#1 Alabama defeats #18 Penn State – The Nittany Lions’ youth showed, and RB Trent Richardson had a big day starting in place of Mark Ingram. Richardson accounted for 190 total yards and a touchdown. An interesting stat is that No. 1 teams in the nation are now 27-0 in home games against other ranked teams since 1995.
#2 Ohio State defeats #12 Miami (FL) 36-24 – It wasn’t as close as the score would indicate. Terrelle Pryor had a big day, throwing for 233 yards and rushing for 113 more. He also scored twice on the ground.

#5 Texas defeats Wyoming 34-7 – It was an ugly start for the Longhorns, but they put together 17 points in the second quarter to put them ahead 20-7. Freshman WR Mike Davis was the star of the game, catching 7 balls for 104 yards and a touchdown.
#6 Nebraska defeats Idaho 38-17 – It was all Huskers early, and they pounded the Vandals on the ground for 360 yards. QB Taylor Martinez scored two touchdowns in the win. It was the tenth straight game in which Nebraska held their foes to less than 20 points.
#7 Oregon defeats Tennessee 48-13 – LaMichael James rushed for 74 yards and a touchdown to help lead the Ducks to an impressive victory. But Kenjon Barner was the story, burning the Vols defense for 228 total yards and a score.
#8 Florida defeats South Florida 38-14 – The Gator defense was the story, forcing five turnovers in the win. It was close early, but Jeff Demps scored on a 62-yard run to give his team a 14-7 lead and they never looked back.
#9 Iowa defeats Iowa State 35-7 – Iowa scored touchdowns on four of their first five possessions, and got three touchdowns from QB Ricky Stanzi. The loss dropped the Cyclones to 0-16 in their last 16 games vs. ranked foes.

James Madison defeats #13 Virginia Tech 21-16 – The Hokies had a colossal letdown after a tough loss to Boise State last week, and they just didn’t come to play.

#14 Arkansas defeats Louisiana-Monroe 31-7 – Ryan Mallett threw for 400 yards and 4 touchdowns in the win, improving the Hogs to 27-0 against Sun Belt Conference foes all-time.

and a touchdowns. The Tigers defense was stout, limiting the Commodores to just 135 yards of total offense.
#21 Auburn defeats Mississippi State 17-14 – Cam Newton was solid once again for the Tigers, throwing for 136 yards and two touchdowns while also gaining 70 yards on the ground. The Bulldogs had their opportunities, but could not capitalize late.

#23 West Virginia defeats Marshall 24-21 (OT) – In a heartbreaking loss for the Thundering Herd, kicker Tyler Warner missed a 39-yard field goal attempt that would have sent it into double overtime.
