Casey Legg’s tiebreaking 25-yard field goal on the final play gave West Virginia a 23-20 victory over Oklahoma on Saturday in Morgantown, W.Va.

In the Mountaineers’ first home win over the Sooners and first overall win against the Sooners since moving to the Big 12 in 2012, backup quarterback Garrett Greene ran for 119 yards and two touchdowns and threw for 138 yards and another score.

The Mountaineers got the ball back with 6:24 remaining and the game tied, and deliberately moved the ball downfield with plenty of help from Greene.

Greene hit Bryce Ford-Wheaton on a fourth-down conversion pass to keep the drive alive, then West Virginia kept it on the ground.

Greene’s seven-yard run on third-and-6 from the Oklahoma 17 put the Mountaineers in position to run out the clock, and they did, with Legg kicking the field goal as time expired.

West Virginia scored the final 10 points, tying it early in the fourth quarter on Greene’s 11-yard touchdown run.

Eric Gray rushed for 211 yards and two touchdowns for the Sooners, who outgained West Virginia 426-406.

Neither offense had much success until late in the first half.

The Sooners (5-5, 2-5 Big 12) got the ball back at their own 4 with just more than two minutes remaining, kicking off a wild finish to the first half.

Earlier in the half, Oklahoma receiver Marvin Mims dropped two key passes.

On this drive, though, he didn’t, as Dillon Gabriel’s 67-yard pass to Mims set up Eric Gray for a 12-yard touchdown run that put the Sooners ahead 10-0.

West Virginia (4-6, 2-5) returned the kick near midfield, then Greene, who had alternated with starter JT Daniels in the first half, led the way with a 33-yard run followed by a 5-yard touchdown run.

But the Mountaineers holder couldn’t handle the snap on the extra-point try. Legg picked it up but was hit hard from behind by Oklahoma’s Robert Spears-Jennings to jar the ball loose.

Billy Bowman scooped it up and returned it 88 yards for a defensive two-point conversion to give the Sooners a 12-6 lead at halftime.

Late in the third, Ford-Wheaton caught an 8-yard TD pass from Greene to put West Virginia ahead 13-12. But about two minutes later, Gray’s 5-yard TD run gave Oklahoma a 20-13 lead entering the fourth.

Mike Wright’s 8-yard touchdown pass to Will Sheppard with 32 seconds left allowed Vanderbilt to break its 26-game Southeastern Conference losing streak, stunning Kentucky 24-21 on Saturday afternoon in Lexington, Kentucky.

After Chris Rodriguez Jr.’s 72-yard run gave Kentucky (6-4, 3-4) a 21-17 lead late, Wright led the Commodores (4-6, 1-5) 80 yards on 12 plays on the streak-breaking drive.

The key was a 4th-and-11 pass of 40 yards to Quincy Skinner Jr. to the Kentucky 8, setting up the game-winning score three plays later.

The win was Vanderbilt’s first in the SEC since a 21-14 victory over Missouri on Oct. 19, 2019 — the third-longest losing streak in conference history.

Wright was 12 of 23 for 184 yards with a TD and an interception. He also rushed for 126 yards on 11 carries and a score, while running back Ray Davis had 129 yards on 26 attempts and a TD.

A 17-point favorite, the Wildcats were led by Rodriguez’s game-high 162 yards on 18 rushes with two TDs. Will Levis went 11-for-23 for 109 yards with an interception.

Kentucky got good field position when defensive back Carrington Valentine recovered a fumble on the game’s second play and returned it 21 yards. That set up Matt Ruffolo’s 47-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead.

But on an RPO play on the ensuing possession, Wright dashed 59 yards for his fifth TD. Yet Kentucky responded with a 15-play drive that took 8:21 off the clock, getting a second Ruffolo field goal — a 27-yarder — to tighten it to 7-6.

The Wildcats’ defense thwarted a drive when Keidron Smith intercepted a Wright pass at the goal line. Kentucky drove 61 yards in 10 plays, but Ruffolo’s 37-yard attempt for its second lead was blocked by Nate Clifton.

On Vanderbilt’s first series of the second half, Davis capped a 10-play, 81-yard drive with a 1-yard plunge at 7:47 for a 14-6 lead. His 45-yard run set up the score, but Ruffolo trimmed it to five with a 39-yard kick on the next possession.

In the fourth quarter, Rodriguez keyed a 66-yard drive and ended it with a 5-yard run. Vanderbilt’s Joseph Bulovas then kicked a 26-yard field goal for a 17-15 lead.

Riley Leonard threw for two touchdowns and ran for another and Duke’s defense dominated after an early blunder in a 24-7 victory against visiting Virginia Tech on Saturday afternoon in Durham, N.C.

Leonard completed 19 of 31 passes for 262 yards with an interception.

Duke (7-3, 4-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), which hadn’t played a home game in nearly a month, stayed in contention for the ACC’s Coastal Division title pending results later in the day.

