Ohio St. 31, UCF 16 — Braxton Miller became the first Buckeyes quarterback to rush for three TDs in 34 years and passed for another score to lead No. 14 Ohio State over the Knights (1-1) in Columbus, Ohio. A week after setting a school record for quarterbacks with 161 rushing yards in a 56-10 win over Miami (Ohio), Miller had 141 yards on 27 carries.

The last Ohio State quarterback to rush for three TDs in a game was Art Schlichter against Illinois in 1978.

UCLA 36, No. 17 Nebraska 30 — Brett Hundley passed for 305 yards and four TDs, Datone Jones sacked Taylor Martinez for a tiebreaking safety with 8:44 to play, and the Bruins surprised the No. 17 Cornhuskers (1-1) in Pasadena, Calif.

Johnathan Franklin rushed for 217 yards and caught an 8-yard TD pass with 2:13 to play for UCLA, which improved to 2-0 under new coach Jim Mora.

Texas 45, New Mexico 0 — Quarterback David Ash scored on a 49-yard TD run and had receivers turn short throws into two more scores as the No. 17 Longhorns (2-0) won easily in Austin, Texas. Ash was 16 of 22 for a career-high 221 yards. New Mexico (1-1) held the ball for nearly 20 minutes in the first half, but quarterback B.R. Holbrook was knocked out of the game in the second quarter after taking a blow to the helmet on a tackle.

Michigan 31, Air Force 25 — Denard Robinson ran for 218 yards, threw for 208, and scored four times to help the No. 19 Wolverines (1-1) hold off the Falcons (1-1) in Ann Arbor, Mich.

Robinson became the first player in major college football since at least 1996 to have at least 200 yards rushing and 200 passing in three games, according to STATS LLC.

The Wolverines bounced back after a 41-14 loss to Alabama, though they had a tough time beating the Falcons in a game they were favored to win easily. Cody Getz ran for 130 yards, with his third rushing TD and a 2-point conversion pulling Air Force within three early in the fourth.

TCU 56, Grambling St. 0 — Casey Pachall threw three TD passes after the No. 20 Horned Frogs had already scored TDs on special teams and defense in the first 7 minutes of a rout in Forth Worth, Texas.

Pachall threw TD passes of 12 and 66 yards to Josh Boyce in TCU’s first game as a Big 12 member, and the debut of their $164 million completely re-done stadium. Pachall played only the first half and was 9 of 9 passing for 201 yards.

Notre Dame 20, Purdue 17 — Tommy Rees came off the bench to lead a last-minute winning drive as the No. 22 Irish (2-0) got a 27-yard field goal from Kyle Brindza with seven seconds to go and beat the Boilermakers (1-1) in South Bend, Ind.

Rees, who was suspended for the opener after he was involved in a skirmish with police at a party in May, relieved starter Everett Golson late in the fourth quarter.

Louisville 35, Missouri St. 7 — Teddy Bridgewater completed 30 of 39 passes for a career-high 344 yards and two TDs as the No. 23 Cardinals (2-0) rolled over the visiting Bears (0-2).

Nate Nord and Ryan Hubbell caught TD passes as the Cardinals totaled 475 yards.

Florida 20, Texas A&M 17 — Mike Gillislee ran for 83 yards and two TDs and the No. 24 Gators (2-0) shut down the Aggies (1-1) in the second half in College Station, Texas, in A&M’s (1-1) first SEC game after moving from the Big 12.end of story marker
