LSU 33, Kentucky 30

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) -- Devery Henderson caught a deflected 75-yard touchdown pass from Marcus Randall as time expired Saturday to lift No. 16 LSU past a stunned Kentucky 33-30.

The Wildcats (6-4, 2-4 SEC) appeared on their way to their first win over a ranked SEC opponent since 1999 after Taylor Begley's 29-yard field goal with 11 seconds left put Kentucky up 30-27.

Hundreds of blue-clad fans crowded the sidelines and were poised to charge onto the field as the Tigers (7-2, 4-1) took over at their own 13-yard line. Before the final play, the Wildcats doused coach Guy Morriss with a cooler of Gatorade.

With 2 seconds left, Randall took the snap, avoided the rush to his right, and heaved a desperation pass down the field.

As the ball sailed through the air, fireworks exploded out of the Kentucky scoreboard and Wildcat fans attacked the goal post at the west end zone.

At the other end, Kentucky linebacker Morris Lane tipped the ball and Henderson caught it inside the 20. Cornerback Derrick Tatum missed a diving tackle and Henderson reached the end zone as Kentucky fans continued to pull on the goal post at the other end, oblivious to the miraculous outcome.

The jubilant Tigers raced to mob Henderson, who caught three TD passes from Randall in the game.

Kentucky fans slowly realized what happened. Many sat at midfield as a small contingent of LSU fans celebrated.

Kentucky lost for the 13th straight time to a ranked league opponent.

Jared Lorenzen threw three touchdown passes to Aaron Boone, and SEC leading rusher Artose Pinner had 143 yards on 27 carries, his seventh 100-yard game of the season.

Lorenzen led a 98-yard touchdown drive in the first quarter, the longest scoring drive of the season against LSU, the nation's top-ranked defense.

LSU appeared like it would punt early in the second quarter, facing a third-and-9 from its 30. Randall took the snap and shovel-passed to Henderson, who was heading in the other direction. Henderson turned upfield and outran the Kentucky defense to tie the game at 7.

Randall found his rhythm in the closing minutes of the first half, going 7-of-13 for 157 yards with two TD passes.

The Tigers had not scored an offensive touchdown in the first half in three games. It didn't take long for them to strike again.

On LSU's first offensive play of the second half, Joseph Addai swept left and sprinted untouched for a 63-yard touchdown against the SEC's worst rushing defense for a 21-7 lead.

After Kentucky cornerback Deion Holts blocked a punt, Lorenzen threw a 3-yard TD pass to Chase Harp with 3:43 left in the third quarter.

John Corbello tied a career-best with a 49-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter to give LSU a 24-14 lead.

Lorenzen connected with Boone again for a 25-yard touchdown play with 10:05 remaining.

Junior Derek Abney misplayed a punt in the fourth quarter, apparently losing the ball in the sun. It bounced off his knee and Adrian Mayes recovered. Corbello kicked a 19-yard field goal with 6:02 left to give LSU a 27-20 lead.

Four minutes later, Lorenzen hit Boone to tie the game at 27-27.

Arkansas 23, South Carolina 0

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- Matt Jones threw two touchdowns passes and Arkansas' defense posted back-to-back shutouts for the first time since 1974 with a 23-0 victory over South Carolina on Saturday.

The Razorbacks (6-3, 3-3 SEC) have won their last three and are now bowl eligible. And they've done it lately on the strength of a revived defense, which had not shutout consecutive opponents since athletic director Frank Broyles' teams stopped Tulsa 60-0 and Texas Christian 49-0 nearly three decades ago.

South Carolina (5-5, 3-4 SEC) has lost three straight after starting the season 5-2. Its chances at a school record-setting third straight bowl trip under coach Lou Holtz look shaky with final games at Florida and Clemson.

After the Gamecocks' nearly seven-minute opening drive ended when Daniel Weaver missed a field goal, Arkansas didn't let them close to the end zone again. South Carolina quarterback Corey Jenkins, who passed for 45 yards and an interception in a loss to Tennessee last week, didn't fare much better with 79 yards and two interceptions against the Razorbacks, who came in last in the SEC against the pass.

Arkansas, which managed 125 yards of offense against Troy State, didn't look all that impressive early on with 126 yards in the opening half and 313 for the game. But the Razorbacks only had to outrun the Gamecocks' weak attack.

Arkansas end Gavin Walls stepped in front of Jenkins' flip pass in the second quarter to set up the first score. Jones passed to Jason Peters for 22 yards to start the drive, then Jones hit George Wilson for a 4-yard TD.

A defensive play on Arkansas' next drive looked like it might spark South Carolina, but officials ruled safety Jonathan Martin had not intercepted Jones' pitch to Dedrick Poole. David Carlton followed with a 43-yard field goal to give the Razorbacks a 10-0 lead.

