College football scores, results: Oregon's wild win over Ohio State caps another chaotic day
Posted on | Posted on angela

We knew Week 7 would have a hard time matching the drama of Week 6, but it was almost as intense.

In the day's main event, No. 3 Oregon defeated No. 2 Ohio State 32-31 in a back-and-forth heavyweight contest in Eugene. The Big Ten showdown was the first top-three matchup of the season and featured numerous lead changes and a dramatic finish at every turn.

And in perhaps the most exciting game on Saturday, No. 13 LSU came back to beat No. 9 Mississippi with a TD throw from Garrett Nussmeier in overtime. It was a crucial result in a crowded SEC title race as we reach the halfway point of this year's college football season.

And to top off the night, No. 18 Kansas State beat Colorado 31-28 after a wild finish in Boulder.

Earlier in the day, No. 7 Alabama was dealing with another rock-solid game at home against South Carolina. The Crimson Tide needed some late-game defensive heroics to hold off the Gamecocks for a 27-25 win. Later, No. 4 Penn State needed a comeback of its own before pulling out a 33-30 win in overtime at the Coliseum.

Meanwhile, the No. 1 team in the country left no doubt about how the Red River Rivalry game against Oklahoma would turn out. The Longhorns allowed an early field goal before scoring 34 straight points in a loss in the Cotton Bowl.

That's how it went on Saturday.
