Dillon Gabriel threw for three touchdowns and ran for another, and top-ranked Oregon routed visiting No. 20 Illinois 38-9 on Saturday to remain undefeated.

Gabriel finished 18 of 26 for 291 yards and Oregon racked up 527 yards of total offense. Tez Johnson caught six of Gabriel’s passes for 102 yards and a score.

The Ducks (8-0, 5-0 Big Ten) haven’t started a season with eight straight wins since 2013. It was Oregon’s third win over a ranked team this season.

The Fighting Illini (6-2, 3-2) hadn’t faced the top-ranked team in the nation since 2007, when they beat Ohio State 28-21 on the road.

Luke Altmyer threw for 161 yards for Illinois, which was coming off a 21-7 victory over No. 24 Michigan last weekend. That win was the third for the Illini over a Top 25 opponent this season — most for the team since 2007.

Oregon blanked Purdue 35-0 last weekend. But it was a 32-31 win over then-No. 2 Ohio State the week before that boosted the Ducks in their first season in the Big Ten.

NO. 5 TEXAS 27, NO. 25 VANDERBILT 24: Quinn Ewers threw for 288 yards and three touchdowns as the Longhorns beat the Commodores in their SEC road debut.

Texas (7-1, 3-1) bounced back from the loss to Georgia last week that ended its stay at No. 1.

Vanderbilt (5-3, 2-2) snapped a three-game winning streak in its first game ranked in the Top 25 since the 2012 Music City Bowl. This was the Commodores’ first regular-season game as a ranked team since Oct. 18, 2008, when they played three games as a Top 25 team.

They had a chance late as Diego Pavia threw for two touchdowns after Texas went up 24-10 in the third. Pavia’s second TD pass, an 8-yarder to Eli Stowers with 46 seconds left, pulled Vanderbilt within 27-24.

Texas easily recovered Vanderbilt’s onside kick attempt to seal the victory.

The Longhorns opened slowly as a tipped Ewers pass was picked off by Martel Hight. Vanderbilt needed only five plays before Pavia scrambled 18 yards for a touchdown and 7-0 lead.

Ewers completed his next 17 passes. He threw a 3-yard TD to Matthew Golden on the Longhorns’ next drive, and he connected with DeAndre Moore Jr. for a 27-yard TD late in the first quarter for a 14-7 lead.

The Texas quarterback found Moore again for a 25-yard catch-and-run up the left sideline for a 21-7 lead in the second.

NO. 11 BYU 37, UCF 24: Quarterback Jake Retzlaff threw for 228 yards and two touchdowns and added another on the ground to lead the Cougars to a road win over the Knights.

BYU (8-0, 5-0 Big 12) controlled the clock, holding the ball for nearly 40 minutes.

The Cougars got a 62-yard touchdown pass from Retzlaff to Chase Roberts with 27 seconds left in the first half to head into the locker room up 14 points. They then came out of the locker room with a 10-play, 72-yard drive capped with a 1-yard throw from Retzlaff to tight end Mata’ava Ta’ase.

BYU outgained UCF (3-5, 1-4) 483-350.

Running back LJ Martin rushed for 101 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries, and Hinckley Ropati rushed for 83 yards on 13 carries to lead BYU’s ground attack.

No. 12 NOTRE DAME 51, No. 24 NAVY 34: Jeremiyah Love ran for 102 yards, two touchdowns and extended his streak of rushing for a TD to eight games in leading the Fighting Irish, who knocked the uncharacteristically mistake-prone Midshipmen from the unbeaten ranks.

Love scored on runs of 64 and 2 yards and quarterback Riley Leonard ran for a touchdown and threw two more as Notre Dame (7-1) beat Navy (6-1) for the seventh straight time in this 97th meeting, which was played at MetLife Stadium.

The Midshipmen, who had not lost a fumble all season, lost five and that led to 28 points for the Irish, with Jaylen Sneed recovering a Blake Horvath fumble in the end zone for a TD.

Love’s shorter scoring run, a 6-yard TD pass from Leonard to Kris Mitchell and a late 4-yard TD run by Kedren Young also followed turnovers.

NO. 15 ALABAMA 35, NO. 21 MISSOURI 0: Jamarion Miller rushed for two TDs and the Crimson Tide defense had three interceptions in a home rout over the Tigers, who played much of the game without starting quarterback Brady Cook.

Alabama (6-2, 3-2 SEC) bounced back strongly from its second loss in three weeks. It had already lost multiple games before November for the first time since 2007 but took this one over after the Tigers (6-2, 2-2) lost Cook to an upper body injury late in the first half.

Jalen Milroe was 16-of-26 passing for 215 yards for Alabama. He also ran for 50 yards, including a 9-yard touchdown and a 32-yarder to set it up.

Miller scored on runs of 3 and 11 yards and Justice Haynes had a 35-yard touchdown run.

Pyne was 6-of-12 passing for 42 yards with the three interceptions. Cook had just 30 passing yards when he was injured.

No. 18 MISSISSIPPI 33, OKLAHOMA 28: Jaxson Dart threw for 306 yards and the Rebels used a big third quarter to beat the visiting Sooners.

Oklahoma was up 14-10 at the half before Ole Miss scored two touchdowns in the third quarter behind Dart and tight end Caden Prieskorn, who had five catches for 71 yards.

Oklahoma (4-4, 1-4 SEC), in its first game since last Sunday’s firing of offensive coordinator Seth Littrell, was productive in the run game in the first half but struggled out of the gate on the back end. The Sooners did not cross the 50 in the second half until the middle of the fourth quarter.

That drive reached the Ole Miss 13 but ended with three straight sacks of quarterback Jackson Arnold and a turnover on downs. The Rebels (6-2, 2-2) sacked Arnold nine times.

NO. 17 BOISE ST. 29, UNLV 24: Ashton Jeanty, the nation’s leading rusher, ran for 128 yards and the winning touchdown as the Broncos won late Friday night on the road.

Jeanty’s 1-yard TD run on fourth-and-goal with 12:38 left put the Broncos (6-1, 3-0 Mountain West) in front for good. Maddux Madsen passed for 209 yards and a touchdown as Boise State kept alive it hopes of making the College Football Playoff. The Broncos are bowl eligible for the 27th consecutive season, the nation’s longest active streak.

The Rebels (6-2, 2-1) needed a victory to stay in realistic contention.
