Final Score: (5) Missouri 42, Buffalo 21
Columbia, MO (Best E Casino) - Chase Daniel had two touchdown passes and broke two records as fifth-ranked Missouri earned a 42-21 win over the Buffalo Bulls at Faurot Field.

His nine-yard pass to Maclin later in the third marked his 20th consecutive completion and set a new Big 12 record. The previous Big 12 record was 18 and set by Seneca Wallace of Iowa State in 2001 and again by Sam Bradford of Oklahoma in 2007. He fell three completions shy of the NCAA record of 23 in a row shared by Tennessee's Tee Martin (1998) and Cal's Aaron Rodgers (2004) when he and Maclin missed on a fourth-and-1 midway through the third quarter. Drew Willy went 22-for-40 for 237 yards, two touchdowns and one interception, while Ernest Jackson had four catches for 55 yards and two scores and also added a kickoff return for a touchdown for the Bulls (2-2), who failed to follow on last week's last- second win against Temple.

The game marked the 12th time in the past 19 games in this series that the outcome was decided by seven points or less. Chris Mitchell and Demetrius Byrd each had a touchdown catch while Charles Scott ran for 132 yards on 21 attempts for LSU. Quarterback Andrew Hatch completed 2-of-6 passes for 16 yards before leaving in the third quarter with a concussion.

Hilton had one catch, but made it count as it went for 61 yards. Bulls linebacker Brouce Mompremier hurt his neck in the third quarter trying to make a tackle and was airlifted to a local Miami hospital. He apparently collided with teammate Carlton Williams, and the game was stopped for 20 minutes as Mompremier, a senior starter for the Bulls, lay motionless on the field. Doctors believe the injury to be spinal cord-related, but the severity was not immediately clear. Before he was airlifted off the field, it appeared as though he was moving his arms slowly. Williams limped off the field with a leg injury a few minutes after the play.

Columbus, OH (Best E Casino) - Freshman Terrelle Pryor threw four touchdown passes in his first collegiate start to lead 13th-ranked Ohio State to a 28-10 victory over Troy at Ohio Stadium.

The highly-touted quarterback added 66 rushing yards on 14 carries in a highly-impressive performance. Brian Hartline hauled in two of Pryor's scoring strikes and Dan Herron, filling in again for an injured Chris Wells, added 94 rushing yards on 20 carries for Ohio State, which was given a test by the underdog Trojans before pulling away with a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns.

Troy's Jamie Hampton threw for 218 yards and a touchdown on 30-of-43 passing, but was intercepted twice by OSU safety Kurt Coleman.

East Carolina had the ball first in the extra period and the NC State defense came up with the big play, as Shea McKeen sacked Patrick Pinkney and forced a fumble. It took the Wolfpack offense just three plays to win the game. After Wilson lost a yard on the first play, Brown ran through tackles for 16 yards to the 10-yard line, then finished the contest on the next play with another strong run to the end zone. North Carolina State (2-2) never led until the final play. Brown ran for 73 yards on 12 carries and Wilson completed 21- of-31 passes for 210 yards with three scores for the Wolfpack, who were coming off a 27-9 loss at Clemson last week.

Norman Whitley led the way with 83 yards and a score on nine carries for East Carolina (3-1), which had beaten Virginia Tech, West Virginia and Tulane to open the season.
Final Score: (16) Penn State 45, Temple 3
University Park, PA (Best E Casino) - Penn State showed off another of its offensive weapons in another lopsided victory, as running back Stephfon Green busted out for 132 yards and a touchdown in the 16th-ranked Nittany Lions' 45-3 rout of Temple at Beaver Stadium. Green was part of a 303-yard rushing attack for the Nittany Lions (4-0) who have blitzed their first four opponents with a dynamic offense and an overshadowed defense. Evan Royster ran for 73 yards and each back scored a touchdown. As did quarterback Daryll Clark, who also completed 13-of-20 passes for 196 yards and two touchdowns with an interception. Head coach Joe Paterno watched the first-half masterpiece from the sideline despite leg discomfort. He moved into the press box during the second half. Temple starting quarterback Adam DiMichele injured his right shoulder on Temple's first series when defensive end Aaron Maybin unloaded a big hit on the signal-caller. His replacement, Chester Stewart, had a rough day with three interceptions on 16-of-30 passing for 116 yards while also taking six sacks.

Both teams scored in the first overtime -- a one-yard rush by Toledo's Aaron Opelt and a seven- yard TD reception by Fresno's Isaac Kinter -- to send the game into another extra frame. In the second OT, Brandstater then took the snap up the middle on a quarterback sneak and into the end zone for a 55-48 lead. Though, John Allen caught a three-yard TD pass for Toledo to potentially send the game to a third overtime. Brazenly, the Rockets decided to go for the two-point conversion to put an end to the game.
