| The Canes scored 31 straight points after a 7-7 first quarter. Miami struck for 21 in the third quarter, starting with safety Ed Reed's 27-yard interception return for a TD on Troy State's second play of the second half.
|
With FSU looming, the Canes weren't sharp. They didn't dominate an overmatched team. But Ken Dorsey still threw for 299 yards and two TDs, good enough to be singled out in an otherwise routine victory. |

| Oklahoma safety Roy Williams hit Chris Simms near the goal line while he was throwing, forcing the ball to flutter into the hands of linebacker Teddy Lehman, who trotted two yards for a touchdown with under two minutes to play. |
Start with Roy Williams, the leader of a Sooners defense that scored for the fourth straight game and intercepted Chris Simms a total of four times. But OU backup quarterback Jason White should also be singled out for filling in admirably for an injured Nate Hybl. White's scrambling was key to OU's first touchdown, which came on a fourth-down option play that saw Quentin Griffin run 17 yards for the score. |

The Virginia Tech defense, which notched its third shutout in five games. Jim Davis even put an exclamation mark on the whitewash, returning an interception 27 yards for the Hokies' final touchdown.

David Greene, a redshirt freshman, who drove the Bulldogs 59 yards in 39 seconds for the winning score. He finished 21 of 34 for 303 yards and two TDs against a Vols defense that ranked third in the country in allowing just 222.3 yards a game. |

Michigan's defense did something no team had ever done to a Penn State team coached by Paterno since his arrival in 1966. That's enough for us to give out 11 game balls. |

But with 13-10 lead after three quarters the game was secure. Why? Texas A&M hasn't allowed a point in the fourth quarter this season. |
