-31 victory over No. 18 South Florida on Saturday. South Florida kicker Nico Gramatica missed a 52-yard field goal as time expired to preserve Memphis' victory. Memphis trailed 31-17 entering the fourth quarter, but a 13-yard run by Greg Desrosiers Jr. early in the period and a 28-yard field goal from Gianni Spetic pulled Memphis (7-1, 3-1 American Athletic Conference) within 31-26. That set the stage for the winning drive by Memphis, including the 2-point conversion.

Lewis, who finished with 307 yards passing, threw a fade route to Braham on the right side of the end zone for the winning score. South Florida quarterback Byrum Brown accounted for three touchdowns and 390 yards of total offense. Brown rushed for 121 yards and a pair of touchdowns and threw for 269 yards, including a scoring pass of 5 yards to Jeremiah Koger as the Bulls (6-2, 3-1), had their four-game winning streak snapped. Sam Franklin added a 73-yard touchdown run in the second half. Brown used his versatility to lead the Bulls offense. His lone mistake of the first half was an interception by Memphis' Everett Roussaw Jr. that set up a 19-yard scoring run by Frank Pleasant. That was the only offensive success generated by Memphis until the closing minute of the half when Lewis connected with Braham for a 5-yard touchdown. - Memphis/AP College Football
