Dallan Hayden scored three touchdowns in the second half of No. 2 Ohio State's 43-30 victory over Maryland to set up a monumental matchup of unbeatens next weekend between the Buckeyes and rival Michigan. Just before Ohio State (11-0, 8-0 Big Ten, No. 2 CFP) and Maryland (6-5, 3-5) kicked off, third-ranked Michigan edged Illinois on a late field goal. The Buckeyes then had plenty of problems of their own against the Terrapins. Ohio State trailed 13-10 at halftime, and the Buckeyes were up just 33-30 when they turned the ball over on downs at the Maryland 42 with 6:36 remaining in the game. Ohio State forced a three-and-out, however, and Hayden helped the Buckeyes run out most of the remaining time. Noah Ruggles kicked a 45-yard field goal with 42 seconds left, and Steele Chambers added a defensive touchdown with 9 seconds to play. Maryland quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa, who fumbled on that play, remained down on the field for a while before walking off very slowly. Hayden finished with 146 yards on 27 carries. TreVeyon Henderson returned after missing Ohio State's previous two games while injured. He caught an early 31-yard touchdown pass from C.J. Stroud but managed only 19 yards on 11 carries.

Tagovailoa completed his first 11 passes, and although the Terps settled for a couple field goals in the red zone early on, they went ahead 13-10 on a 1-yard TD catch by CJ Dippre with 3:52 left in the half. This was a far cry from the previous two Ohio State-Maryland meetings, which the Buckeyes won 73-14 and 66-17 - although it wasn't quite as harrowing for them as their 52-51 overtime win over the Terps in 2018. That game also came the week before they faced Michigan. Down by three in the third, the Buckeyes took back the lead after Lathan Ransom blocked a punt, giving Ohio State the ball at the Maryland 14. An 8-yard touchdown run by Hayden gave the Buckeyes a 17-13 advantage. Hayden scored on a 3-yard run with 16 seconds left in the third to make it 27-13, but Maryland answered with Tagovailoa's 5-yard scoring run early in the fourth. A 2-point conversion cut the lead to six. Hayden scored again on a 13-yard run, but Jakorian Bennett returned a blocked extra point all the way for two points, making the score 33-23. - Ohio State/AP College Football

11/19/22 - Travis Hunter, Jr/2026, Colorado + More +

Freshman Travis Hunter, a two-way player who was widely considered the top recruit in the class of 2022, returned an interception for a touchdown and caught a 19-yard TD pass to help Jackson State beat Alcorn State 24-13 Saturday to complete the first 11-0 regular season in program history. Jackson State (11-0, 8-0 Southwestern Athletic Conference), which has won 17 consecutive conference games, plays in the SWAC title game Dec. 3.

Justin Ragin's strip-sack of Alcorn State's Tre Lawrence was recovered by Jeremiah Brown and a play later and Sy'veon Wilkerson scored on a 2-yard run to make it 10-7 with 8:06 left in the second quarter and 27 seconds later Hunter's 44-yard pick-6 gave the Tigers a 10-point lead. Hunter, who finished with two receptions for 49 yards, capped the scoring with a phenomenal 30-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter. Jarveon Howard scored on a 2-yard run to give Alcorn State (5-6, 4-4) a 7-3 lead early in the second quarter. He finished with 96 yards rushing on 28 carries. - Jackson State/AP College Football

Shedeur Sanders passed for three touchdowns and ran for another, Sy'veon Wilkerson had 26 carries for a career-high 214 yards and two TDs and Jackson State beat Texas Southern 41-14 Saturday night. Shane Hooks had seven receptions for 76 yards and two touchdowns for Jackson State (9-0, 6-0 Southwestern Athletic Conference). Jackson State, ranked No. 5 in the FCS coaches poll, has won 18 straight regular season games. Wilkerson's 3-yard touchdown with 8:54 left in the first quarter opened the scoring and Sanders - on a fake-reverse flea-flicker - hit DJ Stevens for a 38-yard touchdown to make it 14-0 just 4 minutes later.

Jacorey Howard scored on a 10-yard run midway through the third quarter that trimmed Texas Southern's deficit to 21-14 but Sanders answered with a 2-yard TD run less than 2 minutes later and added TD passes of 7 and 9 yards to Shane Hooks to make it 41-14 with 14:19 to play.

Shedeur Sanders handled prime time just fine, leading Jackson State to a 35-0 victory over Southern on Saturday for its best start in more than 40 years. The son of "Prime Time" Deion Sanders, now known as Coach Prime of Jackson State and the reason College GameDay was in town, ran for two scores and threw for another to lead the Tigers to a weather-delayed win. After a scoreless first quarter, Shedeur Sanders took control in the second quarter with three scores for the Tigers (8-0, 5-0 Southwestern Athletic Conference). He connected with Sy'veon Wilkerson for a 3-yard touchdown to cap an 18-play, 80-yard drive. Then Sanders ran the final 42 yards of a quick three-play 71-yard drive and three seconds before halftime, Sanders scored on a 12-yard burst then added a two-point conversion pass. Wilkerson scored on a 26-yard run for the only score in the third quarter and then the game was delayed by more than an hour because of weather. Southern (5-3, 3-2) was held to 221 total yards with two turnovers. It's only the fourth time since 2005 that College GameDay featured an HBCU matchup. - Jackson State/AP College Football

Colorado fired football coach Karl Dorrell after an 0-5 start in which the Buffaloes have been blown out by more than 20 points in each game. The school announced the decision Sunday, a day after a 43-20 loss at Arizona. It's only the fourth 0-5 start in the history of Colorado (1980, 1984 and 2006). "I want everybody to know that I have a ton of respect for Coach Dorrell and the way he led our football program with integrity," Colorado director of athletics Rick George said. "He helped us navigate the challenges of COVID-19 and did so with a lot of class. He made our young men better off the field, both in the classroom and in the community. He led our program to the highest GPA in our history, and his team was involved in a lot of different community activities. "Karl's a good man, I have a ton of respect for him and I wish him nothing (but the) best in his future endeavors. "However, the on-the-field performance fell well short of our expectations," George added. "I know that starts with me. I hired Karl and it didn't work out the way any of us wanted it to. There's no excuses and I own my part in where we are today." Dorrell, 58, was brought in as a replacement when Mel Tucker bolted for Michigan State out of the blue in February 2020. - AP College Football
