College Football Roundup: Oregon Downs LSU, Whereas Oklahoma Romps

No. 13 Virginia Tech sixty six, Appalachian State 13

In Blacksburg, Va., David Wilson ran for 162 yards and three touchdowns. Wilson scored on runs of 20, 19 and three yards, and new quarterback Logan Thomas threw the primary 2 TD passes of his career.

No. 18 Ohio St. 42, Akron 0

In Columbus, Ohio, beginning his first game for Ohio State, quarterback Joe Bauserman ran for a touchdown and threw for three to tight end Jake Stoneburner to steer the No. eighteen Buckeyes. Luke Fickell created his head-coaching debut for the Buckeyes, shoved out in the wake of an unpleasant NCAA scandal.

No. 23 Auburn forty two, Utah State thirty eight

In Auburn, Ala., Mike Dyer bulled through the road for a game-saving touchdown with 30 seconds left and defending national champion Auburn escaped. The Tigers (1-0) scored twice in the final 2:07, simply when it looked like the Aggies (0-1) were poised for a stunning victory. First-time starter Barrett Trotter hit Philip Lutzenkirchen for a 15-yard touchdown to begin a Cam Newton-like comeback.

No. 25 USC 19, Minnesota seventeen

In l.  a.  , Robert Woods caught a school-record seventeen passes for 177 yards and three touchdowns, and No. twenty five Southern California survived to spoil Jerry Kill’s coaching debut for Minnesota. Matt Barkley completed a school-record 34 passes for 304 yards for the Trojans.
