  Boise State Football   Maddux Madsen passed for four touchdowns, and both Omarion McCoy and Boen Phelps had a pick-6 to lead Boise State to a dominant 47-14 win over Appalachian State on Saturday night. McCoy's pick-6 with 1:49 remaining in the first quarter gave Boise State a 14-0 lead after Madsen found Latrell Caples for a game-opening touchdown. McCoy led the country with 19 passes defended last year. Madsen was 25-for-37 passing and set a career high with 321 yards. Caples had five receptions for 89 yards. Phelps secured the Broncos' second pick-6 with 10:21 remaining in the game.

One of Madsen's touchdowns came with a dramatic flair. After converting a fourth-and-5 with 1:53 remaining in the third quarter, he connected with freshman Quinton Brown for a 29-yard touchdown. It was Brown's first career touchdown, but he remained down after the catch and was pulled off to the medical tent with blood coming out of his lip. He smiled and waved his arms to the crowd on his way into the tent. The Mountaineers (2-2) were limited to 65 passing yards. Quarterback AJ Swann was sacked five times. - Boise State/AP College Football

  Washington State Football   Zevi Eckhaus threw a touchdown pass and Washington State's defense held Colorado State without a touchdown at home for the first time in 85 games as the Cougars cruised to a 20-3 victory on Saturday night. Washington State (3-2) held a road opponent without a touchdown for the first time since October of 2006. The Cougars surrendered 59 points twice in back-to-back losses to North Texas and Washington entering the game. It was the first road win for first-year coach Jimmy Rogers. Colorado State (1-3) turned the opening possession into a 50-yard field goal by Isaiah Hankins and a 3-0 lead against its future Pac-12 Conference opponent.

Eckhaus had a 35-yard touchdown pass to Jeremiah Noga and Jack Stevens followed with a 37-yard field goal as Washington State scored on its first two possessions for a 10-3 lead. Leo Pulalasi had the Cougars' longest run of the season when he rushed up the middle for 45 yards to the Rams' 8-yard line before they settled for Stevens' 21-yard field goal and a 13-3 advantage with 5:16 left before halftime. Tucker Large and Caleb Francl, who also had a fumble recovery, stuffed the Rams' Tahj Bullock on fourth down and a half-yard at midfield and Eckhaus turned it into a 2-yard touchdown toss to tight end Ademola Faleye on third and goal for a 20-3 lead at the half. Eckhaus completed 16 of 28 passes for 189 yards. Pulalasi rushed three times for 50 yards. Jackson Brousseau totaled 188 yards on 19-for-28 passing for the Rams. - Washington State/AP College Football

  South Carolina Football   The Gamecocks' maligned offense had a respectable night, scoring three touchdowns of their own to match the defense's two, but still struggled to run the ball (48 rushes, 178 yards). Quarterback LaNorris Sellers was better at escaping sacks but still took too many avoidable hits by not throwing the ball away. - AP College Football

  Virginia Football   Beau Pribula completed a Missouri-record 21 straight passes, Ahmad Hardy ran for 130 yards and three touchdowns and the No. 20 Tigers beat UMass 42-6 on Saturday night to improve to 5-0. Hardy sparked the Tigers' opening drive, gaining 41 yards on four carries before limping off the field after a tackle. While Hardy headed to the medical tent, Jamal Roberts finished off the drive with a 9-yard touchdown run. UMass (0-4) capitalized on a mistake by Pribula when linebacker Timmy Hinspeter returned an interception 63 yards to the 21. Six plays later, AJ Hairston threw a 2-yard scoring pass to Max Dowling. Defensive tackle Sterling Webb blocked the extra point to keep it 7-6 lead. After that, it was all Tigers.

Pribula played virtually flawless after the interception, completing the 21 consecutive passes to break the school record of 20 set by Chase Daniel in 2008. Pribula finished 26 of 29 for 241 yards and a touchdown. Kevin Coleman Jr. led the Tigers in receiving with 12 catches for 108 yards. Hardy entered the weekend as the No. 2 rusher in FBS.

  Virginia Tech Football   Kyron Drones threw two touchdown passes, Terion Stewart ran for 174 yards and Virginia Tech won its second game in a row since a coaching change, defeating North Carolina State 23-21 on Saturday night.

Philip Montgomery is in charge as interim coach.

CJ Bailey threw two touchdown passes for N.C. State (3-2, 1-2), which has lost two in a row. The Wolfpack went ahead with 10:56 remaining on Jayden Scott's 1-yard touchdown run. Later, N.C. State regained possession at its own 18 with 1:36 left following a Virginia Tech punt. The Hokies made a fourth-down stop at the Wolfpack 44 to seal the result.

  Arkansas-Pine Bluff Football   Christian Peters passed for a career-high 323 yards and a touchdown, and rushed for a go-ahead touchdown with 5:39 remaining as Arkansas-Pine Bluff beat Alcorn State 24-20 on Saturday night in the Southern Heritage Classic. Peters' rushing touchdown late in the fourth quarter marked the first points of the second half on either side. He had a 9-yard rush to salt the game away with 1:33 remaining for the Golden Lions (2-2, 0-1 Southwestern Athletic Conference). Alcorn State's loss wasted a stellar rushing performance from Jacorian Sewell, who had 226 yards and two touchdowns on 22 carries.

Alcorn State's final drive featured a 50-yard pass play from Jaylon Tolbert to Jamar Kaho, converting on a third-and-28. What would have been a go-ahead rushing touchdown from Sewell was called back for a hold, and Alcorn State turned the ball over on downs. The Braves (0-4, 0-1) missed a field goal and an extra point earlier in the game. The Southern Heritage Classic was historically held between Jackson State and Tennessee State. Jackson State removed itself from the contest in 2023. Tennessee State announced it would not participate in this year's contest earlier this month. - AP College Football
