  Oklahoma tight end Grant Calcaterra has retired from football because of concussions. He made the announcement in a video on social media Thursday, and a school spokesman confirmed the decision. An All-Big 12 selection last season, Calcaterra finished his career with 41 catches for 637 yards and nine touchdowns. He caught two touchdown passes in the Big 12 Championship Game win over Texas last season.

Calcaterra said he had a concussion in practice a month ago and had since consulted numerous professionals about his future before deciding to step away. He had played in just five games this season and finished with five catches for 79 yards. Calcaterra said he will graduate in May 2020 with a degree in a Communications and a minor in Health and Exercise Science. He plans to eventually return home to southern California and become a firefighter. - AP College Football

  Shane Buechele threw five touchdown passes, Xavier Jones broke one of Eric Dickerson's school records and No. 23 SMU bounced back from a first loss that dramatically changed the course of its season, outscoring East Carolina 59-51 on Saturday. The Mustangs (9-1, 5-1 American Athletic) played from ahead and kept it that way in a second straight game with more than 1,000 combined yards. SMU had fallen behind and failed to close the gap last week in a 54-48 loss to No. 19 Memphis.

Kylen Granson caught three touchdowns, including a 31-yarder on fourth-and-20 with SMU leading 45-44 midway through the fourth quarter. Granson had 138 yards on seven receptions, while James Proche finished with 14 catches for 167 yards. On the ensuing kickoff, East Carolina's Jsi Hatfield couldn't pick up the loose ball around his 15-yard line and SMU recovered. That led to Proche's second touchdown catch. Proche, a senior, had broken Emmanuel Sanders' school record with his 35th career touchdown catch on his first score of the day. Buechele threw for 414 yards as the Mustangs finished with 636 total yards to 644 for the Pirates (3-7, 0-6). - AP College Football

  SMU receiver Reggie Roberson Jr., who has averaged 100.4 yards receiving per game, is still dealing with a foot injury sustained Oct. 24 at Houston. Even without Roberson, the Mustangs had two 100-yard receivers in the same game for the first time this season at Memphis: AAC receptions leader James Proche (13 catches for 149 yards) and freshman Rashee Rice (seven catches for 122 yards). Proche's 34 career TD catches are tied with Emmanuel Sanders for the school record. - AP College Football

  SMU coach Sonny Dykes conceded that the Mustangs did not play well and still managed to escape with a win. Shane Buechele threw for 203 yards and two touchdowns, Xavier Jones ran for 133 yards and two touchdowns and No. 16 SMU held off Houston 34-31 Thursday night. "It was a struggle for most of the night," Dykes said. "We didn't do a good job running the ball in the second half, didn't really have the ball in the second half. We had a couple short fields and made strange things happen, but again, any time you cannot play well and win on the road, especially on a short week . I got to give our guys a lot of credit."

Buechele was 20 of 38. James Proche caught seven passes for 83 yards and a touchdown, and Kylen Grayson had six receptions for 76 yards and a touchdown for SMU (8-0, 4-0 American). SMU improved to 8-0 for the first time since starting 10-0 in 1982, and improved to 4-0 in conference play for the first time since 1986. "It wasn't our best performance really on either side of the ball," Dykes said. "We made some uncharacteristic mistakes. We haven't given up big plays like that on defense. We've executed at a much higher level offensively up to this point than we did tonight." Jones had a career-long 62-yard rushing touchdown with 10:41 left in the second quarter and added a 2-yard scoring run 47 seconds into the second half after SMU forced a Houston fumble and Richard McBryde recovered it. "We've been preaching all week `It might be ugly; it might be pretty, but we wanted to come down here and be 1-0'," Jones said. "We got the job done. It was an ugly game, but I'm proud of my team and how we fought." - AP College Football

  OCT 20 WALTER CAMP FOOTBALL NATIONAL FBS OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: SHANE BUECHELE, SMU, Junior GT, Quarterback, Arlington, TX/Lamar HS,...Shane Buechele set career highs in touchdowns (6) and passing yardage (457) as 19th-ranked SMU recorded a 45-21 victory over Temple.

  SMU's improbable season remains perfect thanks to an aerial game that eliminated some of the high anxiety last seen when the Mustangs took the field. Shane Buechele set career highs with six touchdown passes and 457 passing yards as No. 19 SMU improved to 7-0 with a 45-21 win over Temple on Saturday. Reggie Roberson Jr. had a career-high 250 receiving yards on eight catches, including touchdowns of 75, 60 and 33 yards. The 33-yard score saw Buechele lead Roberson into the left corner of the end zone in tight coverage. On the two longer connections, Roberson got behind the secondary in the middle of the field with room to spare.

"We thought coming into the game we had some favorable matchups with some of our skill guys, and we had to execute," SMU coach Sonny Dykes said. "Shane obviously made some really great deep throws, and Reggie made some plays." "Our team does a really good job at taking it week by week and going 1-0," Buechele said. "It's always a goal to win, but to win that week -- not just the whole season." The Mustangs have opened the season with seven straight wins for the first time since 1982, when they were 10-0-0 en route to an 11-0-1 finish. The seven-game winning streak is their longest since winning eight straight during the 1984-85 seasons and matches their win total of the previous two years. SMU (3-0 American) remains in first place in the West Division. Dykes called it "certainly the most complete game I think we've played up to this point." - SMU/AP College Football

  The undefeated Mustangs are in the Top 25 for the first time since 1986 and haven't been held below 37 points all year. Not bad for a team that was picked to finish fourth out of six teams in the American Athletic Conference's West Division. - AP College Football

SMU, who trailed 30-9 before scoring touchdowns on their last three possessions in regulation, is 6-0 for the first time since 1982. Notes: James Proche is the third SMU to receive Walter Camp National Player of the Week honors since 2004, joining former Mustangs Garrett Gilbert (QB, Oct. 27, 2013) and Jarvis Pruitt (DE, Oct. 22, 2016). - The Walter Camp Football Foundation
