Michigan runs past Arkansas St.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Kalel Mullings ran for a career-high 153 yards and two touchdowns to help No. 17 Michigan overcome Davis Warren’s three interceptions in a 28-18 win over Arkansas State on Saturday.
The Wolverines (2-1) scored three times on the ground after entering the game without a rushing touchdown in two games, including last week’s loss to then-No. 3 Texas that ended a 28-game regular season winning streak and a 23-game stretch of success at home.
Running was much more effective than throwing for the defending national champions.
Warren threw an interception in each of the first three quarters and finished 11 of 14 for 122 yards, mostly relegated to completing short passes.
Alex Orji replaced Warren and took advantage, throwing a 9-yard touchdown pass to Hogan Hansen to give the Wolverines a 28-3 lead early in the fourth quarter.
NO. 4 ALABAMA 42, WISCONSIN 10
MADISON, Wis. — Jalen Milroe threw three touchdowns and ran for two more as Alabama made a rare trip north and beat Wisconsin in a game in which the Badgers lost quarterback Tyler Van Dyke to an injury on their first series.
Milroe went 12 of 17 for 196 yards with touchdown passes of 31 yards to Ryan Williams, 26 yards to Germie Bernard and 37 yards to Josh Cuevas. He also rushed for 75 yards on 14 carries, scoring on runs of 3 and 10 yards.
Alabama (3-0) was playing its first true road game against a team from north of the Mason-Dixon Line since a 27-11 victory at Penn State in 2011. It also marked the Crimson Tide’s first trip to Camp Randall Stadium since a 15-0 loss to Wisconsin in 1928.
“There was a businesslike approach in the locker room,” Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer said. “They had energy right from the start.”
NO. 13 OKLAHOMA STATE 45, TULSA 10
TULSA, Okla. — Alan Bowman matched a career high with five touchdown passes, and Oklahoma State routed Tulsa to set up next week’s Big 12 showdown against No. 12 Utah.
Bowman, in his seventh year of eligibility, completed 24 of 31 passes for 396 yards and one interception before sitting out the fourth quarter. He previously threw five TD passes in a game for Texas Tech against Texas in 2020 and Houston in 2018.