Jones put the game away after halftime. With two Gamecocks ready to hit him, Jones threw to freshman Carl Ousley for a 47-yard touchdown with 11:44 left in the third quarter. It was Ousley's first catch of the season.

The Gamecocks switched between Jenkins, their starting quarterback all year, and popular backup Erik Kimrey several times in the second half. Nothing worked as both were intercepted in the last quarter.

Jones finished 10 of 18 passing for 113 yards. Fred Talley led the Razorbacks with 77 yards rushing and De'Arrius Howard added 69.

South Carolina had not been shut out since 1999 when it lost to Mississippi State 17-0 in Holtz's fourth game as coach during his 0-11 season.

Auburn 52, Louisiana-Monroe 14

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) -- Jason Campbell threw touchdown passes on Auburn's first two possessions Saturday, sending the Tigers to a 52-14 homecoming rout of Louisiana-Monroe.

The Tigers scored the first four times they got the ball and led 35-0 at halftime before playing their reserves in the second half.

Campbell completed 8-of-10 passes for 184 yards, with backup Daniel Cobb taking over early in the second quarter. Cobb completed 13-of-20 passes for 109 yards and two touchdowns. He threw one interception.

Auburn's top rusher was backup Tre Smith. He rushed nine times for 65 yards, including a touchdown, and caught a pass for another TD.

Ronnie Brown rushed nine times for 41 yards and one touchdown in the first half before giving way to reserves.

Louisiana-Monroe took the opening kickoff and drove 62 yards before Auburn stopped the Indians on a fourth down at the 18. The big play in the drive was a 30-yard pass from Steven Jyles to Drouzo Quillen.

Jyles completed 19-of-37 for 193 yards and one touchdown. He also was the Indians' leading rusher with 193 yards.

Auburn set the tone on its first offensive play as Campbell passed to Robert Johnson for 30 yards. Five plays later, Campbell passed 33 yards to Jeris McIntyre for the first of five first-half touchdowns for the Tigers.

Auburn's other first-half scores came on a 21-yard pass from Campbell to Ben Obomanu, a 2-yard run by Brown and a 5-yard pass from Cobb to Johnson.

In the second half, Cobb threw a 5-yard scoring pass to Smith and reserve fullback Michael Owens ran five yards for a touchdown. Damon Duval added a 24-yard field goal late in the fourth quarter for the Tigers.

Louisiana-Monroe's touchdowns came in the third quarter on a 1-yard run by Krish Williams and a 3-yard pass from Jyles to Ben Wright.

Auburn held the Indians to 83 yards rushing and 276 yards total offense.

Florida 21, Vanderbilt 17

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Earnest Graham ran for 125 yards and a touchdown and Rex Grossman added a TD run as No. 23 Florida struggled past Vanderbilt 21-17 Saturday.

Despite an unspectacular performance in their follow-up to the previous week's upset of Georgia, the Gators (7-3, 4-2 SEC) won their third straight to stay in contention for the Eastern Division title.

The Commodores (2-8, 0-6) have lost 12 straight to Florida and 15 straight conference games, but they had plenty of chances to end both losing streaks.

Vandy held the Gators scoreless in the second half and had the ball with 5:41 left, but the Commodores couldn't move past their own 34. Vandy entered the game as the least-penalized team in the SEC, but their possession was stunted by an illegal-substitution flag and a holding call.

Vanderbilt had to punt, and Florida then ran out the clock.

Ran Carthon carried 14 times for 83 yards for the Gators, who had more yards running (223) than passing. Grossman was 17-of-32 for 170 yards.

Florida hurt itself with several miscues in the first half, including seven penalties, a kickoff that went out of bounds and shanked punts of 24 and 16 yards.

The key play turned out to be Cory Bailey's interception of Cutler's pass on Vanderbilt's first play from scrimmage. He returned it 24 yards to the Commodores 1, and Graham scored.

With four freshmen on offense, Vandy couldn't do much with favorable field position. After Florida's bad kickoff, the Commodores settled for a 40-yard field goal by Greg Johnson to cut the lead to 7-3. Gus Scott then intercepted Cutler for the second time in the quarter at the Florida 32.

Florida finally settled down with a 13-play drive capped by Carthon's 1-yard TD early in the second.

Brandon Smith took Ingle Martin's punt on the fly and ran up the left sideline 65 yards before Martin tackled him at the Florida 10. Matthew Tant scored two plays later to pull the Commodores to 14-10.

Florida led 21-10 at halftime with Grossman's 1-yard run that capped an 11-play, 80-yard drive.

