Diego Pavia accounts for 3 TDs to lead No. 17 Vanderbilt over No. 10 LSU, 31-24

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Diego Pavia threw for 160 yards and a score and ran for 86 yards and two more touchdowns as No. 17 Vanderbilt beat 10th-ranked LSU 31-24 on Saturday to snap a 10-game skid against the Tigers.

Vanderbilt (6-1, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) beat LSU for the first time since 1990 in what was the fourth meeting since 1947 with both schools ranked in the AP poll.

The Tigers (5-2, 2-2) had some big plays with Garrett Nussmeier throwing for 225 yards and two TDs, including a 62-yarder to Zavion Thomas. Caden Durham also had a 51-yard run down to the Vandy 2 before the Commodores forced LSU to settle for one of four field-goal attempts.

NO. 12 GEORGIA TECH 27, DUKE 18

DURHAM, N.C, (AP) — Safety Omar Daniels returned a fumble a school-record 95 yards for a touchdown and No. 12 Georgia Tech pieced together enough late-game offense to beat Duke 27-18 on Saturday and continue its best start to a season in more than a half-century.

Haynes King threw for 205 yards and rushed for a game-high 120 yards, including a 28-yard touchdown run with 2:10 left.

Georgia Tech (7-0, 4-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) has won its first seven games for the first time since 1966. The last time the Yellow Jackets were 4-0 in ACC play came 27 years ago.

NO. 14 OKLAHOMA 26, SOUTH CAROLINA 7

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — John Mateer threw for 150 yards and a touchdown and Oklahoma’s defense sacked South Carolina’s LaNorris Sellers six times in the 14th-ranked Sooners’ bounce-back 26-7 victory on Saturday.

Oklahoma (6-1, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) saw its perfect start end last weekend with a 23-6 loss to Red River rival Texas.

The Sooners used a steady offense and a best-in-the-nation defense to get back on track against the Gamecocks (3-4, 1-4).
