West Virginia's Smith, S Carolina's Shaw on target

Smith and the Mountaineers had to work hard to fend off the Terrapins. Freshman quarterback Perry Hills passed for 305 yards for Maryland. But Smith and Tavon Austin were too much. They hooked up for three touchdowns. West Virginia plays its first Big 12 game at home next Saturday against Baylor in a game that figures to light up the scoreboard.

Shaw was almost perfect, completing 20 straight passes as No. 7 South Carolina had little trouble against Missouri, 31-10. He finished 20 for 21 for 252 yards for the Gamecocks, who are 4-0 for just the ninth time in school history.

NO. 1 ALABAMA 40, FLORIDA ATLANTIC 7

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — AJ McCarron threw three touchdown passes, including an early 85-yarder to Kenny Bell, and No. 1 Alabama routed Florida Atlantic.

Eddie Lacy rushed for 106 yards in the first half for the Crimson Tide (4-0), which rolled to 134 consecutive points and two shutouts before allowing a late touchdown.

The Owls (1-3) managed only one first down through three quarters and were outgained 503-110 in total yards. McCarron was 15-of-25 passing for 212 yards before leaving midway through the third quarter. The 85-yarder came 1:42 into the game and is tied for the fifth-longest touchdown pass in Tide history.

The only suspense late was whether Alabama could complete a third straight shutout for the first time since Bear Bryant's unbeaten 1966 team.

NO. 2 LSU 12, AUBURN 10

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Sam Montgomery and the LSU defense delivered a first-quarter safety and shut out Auburn in the second half.

Auburn led 10-9 at halftime, but managed only 183 yards.

A fumbled punt return by Auburn's Quan Bray set up Drew Alleman's 30-yard field goal late in the third quarter that gave LSU (4-0, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) a 12-10 lead. Alleman missed a 34-yarder with 39 seconds remaining.

Auburn (1-3, 0-2 SEC) managed only one first down on its final possession. Kiehl Frazier's final pass was intercepted by Tharold Simon as the game ended.

The win gave LSU its sixth straight 4-0 start and extended its streak of regular-season wins to 17, the longest in the nation.

NO. 3 OREGON 49, NO. 22 ARIZONA 0

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Redshirt freshman Marcus Mariota threw for 260 yards and two touchdowns, including a 55-yard scoring pass to freshman Bralon Addison late in the third quarter, and Oregon cruised cruised to its seventh straight conference-opening win.

Billed as an offensive juggernaut between the Pac-12's fastest scoring teams, the Ducks (4-0, 1-0) didn't find their stride until the second half — and Arizona never did.

The Wildcats (3-1, 0-1) couldn't find the end zone and quarterback Matt Scott, a fifth-year senior who spent the last two season's behind Nick Foles, passed for 210 yards but was intercepted three times — one returned for a touchdown.

NO. 5 GEORGIA 48, VANDERBILT 3

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Aaron Murray completed his first 12 passes and No. 5 Georgia finally got off to a good start, blowing out Vanderbilt before halftime.

Murray hooked up with Tavarres King and Marlon Brown on touchdown throws, breaking a tie with Eric Zeier for second place in school history.

The junior quarterback has 69 TDs, just three behind David Greene.

Murray also scored on a 1-yard sneak as the Bulldogs (4-0, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) raced to a 27-0 lead. He finished 18 of 24 for 250 yards. Todd Gurley rushed for 130 yards and two touchdowns. Keith Marshall also had a pair of scoring runs.

Vanderbilt (1-3, 0-2) took its worst defeat since a 48-0 loss to Tennessee in 2003.

____

NO. 15 KANSAS ST. 24, NO. 6 OKLAHOMA 19

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — John Hubert ran for 130 yards and a touchdown, Jarell Childs scooped up a fumble and returned it for a score and the Wildcats beat the Sooners.

Collin Klein picked up 228 yards of total offense and ran for the go-ahead touchdown early in the fourth quarter in a solid performance that outshined and error-filled night by Sooners quarterback Landry Jones.

Jones threw for 298 yards and a late touchdown to get Oklahoma (2-1, 0-1 Big 12) within five but also fumbled and threw an interception that put Kansas State (4-0, 1-0) in position to go ahead.

____

No. 7 SOUTH CAROLINA 31, MISSOURI 10

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Connor Shaw completed 20 straight passes and threw for two touchdowns and Marcus Lattimore ran for two scores as South Carolina manhandled Missouri in the Tigers' first Southeastern Conference road game.

Shaw missed his first pass to Lattimore on the game's first series, then hit his final 20 for the Gamecocks (2-0 SEC).

Missouri (2-2, 0-2) struggled against a Gamecocks defense that has given up three touchdowns all year. The Tigers had a season-low 254 yards.

Lattimore rushed for 85 yards. His touchdowns gave him South Carolina's career mark with 33 rushing scores, a record Lattimore shared with Heisman Trophy winner George Rogers and Harold Green.

____

No. 8 WEST VIRGINIA 31, MARYLAND 21

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Doug Rigg returned a fumble 51 yards for West Virginia and Tavon Austin had another remarkable game against his home-state Terrapins.

The Baltimore native caught 13 passes for 179 yards and set a school record for career receptions.

Still, West Virginia looked flat at times on offense, after averaging 56 points and 612 yards in its first two games. Geno Smith had as many incompletions in the first half (nine) as he did in the first two games combined before getting on track. He finished with 338 passing yards.

For Maryland (2-2), Hills threw three touchdowns, two to freshman Stefon Diggs.

NO. 11 NOTRE DAME 13, NO. 18 MICHIGAN 6

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Manti Te'o had two interceptions as No. 11 Notre Dame picked off five Michigan passes and backup quarterback Tommy Rees sparked the Fighting Irish offense in a 13-6 win over the 18th-ranked Wolverines Saturday night.

Denard Robinson, who amassed 948 yards of total offense in victories over the Irish past two years, wasn't as effective this time as the Irish repeatedly forced him into mistakes. He threw four interceptions in the first half, then lost a fumble at the Notre Dame 8-yard line on the first drive of the second half.

The victory by Notre Dame (4-0) ended a streak of three straight games in which Michigan (2-2) beat the Irish in the final 27 seconds.

Notre Dame didn't give the Wolverines a chance to pull it out this time, running out the clock after a Brendan Gibbons field goal with 3:27 left in the game made it 13-6.

Rees scored the game's only touchdown on a quarterback draw late in the first half and engineered a late drive that ended in Kyle Brindza's 39-yard field goal to give Notre Dame a 13-3 cushion.
