Saturday noon window: Ole Miss pulls away and Duke's Nate Sheppard scores five

No. 12 Ole Miss broke open a close game with 28 straight points and beat Auburn 45-15, and Nate Sheppard ran for a school-record five touchdowns in Duke's 47-2 win over Boston College. Those were the two most lopsided results of a noon window that also knocked off two ranked teams.

Ole Miss 45, Auburn 15. Auburn was within 17-15 in the third quarter after a 7-yard Byrum Brown touchdown run and a failed two-point try. Then Trinidad Chambliss took over. He ran 26 yards for a touchdown, threw fourth-quarter scores of 6 yards to Caleb Cunningham and 28 yards to Horatio Fields, and Deuce Knight added a 17-yard touchdown run. Chambliss finished 22 of 34 for 263 yards with two touchdowns and an interception, and ran for 65 yards. Ole Miss outgained Auburn 482-283 and held the Tigers to 54 rushing yards. Tah'j Butler had two sacks. The Rebels played without running back Kewan Lacy, who was ruled out with a dislocated shoulder.

Duke 47, Boston College 2. Sheppard scored on runs of 1, 2, 54, 4 and 1 yards and finished with 97 yards on 20 carries. According to the Associated Press, he now has 18 total touchdowns this season, a Duke single-season record. Walker Eget threw for 201 yards and a touchdown to Jeremiah Hasley. Boston College's only points came when Carter Davis returned a blocked extra point 100 yards, the first defensive conversion Duke has allowed since 1999, per the AP. BC was flagged 15 times for 129 yards.

Illinois 20, Maryland 17. Ethan Moczulski kicked a 26-yard field goal on the final play. Illinois, a week removed from beating Oregon, did not lead until Javari Barnett's 64-yard touchdown run on the first play of the fourth quarter. Katin Houser returned from a hand injury and threw for 223 yards, and Collin Dixon caught six passes for 103. Maryland has lost six straight and played its first game under interim coach Aazaar Abdul-Rahim.

Michigan 28, Rutgers 21. Rutgers tied it at 21 with 11:43 left on Clay Thevenin's 1-yard run and a two-point pass. Tommy Carr answered with a 9-yard touchdown run with 4:24 to go, his second rushing score of the day. Carr completed 22 of 27 passes for 266 yards and a touchdown to JJ Buchanan, and Michigan held the ball for 39:06. AJ Surace completed only three passes for Rutgers, but one went 80 yards to Jourdin Houston for a touchdown.

NC State 31, California 10. In their first game since firing Dave Doeren, the Wolfpack broke a 10-10 tie with two third-quarter touchdowns under interim coach Todd Goebbel. CJ Bailey threw touchdowns of 49 yards to Deandre Desinor and 38 yards to Chance Robinson, and Davion Gause ran for 104 yards and a score. The search to replace Doeren is still going (Philip Rivers story).