Virginia Tech quarterback Grant Wells was 16-for-28 for 177 yards and a touchdown, but the Hokies (2-8, 1-6) lost their seventh game in a row. They remained winless in six road games.

Virginia Tech was held to 281 yards of total offense and 13 first downs. The Hokies had 104 rushing yards.

Duke’s Jalon Calhoun was the game’s leading receiver with 94 yards on five catches, while teammate Jontavis Robertson picked up 81 yards on five receptions. Running back Jordan Waters gained 61 yards on 15 carries.

The Hokies scored on their second snap of the game after Wells connected with Da’Wain Lofton for a 53-yard touchdown. Lofton ended up the team’s top receiver with 75 yards on three catches.

Duke got on the board on Todd Pelino’s 25-yard field goal.

Leonard passed 24 yards to Nicky Dalmolin for a go-ahead touchdown in the second quarter.

Both teams missed long field goals in the final minute of the first half.

Leonard rushed for a 5-yard score for his 10th rushing touchdown of the season midway through the third quarter. That capped an 11-play, 62-yard drive.

Leonard threw a 6-yards pass Robertson for a fourth-quarter touchdown.

Duke won for just the second time in the last seven meetings with Virginia Tech.

M.J. Devonshire and Marquis Williams each returned an interception for a touchdown as visiting Pitt overwhelmed Virginia from the start on its way to a 37-7 Atlantic Coast Conference victory Saturday in Charlottesville, Va.

Israel Abanikanda added 121 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries and Kedon Slovis threw for 208 yards and a score for the Panthers (6-4, 3-3), which became bowl eligible while ending the postseason hopes of the Cavaliers (3-7, 1-6).

Pitt also sacked Virginia quarterback Brennan Armstrong eight times and held the Cavaliers to 144 yards. Including the sacks, Virginia had minus 8 yards on 24 rushing attempts.

Calijah Kancy had three sacks and John Morgan III added two before he was ejected along with Virginia center Ty Furnish for fighting in the third quarter.

The first interception came from Devonshire, who crossed in front of a receiver and raced 29 yards untouched up the Pitt sideline to give the Panthers a 7-0 lead.

On the first play after the ensuing kickoff, Williams made Armstrong pay again as he picked off another pass near the Pitt sideline and streaked 39 yards to the end zone.

When the Pitt offense finally got on the field, it produced a 63-yard scoring drive. Abanikanda, who entered Saturday as the nation’s all-purpose yardage leader, carried on seven of the drive’s eight plays. His 1-yard plunge made it 21-0.

The next time Pitt got the ball, Slovis scrambled out of the pocket and found Bub Means open in the end zone on a 31-yard touchdown. The play put the Panthers up 28-0 before the game was 13 minutes old.

After a scoreless second quarter, Pitt increased its lead to 31-0 on the first of three field goals from Ben Sauls.

Virginia broke through late in the third quarter with a 65-yard march capped by a 9-yard touchdown pass from Armstrong to Malachi Fields.

Armstrong, who was without his top three receivers for the second straight game, finished with 17 completions in 33 attempts for 152 yards.

Slovis completed 14 of 24 attempts, with Konta Mumphield making seven catches for 60 yards.

Aidan O’Connell connected with Payne Durham for a pair of touchdowns, including the decisive score, as Purdue upset No. 21 Illinois 31-24 on Saturday in Champaign, Ill.

With the win, the Boilermakers (6-4, 4-3 Big Ten) moved into a tie for first in the Big Ten West with the Fighting Illini (7-3, 4-3).

O’Connell finished with 237 yards and three touchdowns on 25-for-40 passing, while Durham hauled in seven of those completions for 70 yards. Devin Mockobee added a rushing touchdown and gained 106 yards on 28 carries.

Purdue took a 28-21 lead early in the fourth when O’Connell found Durham in the end zone from 12 yards out. Kieren Douglas intercepted Illinois quarterback Tommy DeVito just under 10 minutes later, and Mitchell Fineran made good on a 25-yard field goal to secure the victory.

DeVito completed 18 of 32 passes for 201 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Chase Brown rushed for 98 yards and two TDs on 23 carries, snapping a streak in which he had gone for over 100 yards on the ground in 10 straight games.

Brown also exited the game with 22 seconds remaining with what appeared to be a serious leg injury.

The Boilermakers went ahead for the first time at the 6:57 mark of the third, closing a 12-play, 90-yard drive with O’Connell’s 5-yard scoring strike to Durham, who made a leaping grab in the back left corner of the end zone.

That advantage didn’t last long, though, as DeVito threw a 5-yard TD pass of his own to Brian Hightower on Illinois’ ensuing possession.

Devon Witherspoon intercepted O’Connell with just under two minutes left before halftime, but the pick was negated due to a defensive pass interference call on Witherspoon. O’Connell made the Fighting Illini pay immediately, connecting with Charlie Jones for a 32-yard touchdown on the next play to go into the break tied 14-all.

It took just six plays for Illinois to move 74 yards on its first drive of the game, and Brown capped the march with a 2-yard rushing TD for a 7-0 lead.
