Donning all-red uniforms for the first time since 1986, Nebraska scored on its first five possessions while Houston Christian (1-2) did not pick up a first down until almost midway through the second quarter. The Cornhuskers scored on their first six trips to the red zone and averaged 8.3 yards per play.

Raiola was 15 of 21 for 222 yards and his two TDs in only two quarters of action as the Cornhuskers led 38-0 at halftime. Backup TJ Lateef came in and was 5 of 5 for 126 yards with a 62-yard TD pass to fellow freshman Cortez Mills Jr. Lateef added a rushing TD.

Edwards ran for 82 yards on 13 carries while Jake Weir threw for 67 yards on 11-of-18 passing. Nebraska did not allow a reception longer than 10 yards.

Ryan Williams returned from a one-game absence due to a concussion to make five catches for 165 yards and two touchdowns for the Crimson Tide (2-1). Germie Bernard also scored two touchdowns – one receiving, one rushing – as Alabama rolled to its second straight victory.

Bray Hubbard had two interceptions for the Crimson Tide, Isaiah Horton had a scoring reception and Alabama outgained the Badgers in yards 454-209.

Jayden Ballard caught a 41-yard touchdown pass for the Badgers.

Simpson has completed 41 of 46 passes over the past two games. He completed his first pass of the game to run his completion streak to 18, one shy of the school mark set by Mac Jones in 2020. Simpson’s second pass was incomplete.

Simpson was 13 of 14 for 192 yards and two touchdowns in the first half as the Crimson Tide held a 21-0 lead.

The first score came on fourth-and-1 from the Wisconsin 2-yard line when Bernard lined up in the backfield. He took a handoff from Simpson and headed around left end and dove inside the pylon for the touchdown with 2:24 left in the first quarter.

Bernard also scored Alabama’s next touchdown on a 43-yard catch and run from Simpson. Bernard made the reception at the Wisconsin 24 and peddled his way into the end zone with 12:05 left in the second quarter.

The Crimson Tide’s third first-half score capped an eight-play, 98-yard drive. Simpson hit Horton from 13 yards out to culminate it with 45 seconds left before halftime.

Alabama’s offense continued to roll in the second half. On the first play, the Crimson Tide ran a double-reverse pass in which Williams eventually caught Simpson’s toss 7 yards behind the line of scrimmage and turned it into a 75-yard touchdown play to make it 28-0.

The Badgers got on the board on the ensuing kickoff as Anthony caught the ball at the 5 and was in the clear just prior to midfield en route to the touchdown.

Williams then made it 35-7 when he caught Simpson’s pass at the Wisconsin 21 and raced into the end zone with 11:02 left in the third quarter.

Williams could have had a third touchdown but dropped a pass in the end zone with 13:59 left in the game. Conor Talty entered to boot a 33-yard field goal.

O’Neill’s 41-yard scoring pass to Ballard occurred with 5:29 remaining.

John Mateer threw for 282 yards and a touchdown and ran for 63 yards and another score to lead No. 13 Oklahoma to a 42-3 win over Temple on Saturday in Philadelphia.

Freshman running back Tory Blaylock also rushed for 100 yards and two touchdowns.

The Sooners (3-0) outgained the Owls 515-104, holding Temple to just 26 yards rushing. Oklahoma had 29 first downs to just seven for the Owls.

The Sooners got off to a quick start, scoring on their first drive thanks to two long completions from Mateer to tight end Jaren Kanak.

Jovantae Barnes finished off the drive with a three-yard touchdown run and then Kanak hit Jacob Ulrich for a two-point conversion to make it 8-0.

After Oklahoma’s defense held Temple to a second consecutive three-and-out, the Sooners extended their lead on a 52-yard field goal by Tate Sandell.

Oklahoma then stretched the lead thanks to a pair of touchdowns by Blaylock just over two minutes apart early in the second quarter.

Temple’s only points came late in the first half after Ty Davis’ interception on a pass over the middle from Mateer.

Oklahoma receiver Keontez Lewis suffered an injury on the play after a hard collision with Davis.

The Owls’ offense lost yardage following the interception but Carl Hardin hit a 34-yard field goal to put Temple (2-1) on the board.

The Sooners led 28-3 at halftime, then extended their lead with two third-quarter touchdowns, the latter on Mateer’s 51-yard touchdown run with 5:04 remaining in the quarter.

Isaiah Sategna led the Sooners with seven catches for 97 yards.

Early in the third quarter, Oklahoma defensive end R Mason Thomas was ejected following a booth-initiated review for targeting after initially being called for roughing the passer.

Barring a successful appeal, Thomas will have to miss next week’s SEC opener against Auburn.

Temple quarterback Evan Simon came into the game leading the nation in passing efficiency but was just 13 of 25 for 75 yards in the loss.

ATLANTA – Aidan Birr hit a 55-yard field goal as time expired to help Georgia Tech upset No. 12 Clemson 24-21 in Atlantic Coast Conference play on Saturday.

Haynes King completed 20 of 28 passes for 211 yards, and added 101 yards and a score on the ground for the Yellow Jackets (3-0, 1-0 ACC), who beat Clemson for the first time since 2014.

Georgia Tech took the opening drive to Clemson’s 4-yard line, before King threw the ball away on third down and Ricardo Jones brought down Jamal Haynes for a loss of four, turning the ball over on downs.

Clemson gave the ball back to Georgia Tech on its first drive, as Daniels forced Klubnik’s fumble, which was recovered at the Tigers’ 30-yard line by Zachary Tobe. The giveaway led to Birr’s 40-yard field goal, giving the Yellow Jackets a 3-0 lead with 5:50 left in the first quarter.

After Nolan Hauser’s missed 52-yard field goal, King connected with Eric Rivers for 42 yards to Clemson’s 5-yard line. Haynes ran in the next play for a 5-yard score, giving Georgia Tech a 10-0 lead five seconds into the second quarter.

Following Clemson’s first punt, Georgia Tech tacked on with Birr’s 42-yard field goal at the 7:46 mark of the first half.

The Tigers answered with a methodical, 16-play, 75-yard drive – which included Randall’s 30-yard rush on 3rd and 22 – stamped with Klubnik’s 1-yard rushing score on fourth and goal, cutting Clemson’s deficit to six with 49 seconds left.
