Week 7 of the college football season is in full swing, and Saturday’s slate is stacked with must-see matchups!
To kick things off, No. 2 Michigan blew out Indiana at home on FOX’s “Big Noon Kickoff.” The Wolverines ran away with another Big Ten game with eight unanswered scoring drives en route to remaining undefeated. Recap all the action here. Elsewhere, No. 3 Ohio State also remained unbeaten on the season after taking down Purdue by 30-plus points.
Currently, a Pac-12 showdown is underway between No. 7 Washington and No. 8 Oregon in Seattle.
Later, a ton of ranked teams will be in action, including No. 10 USC, No. 12 North Carolina, No. 15 Oregon State, No. 18 UCLA, No. 21 Notre Dame and No. 25 Miami (Fla.), among others.
Here are the top moments!
No. 8 Oregon at No. 7 Washington
Dynamic duo
Washington was first on the board after QB Michael Penix Jr. linked up with WR Giles Jackson for a dazzling 26-yard TD.
Lucky Bucky
Oregon RB Bucky Irving helped the Ducks get on the board with his touchdown run, shifting right by Huskies defenders for a 12-yard score. Oregon opted to go for the 2-point conversion and got it, scoring on a sweep to take an 8-7 lead.

Penix to Polk
Washington’s star QB spread the touchdown wealth to his stacked receiving corps in the first half, connecting with Ja’Lynn Polk for his second touchdown pass of the game. Penix hit Polk in stride, with the receiver hauling in the lefty’s pass in the end zone for a 26-yard touchdown reception to give the Huskies a 14-8 lead at the end of the first quarter.

No. 23 Kansas at Oklahoma State
Double trouble
Oklahoma State came out swinging in this one, grabbing a quick 14-0 lead with back-to-back scores right out of the gate. First, QB Alan Bowman found RB Ollie Gordon II for a 17-yard score on the Cowboys’ opening drive.

No. 3 Ohio State 41, Purdue 7
Hot start!
Marvin Harrison Jr. had the hot hands on the Buckeyes’ opening drive, and he was rewarded with a 14-yard touchdown to put Ohio State ahead early, 6-0. The extra-point attempt from Jayden Fielding was no good.
Applying pressure
The Buckeyes ran the ball for seven out of eight plays during their ensuing scoring drive, with multiple players getting a touch. QB Devin Brown led the charge and nabbed the score to help lift his team to a 13-0 lead.
Not how they drew it up
Brown was about to make a 20-point game when he fumbled in the end zone, and Purdue linebacker Kydran Jenkins recovered the ball. The Boilermakers weren’t able to capitalize on the turnover, however, and punted three plays later.
Making a statement
On Ohio State’s following possession, QB Kyle McCord connected with TE Cade Stover for a 4-yard score to extend the Buckeyes’ lead, 20-0.
Running away with it!
McCord found Stover again, this time for a 14-yard score in the third quarter to put the Buckeyes up 34-0.
Not giving up
The Boilermakers defense came up big with a sack on McCord, who fumbled the ball. The turnover led to Purdue’s one and only score of the day, as QB Hudson Card connected with wideout Deion Burks to avoid a shutout.
No first-year jitters here
Freshman WR Brandon Inniss got his first catch of the season midway through the fourth quarter, which also happened to be a monster 58-yard touchdown that helped seal the win for the Buckeyes, 41-7.
Iowa State 30, Cincinnati 10
First on the board
The Cyclones were first to strike after DB T.J. Tampa picked off a pass at Cincinnati’s 34-yard line. Iowa State ended the drive with a field goal from Chase Contreraz to take a 3-0 lead midway through the first quarter.
Finding a rhythm
Then, the Bearcats grabbed a 7-3 lead after QB Emory Jones connected with TE Chamon Metayer on a 20-yard touchdown to close out the first quarter.

Ground game strong
Iowa State regained the lead, 10-7, early in the second quarter when QB Rocco Becht punched in a two-yard score.

Boom!
Becht followed that up with another stellar drive, first linking up with wideout Jayden Higgins for a 75-yard gain that put the Cyclones deep in enemy territory.
Firing on all cylinders
Then, Becht found TE Benjamin Brahmer a 14-yard passing touchdown to make it a 10-point game, 17-7, headed into halftime. It marked the seventh consecutive game in which Becht has thrown a passing score.
