PITTSBURGH >> Cade Klubnick sprinted 50 yards for a go-ahead touchdown with 1:16 remaining and No. 17 Clemson fended off Pittsburgh 24-20 on Saturday.

The Tigers (8-2, 7-1 ACC) had done little on the ground all day before the junior quarterback tucked the ball and raced past a handful of stunned defenders to keep Clemson’s outside hopes of reaching the ACC championship game alive.

Klubnick finished with 288 yards and two touchdown passes through the air and added 41 yards on the ground, almost all the positive yardage coming on his zig-zag through the Pitt secondary just 20 seconds after the Panthers had taken the lead on a 47-yard field goal by Ben Sauls.

No. 1 Oregon 16, Wisconsin 13 >> Atticus Sappington broke a tie with a 24-yard field goal with 2:36 remaining and No. 1 Oregon rallied in the fourth quarter to beat Wisconsin.

Jordan James rushed for 115 yards and a tying touchdown on 22 carries to help Oregon (11-0, 8-0 Big Ten) win its first 11 games for the second time in school history.

No. 2 OHIO ST. 31, NORTHWESTERN 7 >> Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate celebrated his Chicago homecoming with two touchdown receptions against Northwestern at Wrigley Field.

No. 3 TEXAS 20, ARKANSAS 10 >> Quinn Ewers threw for 176 yards and two touchdowns and the Longhorns defense clamped down on the Razorbacks final two possessions to help secure the win.

Ewers’ 1-yard pass to Matthew Golden ended an eight-play, 75-yard drive that provided the Longhorns (9-1, 5-1 SEC, No. 3 CFP) with a two-score lead with 9:05 left. Ewers, who finished 20-of-32 passing, also connected with Golden for the game’s first touchdown.

No. 4 Penn State 49, Purdue 10 >> Drew Allar threw for 247 yards and three touchdowns to lead Penn State to a rout of Purdue.

No. 8 Notre Dame 35, Virginia 14 >> Riley Leonard passed for three touchdowns and Notre Dame’s defense forced five turnovers as the Fighting Irish beat Virginia.

No. 9 ALABAMA 52, MERCER 7 >> Jalen Milroe passed for two touchdowns and ran for a third in just over two quarters to help Alabama beat FCS team Mercer.

No. 14 Boston College 38, SMU 28 >> Kevin Jennings threw for 298 yards and three touchdowns, Brashard Smith ran for 120 yards with a score and 14th-ranked SMU moved closer to making the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game in its league debut.

No. 18 COLORADO 49, UTAH 24 >> Shedeur Sanders overcame a shaky start to throw three touchdown passes, LaJohntay Wester returned a punt 76 yards for a score and the Buffaloes pulled away late to beat the Utes.

Arizona State 24, No. 20 Kansas State 14 >> Sam Leavitt threw for 275 yards and three touchdowns, Jordyn Tyson had 12 catches for 176 yards and two of the scores, and Arizona State held off Kansas State in the Sun Devils’ first trip to their new Big 12 rival.

Florida 27, No. 21 LSU 16 >> DJ Lagway threw for a touchdown and set up another with a long completion in his return from a strained left hamstring, and Florida upset LSU to give the Gators their first series victory since 2018.
