Corey Dauphine got the Tulane Green Wave (2-3, 1-0 American) on the board first and they never looked back as the defense smothered the high power Memphis (3-2, 0-2) offense. It was Tulane's first win against Memphis since 2000.
Dauphine had 87 rushing yards and two touchdowns, but Darius Bradwell had the big game with two touchdowns of his own and 143 yards on the ground.
Brady White tossed two scores for the Tigers. Darrell Henderson found the end zone for the ninth time this season on the ground and caught another, but he was bottled up for a season low 51 yards on just nine carries.
Tulane will head to Cincinnati (5-0, 1-0) next while Memphis hosts UConn(1-4, 0-2).
It was 7-7 after one quarter, but the Bearcats (5-0, 1-0 American) romped to score 49 unanswered points against the Huskies (1-4, 0-2).
Desmond Ridder had two passing touchdowns and a rushing score while Michael Warren II led the Bearcats rushing attack with 13 carries for 106 yards and two scores. Tight end Josiah Deguara led all receivers with five catches for 112 yards and a score.
David Pindell connected with Kyle Buss for the Huskies only touchdown. Tight end Aaron McLean had four catches for 97 yards to lead UConn in the loss.
UC hosts Tulane (2-3, 1-0) next while UConn travels to Memphis (3-2, 0-2).
The nation's longest win streak was extended to 17 with great ease as the Golden Knights (4-0) pounded the Pitt Panthers (2-3).
McKenzie Milton added to his Heisman resume with four passing touchdowns and 328 yards to go with 51 yards rushing and two more touchdowns. Adrian Killins Jr. had three catches for 140 yards, including a 71-yard touchdown.
UCF looks to keep the streak alive at home next week when SMU (2-3, 1-0 American) comes to town.
In the battle of Steve Addazio's current and former team it was his current squad, Boston College (4-1) that held off a late rally by Temple (2-3).
Trailing 38-21 in the third quarter, Ryquell Armstead took over for the Owls. He cut the lead to ten with a 1-yard touchdown in the third quarter and then brought them within three with another 1-yard scoring run. Armstead finished the game with 24 carries for 171 yards and four touchdowns.
Boston College had a big void to fill in the second half as leading rusher A.J.Dillon went down with an ankle injury. His replacement Ben Glines came up with the biggest play of the day when he scored with 3:11 left to put the Eagles up by 10.
The Owls return to conference play when they host ECU (2-2, 0-1 American) next.
Last week Old Dominion (1-4) stunned No. 13 Virginia Tech, but ECU (2-2) accomplished the same feat back in 2015, so needless to say, they weren't impressed.
The Pirates and Monarchs settled things on the field as it was a back and forth affair that saw ECU up 21-20 after one half. Old Dominion set themselves up for the lead in the second half as they picked off Reid Herring and Kesean Strong put the Monarchs on top with a 15-yard run. The Pirates answered on the next drive with a 49-yard scoring scamper by Holton Ahlers.
The Monarchs seized the lead with a Blake LaRussa 49-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Harper and then they converted a two-point conversion to go up by seven. ECU responded on the next drive when Herring found Tahj Deans for a 4-yard touchdown, but the PAT was blocked and the Pirates still trailed by one.
ECU would get the ball with 2:02 left in the game and drove down to the Old Dominion 21-yard line. That set up a Jake Verity 38-yard field goal to put the Pirates up 37-35. The Monarchs would get the ball back for one last drive, but in three plays went backwards 22 yards to secure the win for ECU.
ECU will travel to Temple (2-3, 1-0 American) next.
William Brown threw for 309 yards and two touchdowns as SMU (2-3) cruised to victory against FCS member Houston Baptist (1-3).
Braeden West added two rushing touchdowns while Reggie Roberson Jr. and Tyler Page each had over 100 yards receiving for the Mustangs. Punter Jamie Sackville also got in on the scoring as he completed as many passes as he had punts (2) and threw for a 4-yard touchdown.
SMU will head to UCF (4-0, 1-0 American) next.
