Indiana upsets Penn State after the teams go back and forth in the final two minutes and have the game decided by a few inches on a 2-point attempt.

Alabama's 14th consecutive victory over Tennessee, a 48-17 beatdown Saturday on the road, came at the expense of losing star receiver Jaylen Waddle for the season when he fractured his ankle returning the opening kickoff.

Mississippi State (Saturday, 7 p.m. ET, ESPN).

The Tigers looked out of sync at times Saturday in a 47-21 home victory over Syracuse, which has won only one game all season.

Fields was 12-of-13 passing for 233 total yards in the first half and finished 20-of-21 with two touchdowns passing and one rushing.

Up next: at Penn State (Saturday, 7:30 p.m. ET, ABC).

Mertz broke the school record for completion percentage in a game (20-of-21) and tied the school record with five touchdown passes in a season-opening 45-7 rout of Illinois.

17 Iowa State 24-21 on Saturday and has yet to give up more than three touchdowns in a game.

Quarterback Joe Milton, making his first start, passed for 225 yards and a touchdown and also rushed for a touchdown, and the Michigan defense turned up the heat in the second half in the kind of complete performance that vaulted the Wolverines into the top 10 after only one game.

Michigan State (Saturday, noon ET, Fox).

Joe Milton completes 15-of-22 passes, while throwing for a touchdown and running for another in Michigan's 49-24 win vs.

After Texas State scored a touchdown on the first possession of the game, BYU used the rest of the game to show why it is on track to reach a New Year's Six bowl with a thorough domination of the Bobcats?

Quarterback Zach Wilson completed 19-of-25 passes for 287 yards and remains in the Heisman Trophy discussion.

Through six games, Wilson has tossed 16 touchdown passes with only one interception, and has been one of the most efficient passers in college football.

In the game of the season so far, Indiana staged a miraculous drive in the final minutes of regulation to tie the score and then won 36-35 in overtime against No.

Kansas State has now won four straight games after opening the season with a loss to Arkansas State, and the Wildcats are taking on first-year coach Chris Klieman's hard-nosed, efficient personality a little more each week.

Up next: at West Virginia (Saturday, noon ET, ESPN/ESPN2).

On the field, the Gators have scored at least 38 points in all three games with quarterback Kyle Trask throwing 14 touchdown passes and only one interception.

But with Ohio State coming to Happy Valley next weekend, Penn State now has to find a way to avoid falling to 0-2 and be all but out of the Big Ten race two weeks into the season.

Penn State made some clutch plays on offense but not being able to finish that game could be crippling emotionally.

Ohio State (Saturday, 7:30 p.m. ET, ABC).

But Manny Diaz's Hurricanes will certainly take the win and now get a week off before back-to-back games on the road against North Carolina State and Virginia Tech.

D'Eriq King passed for 322 yards and a touchdown, and Miami's defense has held four of its six opponents this season to 19 points or fewer.

D'Eriq King throws for 322 yards in Miami's 19-14 win over Virginia.

Arizona State (Nov. 7, noon ET, Fox).

But Fred Payton stepped in and threw three touchdown passes in a 28-14 win over Georgia Southern.

Up next: at Georgia State (Saturday, noon ET, ESPNU)

Chris Smith's 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown just before halftime completely changed the complexion of the game, and Levi Lewis tossed both of his touchdown passes in the second half to steer Louisiana to its third road win of the season

Liberty quarterback Malik Willis, a transfer from Auburn, exploded for a career-high six touchdown passes and ran for another score, as Liberty smashed past Southern Miss for a 56-35 victory Saturday

Quarterback Hank Bachmeier, who was plagued by injuries a year ago, threw three touchdown passes as Boise State raced out to a 28-0 halftime lead
