No. 7 Auburn 65, No. 12 Arkansas 43

Quarterback Cam Newton had another brilliant performance, runnning for 188 yards, passing for 140 and accounting for four touchdowns as No. 7 Auburn beat No. 12 Arkansas 65-43.

The teams set a Southeastern Conference record for most points in a non-overtime game. The previous mark was South Carolina's 65-39 victory over Mississippi State in 1995.

Newton, leaving little doubt that he's a serious Heisman contender, ran for three touchdowns and passed for another in a game that went back and forth until Auburn (7-0, 4-0 SEC) pulled away in the fourth quarter.

Arkansas (4-2, 1-2) hung on, even after losing star quarterback Ryan Mallett to a head injury in the first half.

No. 4 TCU 31, BYU 3

Andy Dalton threw four touchdown passes, including two barely a minute apart late in the first half, and TCU narrowly missed a third consecutive shutout.

The Frogs led just 3-0 with two minutes left before halftime when a sack forced the Cougars to punt from their 4-yard line. Given good field position, Dalton found Josh Boyce on a 35-yard score two plays later.

TCU (7-0, 3-0 Mountain West) got the ball right back on an interception, and Dalton hit a wide-open Jimmy Young in the end zone for a 14-yard score that made it 17-0 with 26 seconds left in the half.

No. 6 Oklahoma 52, Iowa State 0

DeMarco Murray scored three times to set Oklahoma's career record for touchdowns, Ryan Broyles broke his own mark for receptions in a game and the Sooners rolled.

Murray ran for 112 yards and two touchdowns and scored on a 15-yard screen pass to surpass 1969 Heisman Trophy winner Steve Owens' record of 57 touchdowns in his career.

Landry Jones threw for 334 yards and three touchdowns while completing the highest percentage of any Oklahoma quarterback with at least 25 attempts. Broyles finished with 182 yards on 15 catches and one touchdown.

It was the 12th straight win in the series for the Sooners (6-0, 2-0 Big 12), who face a showdown at No. 21 Missouri next Saturday night.

Kentucky 31, No. 10 S. Carolina 28

Kentucky's Randall Cobb caught a 24-yard touchdown pass with 1:15 remaining then added the two-point conversion to cap a furious second-half rally and give the Wildcats a win.

Mike Hartline threw for a career-high 349 yards and four touchdowns for Kentucky (4-3, 1-3 SEC), which overcame an 18-point halftime deficit to stun the Gamecocks (4-2, 2-2).

South Carolina, which knocked off defending national champion Alabama last weekend, drove to the Kentucky 20 but quarterback Stephen Garcia's heave into the end zone was intercepted by Kentucky's Anthony Mosley with 4 seconds remaining.

No. 11 Utah 30, Wyoming 6

Jordan Wynn passed for 230 yards and two touchdowns and Matt Asiata ran for 109 yards as No. 11 Utah kept its record unblemished.

The Utes were held under their 49-point scoring average mostly because of three interceptions thrown by Wynn, including two in the end zone, but still had no problem with the Cowboys.

The Utes (6-0, 3-0 Mountain West) will be heavily favored next week against Colorado State before testing their BCS credentials against No. 23 Air Force, No. 4 TCU and Notre Dame.

No. 13 Michigan St. 26, Illinois 6

Kirk Cousins threw a 48-yard touchdown pass to B.J. Cunningham in the third quarter, helping Michigan State to its best start in more than four decades.

The Spartans (7-0, 3-0 Big Ten) started slowly a week after beating Michigan, but they outscored the Illini 23-0 in the second half. They are 7-0 for the first time since 1966, when they won their first nine games before famously tying Notre Dame 10-10.

After Michigan State had trouble running the ball the first two quarters, Cousins came out sharp in the third.

No. 15 Iowa 38, Michigan 28

Ricky Stanzi threw his third touchdown pass to Derrell Johnson-Koulianos early in the fourth quarter and Michael Meyer kicked a 30-yard field goal with 2:53 left, helping Iowa hold off Michigan.

The Hawkeyes (5-1, 2-0 Big Ten) led the Wolverines (5-2, 1-2) by three TDs early in the fourth quarter.

Tate Forcier came in for injured Denard Robinson and threw a 45-yard pass to Junior Hemingway and his 3-yard run made it 28-21 with 6:55 to play.

Robinson left during the third quarter after he was hit hard on a run.

No. 16 Florida State 24, Boston College 19

Bert Reed's 42-yard touchdown run on a reverse lifted Florida State to its fifth straight victory.

The Seminoles (6-1, 4-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) overcame four turnovers by quarterback Christian Ponder to win their fifth straight.

Boston College (2-4, 0-3) took a 19-17 lead early in the fourth quarter on Nate Freese's fourth field goal of the game. That followed Ponder's fumble at the Eagles' 44.

Ponder, who had one of his poorest performances, completed 19 of 31 passes for 170 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

No. 17 Arizona 24, Washington State 7

Keola Antolin ran for two touchdowns and Arizona overcame the loss of quarterback Nick Foles by leaning on its little-used ground game.

Matt Scott relieved Foles and threw for 139 yards as Arizona (5-1, 2-1 Pac-10) rebounded from its loss to Oregon State last weekend to remain in the conference title hunt.

No. 20 Okla. St. 34, Texas Tech 17

Justin Blackmon had a career-high 207 yards receiving with a touchdown to lead Oklahoma State to its first win in Lubbock since 1944.

Blackmon's 62-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter was the longest play of the game and put the contest out of reach for the Cowboys (6-0, 2-0 Big 12).

No. 21 Missouri 30, Texas A&M 9

Blaine Gabbert threw for a 361 yards and three touchdowns and Missouri remained undefeated.

Gabbert connected with Wes Kemp for touchdowns in the first and third quarters to help the Tigers (6-0, 2-0 Big 12) improve to 6-0 for the fifth time in school history.

Missouri's defense held quarterback Jerrod Johnson and Texas A&M's spread offense in check for most of the game, harassing him into a 7 for 21 first half.

Mississippi State 10, No. 22 Florida 7

Vick Ballard ran for 98 yards, Chris Relf added 82 and a touchdown on the ground and Mississippi State upset Florida.

The Bulldogs ran early, ran late and ended up running out of the Swamp with a signature win for second-year coach Dan Mullen.

Mississippi State (5-2, 2-2 SEC) controlled the clock, dictated the tempo and kept Florida's mostly inept offense on the sideline.
