No. 1 Texas 34 ... No. 16
Colorado State 8
The Texas defense took CSU RB Kyle Bell out of the game, holding him to
39 yards on 19 carries, while the rebuilt secondary came through with
four interceptions of Caleb Hanie. The Longhorn offense spread the
wealth around with Jamaal Charles running for a five-yard score, Limas
Sweed catching a 21-yard touchdown pass, and Quan Cosby taking a reverse
48 yards for a 21-0 first half lead. Colorado State got a one-yard Hanie
sneak, and a fake extra point for a two-point conversion, to start off
the second half, but those were the Rams' lone highlights. Jermichael
Finley caught two short scoring passes in the fourth quarter.
Player
of the Game - Texas LB Rashad Bobino made 13 tackles, a
sack and an interception
Fun Stat - Net rushing yards: Texas 210 - Colorado

No. 8 Georgia 24 ... No. 21 Houston
10
The Georgia offense had its second straight shaky outing, but the
defense made up for it forcing five turnovers and shutting down the
Houston offense in the second half. The game appeared on the way to
being a tight one as the teams traded scores on the way to a 10-10 tie
at the half, and then it was all Georgia, as Kregg Lumpkin ran for 79
yards and two scores in the second half and the defense held the Cougars
to just 43 yards and two first downs. Anthony Alridge got UH's touchdown
on a 31-yard run, while Sean Bailey caught a 11-yard scoring pass in the
first quarter for the Dawgs.
Player
of the Game - Georgia RB Kregg Lumpkin ran 23 times for
129 yards and two touchdowns
Fun Stat - First half time of possession: Houston
18:29 - Georgia 11:31, Second half time of possession: Georgia 23:21 -
Houston 6:39
3rd Round - No.
8 Georgia vs. No. 1 Texas
No. 5 Missouri 38 ... No. 9 Arizona 28
Missouri got down 14-3 with the offense sputtering and the defense
failing to have any sort of an answer for Chris Jennings, who ran for
129 yards in the first half with two touchdowns, and then things quickly
changed. The Tigers got on a roll and stayed hot with a 35-point run
thanks to five Chase Daniel touchdown passes with three going to tight
end Chase Coffman. The Wildcat offense took a while to get back on
track, getting two Mike Thomas touchdown catches in the fourth quarter,
but it was too late. Missouri also got scoring grabs from Danario
Alexander and Tommy Saunders.
Player
of the Game - Missouri QB Chase Daniel completed 19 of 31
passes for 326 yards and five touchdowns
Fun Stat - Turnovers: Missouri 5 - Arizona 4
No. 4 California 34 ... No. 13 Washington
10
Cal made quick work of its Pac 10 brother with a 69-yard touchdown catch
from DeSean Jackson and a 35-yard Justin Forsett scoring dash on the
second possession. Washington answered with a 34-yard field goal, and
then Cal effectively put it away with 20 straight points, highlighted by
a 45-yard Robert Jordan scoring grab. While the Bear offense came up
with the highlight plays, the defense was the story, keeping Washington
on its own side of the field after the early field goal until a late,
oh-by-the-way touchdown drive culminating in a 11-yard Louis Rankin run.
The Huskies had just 121 yard of offense until the final scoring drive.
Player
of the Game - California LB Worrell Williams made 11
tackles, three tackles for loss, and forced a fumble
Fun Stat - Rushing yards: California 219 -
Washington 33
3rd Round - No.
5 Missouri vs. No. 4
California
No. 2 Virginia Tech
31 ... No. 15 Pitt 7
Virginia Tech's defense stifled the Pitt offense, allowing just
seven first downs while pitching a shutout until a late turnover led
to a LaRod Stephens-Howling five-yard touchdown run. The Hokie
offense had a nice balance, with QB Sean Glennon throwing touchdown
passes to Josh Morgan and Eddie Royal, while Branden Ore ran for two
touchdowns from three yards out in the third quarter. Pitt turned it
over five times with Tech's Brandon Flowers coming up with two
picks.
Player
of the Game - Virginia Tech QB Sean Glennon completed 12
of 17 passes for 189 yards and two touchdowns
Fun Stat - First downs: Virginia Tech 28 - Pitt 7
No. 7 Tennessee 17 ... No. 11 Colorado
7
In a surprising defensive slugfest, Tennessee finally pulled away when
Jonathan Crompton, in for an injured Erik Ainge, connected with Lucas
Taylor on a 19-yard pass midway through the fourth quarter. The Vols
started off the scoring on a 23-yard touchdown catch from Austin Rogers
in the second quarter, but Ainge suffered a slight knee injury on the
play. He tried to come back in twice, but ended up sitting the entire
fourth quarter. Colorado scored on a six-yard Hugh Charles touchdown run
for its only score. Despite getting in scoring range three other times,
the Buffs missed two field goals and turned it over on an interception
in the end zone.
Player
of the Game - Tennessee DE Xavier Mitchell made eight
tackles and three sacks
Fun Stat - Total yards: Colorado 386 - Tennessee

3rd Round -
No. 7 Tennessee vs. No. 2 Virginia Tech
No. 6 Texas A&M 20 ... No. 10 BYU
17
Texas A&M took the lead for good on a four-yard touchdown catch from
Kerry Franks with just over four minutes to play, and then held on as
BYU got close to field goal range, but got hit with a holding penalty
and a Chris Harrington sack to push the ball back to the 41 with two
seconds to play. A last gasp throw to the end zone was picked off by
Jordan Peterson, and the Aggies moved on. Mike Goodson ran for a 14-yard
first quarter touchdown and got two Matt Szymanski field goals for a
13-10 lead, but the Cougars took the lead in the third quarter on a
Manase Tonga five-yard dash.
Player
of the Game - Texas A&M DE Chris Harrington made five
tackles and three sacks
Fun Stat - Penalties: BYU 10 for 98 yards - Texas
A&M 9 for 95
No. 3 Miami 31 ... No. 19 Fresno State
14
Fresno State got up 7-0 on a five-yard Lonyae Miller touchdown run on
the opening drive of the game, and answered a Javarris James one-yard
score with a 12-play, 78-yard drive culminating in a second short Miller
touchdown run for a 14-7 first quarter lead. And then the roof caved in.
Bulldog QB Tom Brandstater got picked off four times and was sacked six
times as the Hurricane defense made up for a rough day from the offense.
The Canes took advantage of the turnovers and good field position to get
a 14-yard Lance Leggett touchdown catch and two short Graig Cooper
scoring runs to pull away.
Player
of the Game - Miami DE Calais Campbell made nine tackles,
three sacks and batted down three passes
Fun Stat - Net yards after the first quarter: Miami
