College football Top 25: Clemson, Michigan both lose, leaving a huge mess behind Alabama

Chris Blewitt made a 48-yard field goal with 6 seconds left and Pittsburgh stunned No. 3 Clemson 43-42 in Clemson, South Carolina, spoiling a record-setting Saturday for quarterback Deshaun Watson and complicating the Tigers’ path back to the College Football Playoff.

It was the biggest win for the Panthers (5-4, 3-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) since knocking off then-No. 2 West Virginia 13-9 in 2007.

Watson threw for an ACC-record 580 yards and three touchdowns. But his third interception gave Pitt the chance to crawl back from a 42-34 deficit. After Saleem Brightwell’s pick and 70-yard return, James Conner finished the drive with a 20-yard touchdown run.

The Panthers’ defense, which gave up 630 yards, stopped Wayne Gallman short on third and fourth down to take the ball with 58 seconds left. Two passes to Scott Orndoff put Pitt within range and Blewitt nailed the kick to send the Panthers into a frenzy.

(1) Alabama 51, Mississippi State 3: Jalen Hurts passed for career highs of 347 yards and four touchdowns and ran for 100 yards in less than three quarters in the Crimson Tide’s (10-0, 7-0 Southeastern Conference, No. 1 CFP) victory over the Bulldogs (4-6, 2-4) at Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

Hurts is the first Alabama player to have 300 yards passing and 100 yards rushing in the same game.

Iowa 14, (2) Michigan 13: Iowa freshman Keith Duncan kicked a 33-yard field goal as time expired and the Hawkeyes stunned the Wolverines at Iowa City, Iowa.

Michigan (9-1, 6-1, No. 3 CFP) appeared to have the game wrapped up on Channing Stribling’s interception of Iowa quarterback C.J. Beathard with 1:54 left. But the Hawkeyes defense stuffed the Wolverines, and a facemask penalty put Iowa at Michigan’s 36 with 1:23 to go.