The Commodores turned in their best drive of the season at the start of the second half with a 15-play, 80-yard drive, and Cutler scored on a 1-yard run to pull Vandy to 21-17 with 7:30 left in the third.

The Commodores, ranked 97th in the nation on defense, held Florida to just 149 yards in the second half.

Florida's only scoring chance of the second half came early in the fourth quarter, when the Gators got to the Vandy 30. But the drive stalled, and Matt Leach missed his second field goal of the game, a 48-yarder that came up short against a stiff wind.

Alabama 28, Mississippi State 14

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) -- Tyler Watts threw for 223 yards and a career-high three touchdowns to lead No. 11 Alabama past Mississippi State 28-14 Saturday.,

Watts hooked up with Triandos Luke for two touchdowns, including a 36-yarder on fourth-and-11 to give the Crimson Tide (8-2, 5-1 SEC) the final margin with 4:02 left in the third quarter.

The Bulldogs (3-6, 0-5), who were three-touchdown underdogs, twice couldn't cash in on big special-teams plays in the fourth. First, Kevin Dockery blocked Lane Bearden's punt, giving Mississippi State the ball at the Alabama 26. Kindal Moorehead stopped Fred Reid short on a fourth-down run.

The Tide went three-and-out again, but Bearden _ who has played five straight games with a torn knee ligament in his kicking leg _ had to reach for a high snap. His pass was short of the first down.

The Bulldogs couldn't move the ball on four straight plays from the Alabama 15, stuffed again by the nation's No. 2 defense. Kevin Fant's fourth-down pass fell short of Ray Bivines.

Bearden had been able to kick without trouble until that high snap, but he didn't appear to get hurt any further on the play.

The Tide, which outgained Mississippi State 409-246, again turned it over to the defense after failing to move the ball.

The Bulldogs got the ball back with 3:07 left and no timeouts. Charles Jones intercepted backup quarterback Kyle York's pass to end their already-dim hopes of a comeback.

Kevin Fant was 19-of-33 passing for 127 yards with a touchdown and an interception, but he couldn't get the ball downfield. The Bulldogs had just 70 second-half yards _ including 18 rushing _ and five first downs.

Watts went 16-of-22 against the nation's fifth-ranked pass defense, leading three scoring drives of 80-plus yards. He was 5-of-5 for 63 yards on the Tide's final scoring drive, throwing a perfect pass over Luke's right shoulder along the sideline.

Watts also hit Luke on a 15-yarder and Ray Hudson on a 32-yarder to cap the Tide's first two drives.

Santonio Beard ran for 68 yards, and Shaud Williams scored on a 4-yard run for Alabama, which has won four straight league games by a combined score of 134-43.

Both teams scored on their first three possessions of the game. The difference was that Alabama got three touchdowns, and Mississippi State twice had to settle for field goals.

Mississippi State got a 2-yard touchdown pass from Fant to Bivines, and two field goals from Brent Smith against the nation's second-ranked defense. The Bulldogs converted a two-pointer after the TD.

Miami (FL) 26, Tennessee 3

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Winning easy is back at Miami, and just in time for the Miami Hurricanes to reclaim the No. 1 ranking.

Willis McGahee ran for 154 yards and a touchdown and Todd Sievers kicked four field goals as No. 2 Miami scored on its first five possessions and overpowered Tennessee 26-3 on Saturday.

In extending their winning streak to 31 games, the 'Canes (9-0) ended a three-game run in which unimpressive victories led voters in the AP media poll to drop Miami from the top spot.

But with Texas A&M's 30-26 upset of No. 1 Oklahoma earlier Saturday, the Hurricanes (9-0) were poised to return to No. 1 in the new AP poll Sunday.

Of greater interest, Miami should be first or second when the new BCS standings are released Monday. Ohio State (11-0) should also be in the top two after its 10-6 win over Purdue. The top two teams in the final BCS standings on Dec. 8 will play in the Fiesta Bowl for the BCS national championship.

Miami left no doubt that it's ready to defend the title it won last season.

Ken Dorsey, who had an 11-yard TD pass to Kellen Winslow Jr. in the third quarter, completed 18 of 35 passes for 245 yards with no interceptions. Both Dorsey and McGahee did nothing to hurt their Heisman Trophy chances. McGahee now has 1,188 yards rushing this season.

The Hurricanes' defense shut down Tennessee (5-4) after allowing a field goal on the first series of the game. The Vols managed 218 total yards _ 74 on a run by Marcus Houston on the second play of the game.

Once the crowd of 107,745 at Neyland Stadium had its one big cheer for the day, Miami took over. Sievers kicked first half field goals of 37, 39, 44 and 25 yards, and McGahee's 1-yard TD run gave the 'Canes a 19-3 halftime lead.

After Dorsey's TD pass to Winslow, the Volunteers were unable to even put up a fight. Quarterback Casey Clausen reinjured his right foot and didn't play in the second half after completing just 5 of 14 passes for 63 yards. He was replaced by freshman James Banks and later C.J. Leak.

The Vols got off to a rousing start, thanks to Houston's 74-yard run to the Miami 4 on the second play of the game. But the Hurricanes held, and Tennessee led only 3-0 after Alex Walls kicked a 21-yard field goal.

Once Miami took possession, the game was as good as over. Drive after drive, the Hurricanes pushed aside the Vols, with McGahee ripping off big chunks of yardage and Dorsey hitting key passes to Andre Johnson, Kevin Beard and Winslow.

Miami quickly tied it on Sievers' 37-yard field goal, which was set up by Jason Geathers' 52-yard kickoff return. Dorsey then hit passes of 12 and 14 yards to Winslow and Sievers hit a 39-yarder to put the Hurricanes ahead 6-3 after the first quarter.

The Hurricanes then reverted to their early-season form of putting away their opponents. Dorsey hit Johnson for 44 yards to the Vols 9, and McGahee scored from a yard out for his school record-tying 17th touchdown of the season.

Two more field goals by Sievers followed, a 44-yarder after a 14-yard punt by Dustin Colquitt, and a 25-yarder at the end of an 82-yard drive that put Miami ahead 19-3. Sievers did miss once _ a 38-yard attempt to end the half was wide left.

The Vols lost for the third time at home this season, the first time that has happened since 1988.

Georgia 31, Ole Miss 17

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) -- Georgia bounced back from its first loss of the season, led by a couple of comeback kids.

Terrence Edwards caught a 33-yard touchdown pass and Fred Gibson hauled in a 17-yarder as the seventh-ranked Bulldogs defeated Mississippi 31-17 Saturday night to move within one victory of clinching a spot in the Southeastern Conference championship game.

Georgia (9-1, 6-1), which hasn't won an SEC title since 1982, can wrap up the Eastern Division by winning at Auburn next Saturday.

Ole Miss (5-5, 2-4), meanwhile, has just about ruined any bowl hopes with its first four-game losing streak since 1994.

Edwards was vilified the previous week when he dropped a potential touchdown pass with 2 1/2 minutes remaining against Florida. The Bulldogs lost 20-13, missing a chance to clinch the SEC East.

This time, Edwards caught just about everything that came his way. He hauled in five passes for 90 yards, making a brilliant move to lose the defender on his touchdown catch, which came with 1:41 left in the third quarter and gave Georgia a 14-point cushion.

Gibson had missed the last two games with an injured left thumb, but he didn't wait long to make an impact upon his return. The sophomore brought back the opening kickoff 44 yards, sparking Georgia's first touchdown drive.

On the receiving end, Gibson corralled a 53-yard pass for Georgia's longest play of the game, and he also made a remarkable one-handed grab in the third quarter that set up a field goal by Billy Bennett.

The touchdown play wasn't too bad itself. Gibson caught a slant coming across the middle, stopped suddenly at the 10 and reversed direction, losing the defender and cruising into the end zone to put Georgia ahead to stay at 21-14 with 1:49 left in the first half.

David Greene, playing all but one series, bounced back from a mediocre performance against Florida to complete 12 of 22 passes for 206 yards and two TDs. Musa Smith handled things on the ground, carrying the ball 37 times for 148 yards, both season highs.

Georgia scored on its opening drive as J.T. Wall powered over from the 1 to give the Bulldogs a 7-0 lead less than four minutes into the game.

Ole Miss, rediscovering a running game that had been dormant the previous three weeks, tied it up on Tremaine Turner's 8-yard touchdown run.

Turner, who wasn't even listed on the depth chart, ran for 89 yards, including a 1-yard score that pulled the Rebels into a 14-14 tie.

Ole Miss, which averaged 38 yards on the ground during the last three losses and ranked last in the SEC rushing, gained 107 yards against the Bulldogs.

That might have been enough if Eli Manning could have had a big night. But the junior quarterback threw two more interceptions, including one that was returned 64 yards for a Georgia touchdown by Tim Jennings.

Manning, who was 12 of 25 for just 176 yards, has eight interceptions in the last four games after getting picked off just three times in the first six.

The only cause of concern for Georgia was a couple of key injuries. Linebacker Boss Bailey, a Lombardi and Butkus award candidate, left the game just before halftime with a sprained right knee. Edwards hurt his right shoulder while attempting to make a diving catch early in the fourth quarter and went straight to the locker room.
